Drug is added to either a protein or mineral supplement for a period of 7 or 14 days.

In the absence of additions to the homogenate, the product formed is an iodinated particulate protein ( Fawcett and Kirkwood, 1953 ; ;

There is some reason to think that thyroglobulin synthesis may proceed independently of iodination, for in certain transplantable tumours of the rat thyroid containing essentially no iodinated thyroglobulin, a protein that appears to be thyroglobulin has been observed in ultracentrifuge experiments ( Wolff, Robbins and Rall, 1959 ).

In West Africa, for example, where meat is a luxury and babies must be weaned early to make room at the breast for later arrivals, a childhood menace is kwashiorkor, or `` Red Johnny '', a growth-stunting protein deficiency ( signs: reddish hair, bloated belly ) that kills more than half its victims, leaves the rest prey for parasites and lingering tropical disease.

Although the fatty protein molecules, carried in the blood and partly composed of cholesterol, are water soluble, cholesterol itself is insoluble, and cannot be destroyed by the body.

The process of making proteins is called translation and involves the step-by-step addition of amino acids to a growing protein chain by a ribozyme that is called a ribosome.

Non-standard amino acids that are found in proteins are formed by post-translational modification, which is modification after translation during protein synthesis.

These modifications are often essential for the function or regulation of a protein ; for example, the carboxylation of glutamate allows for better binding of calcium cations, and the hydroxylation of proline is critical for maintaining connective tissues.

Between the layers of tiles is a clingy protein substance.

When the abalone shell is struck, the tiles slide instead of shattering and the protein stretches to absorb the energy of the blow.

Because this protein gp120 is necessary for HIV to attach, it does not change across different strains and is a point of vulnerability across the entire range of the HIV variant population.

An autoantigen is usually a normal protein or complex of proteins ( and sometimes DNA or RNA ) that is recognized by the immune system of patients suffering from a specific autoimmune disease.

An antibody ( Ab ), also known as an immunoglobulin ( Ig ), is a large Y-shaped protein produced by B-cells that is used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects such as bacteria and viruses.

Though the general structure of all antibodies is very similar, a small region at the tip of the protein is extremely variable, allowing millions of antibodies with slightly different tip structures, or antigen binding sites, to exist.

Another form of natural adhesive is blood albumen ( made from protein component of blood ), which is used in the plywood industry.

Once cytochrome c is released it binds with Apoptotic protease activating factor-1 ( Apaf-1 ) and ATP, which then bind to pro-caspase-9 to create a protein complex known as an apoptosome.

Phosphatidylserine is normally found on the cytosolic surface of the plasma membrane, but is redistributed during apoptosis to the extracellular surface by a hypothetical protein known as scramblase.

A chromosome is an organized structure of DNA and protein found in cells.

Living organisms are extremely complex functional systems that are made up of, at a minimum, many tens of thousands of genes, protein molecules, RNA molecules, small organic compounds, inorganic ions and complexes in an environment that is spatially organized by membranes and, in the case of multicellular organisms, organ systems.

In eukaryotes, the DNA is organized with the help of histones in the compact particles, the nucleosomes, where about 147 DNA base pairs make two turns around the histone protein octamer.

The structure revealed that the protein consists of four conserved domains ( RNA-Binding Domain ( TRBD ), fingers, palm and thumb ), organized into a ring configuration that shares common features with retroviral reverse transcriptases, viral RNA polymerases and bacteriophage B-family DNA polymerases.

* Virus Orthologous Clusters: A viral protein sequence clustering database ; contains all predicted genes from eleven virus families organized into ortholog groups by BLASTP similarity

The plasma membrane of cells is made of a combination of glycosphingolipids and protein receptors organized in glycolipoprotein microdomains termed lipid rafts.

A captive diet for G. sulcata should be organized around five important factors: high dietary fiber, low protein, low fruit or sugary foods, adequate calcium, and not overfeeding.

Will advances in human sciences help us build social structures and governments which will enable us to cope with people as effectively as the primitive combination of protein and nucleic acid built a structure of molecules which enabled it to adapt to a sea of molecular interaction??

This article assumes that the rations you are feeding your beef, dairy cattle, and sheep are adequately balanced with protein, vitamins, and minerals.

The strip sections containing a given protein were pooled, eluted with 0.5 ml of isotonic saline, and the eluates were tested for antibody activity.

Following activation of adenylate cyclase, the resulting cAMP acts as a second messenger by interacting with and regulating other proteins such as protein kinase A and cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels.

It had living quarters for people, fish tanks raising Tilapia for protein, a greenhouse watered with fish water and a closed loop sewage reclamation system that recycled human waste into sanitized fertilizer for the fish tanks.

Finally, quaternary structure is concerned with the structure of a protein with multiple peptide subunits, like hemoglobin with its four subunits.

Fundamental life processes such as cell division and protein synthesis can be studied using plants without the moral issues that come with conducting studies upon animals or humans.

Bioinformatics is a branch of biological science which deals with the study of methods for storing, retrieving and analyzing biological data, such as nucleic acid ( DNA / RNA ) and protein sequence, structure, function, pathways and genetic interactions.

Bioinformatics is very much involved in making sense of protein microarray and HT MS data ; the former approach faces similar problems as with microarrays targeted at mRNA, the latter involves the problem of matching large amounts of mass data against predicted masses from protein sequence databases, and the complicated statistical analysis of samples where multiple, but incomplete peptides from each protein are detected.

Herceptin, for example, was the first drug approved for use with a matching diagnostic test and is used to treat breast cancer in women whose cancer cells express the protein HER2.

For example, Bacillus thuringiensis ( Bt ) is a soil bacterium that produces a protein with insecticidal qualities.

However, the US Centers for Disease Control studied the blood of these individuals and concluded there was no evidence the reactions these people experienced were associated with hypersensitivity to the Starlink Bt protein.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens is the source of a natural antibiotic protein barnase ( a ribonuclease ), alpha amylase used in starch hydrolysis, the protease subtilisin used with detergents, and the BamH1 restriction enzyme used in DNA research.

The inner, granular and more fluid portion of the cytoplasm is referred to as endoplasm. Proteins in different cellular compartment s and structures tagged with green fluorescent protein

In recent years, studies have shown that the tumour marker Neuron-specific enolase ( NSE ) is often elevated in CJD cases, however its diagnostic utility is primarily seen when combined with a test for the 14-3-3 protein.

In one third of patients with sporadic CJD, deposits of " prion protein ( scrapie )," PrP < SUP > Sc </ SUP >, can be found in the skeletal muscle and / or the spleen.

* Light roux: The secret to making a good gumbo is pairing the roux with the protein.

Pairing Roux with protein follows the same orthodox philosophy as pairing wine with protein.
