There are many different types of amino acids, and each kind has a different chemical structure. The structure of the amino acid determines how the acid works in your body. The proteins built from amino acids control most of the processes happening inside your cells. What are amino acids? A...
Understand the primary structure of a protein. Learn the chemical composition and levels of structure of proteins. Learn the protein domain definition. Related to this QuestionWhat specifies the amino acid sequence of a protein? What determines the sequence of amino acids in a protein? What is th...
Dilution of labelled vesicles caused by peptide induced membrane fusion, determines a larger average distance between fluorescent and quenching lipids and thus a reduction in the fluorescence energy transfer efficiency. Figure 1 (panels A,B,C) shows the results of lipid mixing assays for the 3 ...
Synonymous codons translate into chemically identical amino acids. Once considered inconsequential to the formation of the protein product, there is evidence to suggest that codon usage affects co-translational protein folding and the final structure of
Active liquid-like behavior of nucleoli determines their size and shape in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2011;108:4334–9. 129. Hyman AA, Brangwynne CP. Beyond stereospecificity: liquids and mesoscale organization of cytoplasm. Dev Cell. 2011;21:14–6. 130. Nott TJ,...
How a drug is released from a DDS is a critical issue that determines whether the DDS is designed successfully. We all know that the microenvironment of tumors is quite different from normal tissues, such as its acidic environment, different expression levels of some enzymes, etc. These ...
An ankyrin-repeat ubiquitin-binding domain determines TRABID’s specificity for atypical ubiquitin chains Nat. Struct. Mol. Biol., 19 (2011), pp. 62-71 Google Scholar 29 Y.A. Kristariyanto, S.A. Abdul Rehman, D.G. Campbell, N.A. Morrice, C. Johnson, R. Toth, Y. Kulathu K29-se...
Sequence comparison of PEBP family proteins. Amino acid alignment of PEBP family proteins from Phyllostachys heterocycla (Ph) A. thaliana (At), Oryza sativa (Os) is shown. The red triangle indicates a key amino acid residue that determines FT-like and TFL1-like functions. The blue triangles ...
As the ratio of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein to pro-apoptotic Bax protein determines the chemo resistance in cancer cells28, the effect of treatment on pro-apoptotic Bax gene was also evaluated. We therefore performed quantitative RT PCR and western blot analysis both in vitro and in vivo...
Human SVCT1 (Km≈ 65–240 μM) resides largely in brush-border surfaces of intestinal and renal tubular cells to mediate absorption and re-absorption [21]. Intestinal absorption and renal re-absorption determines the bioavailability of ascorbate. Because of the limited affinity of SVCT1 for ...
