PROTEIN ENERGY MALNUTRION Types include:[2] * Kwashiorkor (protein malnutrition predominant) * Marasmus (deficiency in both calorie and protein nutrition) * Marasmic Kwashiorkor (marked protein deficiency and marked calorie insufficiency signs present‚ sometimes referred to as the most severe form of malnutrition) Note that this may also be secondary to other conditions such as chronic renal disease[3] or cancer cachexia[4] in which protein energy wasting may occur.

small percentage of familial forms of the disease. The following discoveries were the mutations in the genes for FUS ans TARDBP (encoding for TDP-43 protein). Neuropathological analysis led to the identification of insoluble cytoplasmic phosphorylated protein deposits in brain and spinal cord. TDP-43 is a broadly expressed and highly conserved protein with different functions in RNA metabolism‚ including RNA translation‚ splicing and transport. In physiological conditions‚ TDP-43 is located in de

The Four Main Macromolecules Interestingly enough‚ all cells that build up an entire organism‚ such as the human body‚ only consist of water‚ inorganic ions‚ and organic compounds as three dominant components. Together‚ water and inorganic ions such as Sodium‚ Magnesium‚ Calcium‚ Phosphate‚ etc. make up around 70% of the cell’s mass‚ while organic compounds make up the rest. Unlike its other two counterparts‚ organic compounds contain carbon-hydrogen reactions that allow them to create‚ sustain‚

of a mosaic of proteins imbedded into a bilayer of phospholipids. Phospholipids obtain the ability to form membranes because of the fact that it is an amphipathic molecule. This means it contains polar hydrophilic heads and nonpolar hydrophobic tails‚ which make up the hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions of the membrane. The two types of proteins found in the fluid-mosaic model are integral proteins‚ which go through the hydrophobic core of the lipid bilayer‚ and peripheral proteins‚ which are appendages

Biology Assignment (Haemoglobin) Proteins are large‚ complex molecules that are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids‚ which are attached to one another in long chains. There are 20 different types of amino acids that can be combined to make a protein. The sequence of amino acids determines each proteins unique structure and specific function. They play many critical roles in the cells. They can be grouped as enzymes‚ antibodies‚ messengers‚ structural components or
