Which amino acids can be phosphorylated and what is common to their structure? What are essential amino acids? Fill in the blank. The peptide bonds that link amino acids in a protein are _______. Which of the f
Vitamin D directly influences the body's immunological response to tuberculosis by modulating the production of certain antimicrobial peptides and the release of cytokines. Vitamin D deficiency has been extensively described in patients with tuberculosis. Currently, it is a recognised risk factor for ...
Peptide binding is a type of amide bone between polypeptide and protein molecules in amino acids, which are also known as...

A tripeptide is a substance that forms when amino acids link together in a specific order. It is primarily used in communication...
Endocytosis is a regulated physiological process by which cell surface proteins are internalized along with extracellular factors such as nutrients, pathogens, peptides, toxins, etc. The process begins with the invagination of small regions of the plasma membrane which ultimately form intracellullar ...
The creation of insulin in the beta cells of the pancreas is a two step procedure. Beta cells first produce preproinsulin. Preproinsulin is cleaved to create proinsulin, which is further cleaved to produce equal amounts of insulin and C-peptide. Endogenous (self-produced) insulin has a half-...
is to understand, at a molecular level, the sequence of events that link that first encounter to the turning on of genes that enhance host health. We are using genomics and genetics and cell biology to study this, and our main interest is about the strongest ‘switches’ that turn on and...
Wilcox, T.A. Hughes, G.A. Cook, and R. Raghow. 2010. Dysregulation of sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c in livers of morbidly obese women is associated with altered suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 and signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 signaling. Metabolism 59: ...
Stomatal closure is sensitive to high atmospheric humidity, which could promote bacterial entry into the plant. After entry into the plant, P. syringae encounters the apoplast, a potentially carbohydrate-rich but heavily defended living space for microorganisms. Recent advances in the identification of...
