Blood is the most commonly tested part of the body, and it is truly the river of life. Learn about red and white blood cells, lymphocytes, blood tests, blood types and blood donation.
To understand how HIV infects the body, let's look at the virus's basic structure: Viral envelope: This is the outer coat of the virus. It's composed of two layers of fatty molecules, called lipids. Embedded in the viral envelope are proteins from the host cell. There are also about...
In this lesson, we will talk about the different types of large molecules and the ways that they are responsible for cell function. We will meet four broad categories of large biomolecules: nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. We will also learn about the building blocks that ma...
nationality, ethnicity, gender) and we can’t wait for them to interact with each other and other interested entomologists. Some of our speakers have never been to an entomological meeting. We expect to get them hooked, or at least speak well of us entomologists once they are back at ...
It is intriguing that similar values for the oligomer were obtained by disparate methods. Nevertheless, the methodology is now available to test the prediction that the functional Tha4 oligomer is related to the dimensions of the precursor protein or other conditions under which transport is measured...
She is also certified in secondary special education, biology, and physics in Massachusetts. Cite this lesson In this lesson, we'll be exploring how chemotherapy kills cancer cells. We'll also look at the effects of chemotherapy on healthy cells and side effects. What Is Chemotherapy?
Deep efforts have been devoted to studying the fundamental mechanisms ruling genome integrity preservation. A strong focus relies on our comprehension of nucleic acid and protein interactions. Comparatively, our exploration of whether lipids contribute t
The Vitamin D Assessment (ViDA), a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, was designed to test whether giving high doses of vitamin D once a month to the general population could help prevent CVD. Thus, over 5000 people in New Zealand took vitamin D3 orally or with a placebo. They ...
A detailed model of the composition and structure of membranes exists. But how do cells orchestrate numerous enzymes, as well as the intrinsic physical phase behaviour of lipids and their interactions with membrane proteins, to create the unique composit
Testing for Lipids, Proteins and Carbohydrates (Biuret’s test, Sudan test, Ninhydrin test, Lugol’s solution test, Benedict’s solution test, Fehling reaction, Tollens’ reagent test, Bradford protein assay, paper bag test) 2D electrophoresis ...
