Abstract- Due to increase in the incidences of drug resistant pathogens‚ there is a need for the development of alternative drugs against which the microorganisms will not be able to develop resistance. The most promising candidates to be developed as alternative drugs are the antimicrobial peptides. In the present study the antimicrobial peptide Microcin C7 was docked with the catalytic domain of Diphtheria toxin and further the simulational studies were performed to find the stability of the complex

Alhia Harris October 18‚ 2011 Biology Lab report Proteins are very important throughout the body. They have a lot of functions in cells. Antibodies are proteins that help cells rebuild the cells when they are destroyed. Transport proteins move substances from one place to another. Regulatory proteins control cellular metabolism in a way that cells throughout the body can have the right amount of glucose in the blood. A common protein is an enzyme; in cells they speed up chemical reactions. For

encodes the amino acid sequence for the protein specified by the gene. The Transfer RNA transfers the amino acids to the ribosomes from coded messages. Ribosomal RNA helps build the proteins on the ribosome. d. The reason that so many RNA molecules are produced more than DNA molecules because you only have two copies of DNA in one cell. If only two proteins could be produced at a time it would take the cell a much longer time to do the functions that it needs to perform. 2. a. During transcription

transport protein that carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and carries carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. In order to function most efficiently‚ haemoglobin needs to bind to oxygen tightly when the oxygen concentration is high in the lungs and be able to release oxygen rapidly in the relatively low partial pressure in the tissues. I will be comparing the structure and function of haemoglobin with the structure and function of collagen‚ which is a structural protein. Collagen’s

following suggested solutions and place them in the front of the room for easy access for students: a. Polysaccharide Solution - blended potato or lab grade starch solution b. Monosaccharide Solution – apple juice or lab grade glucose solution c. Protein Solution – blended meat or egg whites d. Lipid Solution – vegetable oil‚ melted butter 2. Set up 4 lab stations (twice around the room) for students to rotate. Each station should have the materials needed to conduct one of the following tests: a

provided to our class for this project‚ I told myself that I wanted a challenge. I wanted to work on a topic that I knew very little about to begin with. Some of the choices off of the ergogenic aid list seemed to easy and broad. Options such as protein and alcohol would seem to be rather easy and bland. To begin with‚ I had heard of amino acids and branched chain amino acids. However‚ I knew next to nothing about them. Instead of covering the broad topic of all the amino acids‚ this topic allowed

for the cell to function. Nucleus. This is the largest organelle. Surrounded by a nuclear envelope‚ which is a double membrane with nuclear pores - large holes containing proteins that control the exit of substances such as RNA from the nucleus. The interior is called the nucleoplasm‚ which is full of chromatin- a DNA/protein complex containing the genes. During cell division the chromatin becomes condensed into discrete observable chromosomes. The nucleolus is a dark region of chromatin‚ involved

Compounds That Compose the Human Body There are five major groups of compounds that compose the human body. They are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ nucleotides‚ and water. These are all very important to humans and without them we would not be able to survive. They have many functions that encourage a human cell and a human body to function. Carbohydrates include sugars and starches‚ contain carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen which appears in a ratio of 1:2:1. Carbohydrates are classified

Holden Gentilini Professor Xavier Rauscher English 104 2 October 2013 All You Need is Love In the short story “For Esme With Love and Squalor”‚ J.D. Salinger tells of an American soldier in England during 1944. He explains how this solider meets a young girl‚ Esme‚ that makes a profound effect on his life. By the end of the story‚ the reader can see the effects the war can have on an individual‚ and how important Esme really is. In this salinger story‚ the love of a young girl saves a man from
