The double-helical structure ofDNA, one of nature’s most magnificent constructions, is critical to the phenomenon of heredity, the transfer of geneticallydetermined characteristics from one generation to the next.DNA strands are composed of monomers called nucleotides; these monomers are often referred...
The monomers linked together in DNA are called What are the monomers of DNA and RNA called? They are composed of a sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base. What are the subunits (monomers) of nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA? A) su...
functions carried out by G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which are transmembrane proteins; the nuclear factors of activated T cells (NFATs), which are transcription factors; and the Src family kinases (SFKs), which are signaling enzymes, are all modulated by the collaboration of PTMs and...
The pool of known membrane proteins is currently comprised of71% of ɑ-helical structures, 19% of β-sheet structures, and the remaining 10% being classified as monotypic. They are, however, classified as one distinct class (F) within SCOP (Chandonia et al.2017; Lo Conte et al.2000), ...
The world is currently undergoing a pandemic caused by an H1N1 influenza A virus, the so-called 'swine flu'. The H5N1 ('bird flu') influenza A viruses, now circulating in Asia, Africa and Europe, are extremely virulent in humans, although they have not s
In general, meat products are composed of dispersed fat and water embedded in a gel matrix evenly, so the gels are described as a porous soft biopolymer composite (Gravelle, Marangoni, & Barbut, 2016). However, water expulsion and fat loss are commonly observed when the meat is subjected ...
Antimicrobial peptides are defined as peptide molecules with an antimicrobial activity, composed of less than 100 amino acids encoded by individual genes. In general they consist of 12 to 50 amino acids including a large proportion of cationic and hydrophobic residues [15]. They can be classified...
The model environment consists of a 42,108-element, three-dimensional lattice composed of cubic elements with dimensions of 5 nm × 5 nm × 5 nm. The lattice size was selected to accommodate the volume associated with the Stokes radius of the largest single-agent species in ...
Our understanding of the homeobox gene family has expanded substantially in the last 20 years, not least because the numerous completed genome sequences allow comprehensive analyses. While many findings and the basic framework from 1994 are still valid, numerous revisions and refinements have been made...
Cell-free expressed MinDE(C) regulates FtsZ spatial organization.aRing-like structures composed of purified FtsZ-Alexa647 and expressed FtsA can assemble on an SLB. The ability of separately expressed MinC and MinD, or co-expressed MinC/D to inhibit formation of FtsA-FtsZ rings was investigate...
