The Bio Revolution outlines this tremendous potential across four areas: biomolecules—the mapping, measuring, and engineering of molecules; biosystems—the engineering of cells, tissues, and organs; biomachines—the interface between biology and machines; and biocomputing—the use ...
Cells are the elementary unit of life and they are constantly exposed to various stimuli from the external microenvironment. Signals transduced into the cell result in changes in the composition of the cellular contents, such as gene and protein expression and post-translational modifications (PTMs)1...
Aptamer based sensors have been evaluated to have excellent recognition capacity towards various types of target molecules. These antigens include metal ions like lead3, mercury4, potassium5,6,7 as well as biomolecules like thrombin8, interferon-γ9, ATP10, AMP11 etc. Fluorescence resonance ...
Metabolic engineering was among the most prevalent biotechnology study themes, and Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were frequently used in biotechnology investigations, including the biosynthesis of useful biomolecules, such as myo-inositol (vitamin B8), monoterpenes, adipic acid, astaxanthin, ...
However, the controversies surrounding the definition of life are probably just symptoms of a deeper problem, and unfortunately these have led to the larger issue of the classical divide on the approaches to the origin of life. Each definition of life has put its emphasis on a trait(s) expres...
Ancient biomolecules are a powerful complement to fossil remains in revealing the history of life.doi:10.1002/bies.201400010Derek E G BriggsRoger E SummonsJohn Wiley & Sons, Ltd.BioEssaysBriggs DEG, and Summons RE. 2014. Ancient biomolecules: their origins, fossilization, and role in revealing ...
It is clear that before TEP generation there is a need to precisely understand what are the modes of action of biomolecules used for graft production and whether they may affect response of immune or bone precursor cells. The effect of active biomolecules on osteoblasts versus osteoclasts should ...
machinery is absent. Since ROS overgeneration is the cause of increased membrane permeability, and competent bacteria express a higher membrane permeability for biomolecules like plasmid DNA [5,22], antidepressants-increased membrane permeability might be the consequence of ROS-overgeneration, or the co...
and their derivatives mediate fabrication of nanostructures in biology-based green routs. They provide biomolecules that dually reduce the bulk molecules into their nanostructures and simultaneously cover their surface as a capping and dispersing layer which ultimately participate in their stability and bioco...
What are three types of organic polymers that are important to life? What are macromolecules? Give three examples and explain why we need them and their roles in maintaining our function and health. Name the four biomolecules and explain why they are important within biological systems. W...
