aProtein has a large number of important functions in the human body—and in fact, the human body is about 45% protein. It’s an essential macromolecule without which our bodies would be unable to repair, regulate, or protect themselves. 蛋白质有很大数量的重要作用在人身体和实际上,人体是...
aAlong with carbohydrates, fats and nucleic acids, proteins are the \"building blocks of life.\" Learn about the functions of protein in the human body to find out why these molecules are so important. 与碳水化合物、油脂和核酸一起,蛋白质是\ “生活积木。\”得知蛋白质的作用在人体发现为什么...
Biological functions are accomplished by interactions and chemical reactions among biomolecules. Among them, protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are arguably one of the most important molecular events in the human body and are an important source of therapeutic interventions against diseases. A comprehensi...
CHICAGO, April 24 (Xinhua) -- A team of researchers from three institutions has unveiled the precise shape of a protein in the brain called the melanocortin 4 receptor, or MC4R, which plays a crucial role in regulating the body's energy balance by controlling how much energy is stored as ...
Proteins could also be grouped into seven categories with reference to their functions: enzyme catalysis, defense, transport, support, motion, regulation, and storage proteins (Losos et al., 2008). Proteins play a very important role in all processes in the human body. These processes are ...
IF-3 also functions in keeping the large and small subunits apart. The З’-end of 16S rRNA is located at the platform and contains a pyrimidine-rich sequence which base-pairs with a complementary purine-rich sequence on the mRNA (called the Shine-Dalgarno sequence or ribosomebinding site) ...
Protein functions in the cell, such as enzymatic activity, signaling, and transport, are driven by conformational changes between multiple states1,2,3. To understand biological processes at the molecular level, we therefore require a precise description of protein dynamics1. Pump-probe time-resolved...
the mechanisms, effects, and inhibitors of these unconventional PTMs (particularly, the non-histone modifications other than phosphorylation) received comparatively little attention. Therefore, in this review, we illustrate the functions of these PTMs and highlight their impact on the oncogenesis and ...
puts the focus on the across-tissue variability of PTR ratios rather than the overall genome, which is actually the major source of post-transcriptional regulation [17,18]. In fact, we provide evidence that high-PTR gene sets of tissues are particularly enriched for tissue-specific functions. ...
The numerous functions of SP is mediated by a single receptor, named SP receptor (SPR), extensively expressed in the reproductive organ and the nervous system of females9. We therefore asked whether SP-SPR signaling was involved in promoting food-seeking behavior in protein-deprived flies. ...
