Background SpyTag and SpyCatcher are peptides which can associate via a spontaneous amide bond. Because of this, they can be fused to proteins of interest as tags to cause the proteins to bind. The…
Humans and chimpanzees are related and thus have a most recent common ancestor. Of course pinning down this precise point is essentially impossible, so I'm interested in close ancestors of this most
As I know Dopamine is almost exclusively produced via metabotropic receptors, is it possible for a nicotinic ACH receptor to influence a dopamineric neuron? Can a nicotinic ACH receptor cause a
I want to determine if there is horizontal gene transfer between two genomes, in particular I was to use the parametric methods described in wikipedia since I would most likely struggle to understa…
Hanging from a bar causes my bicep to feel much harder than when simply holding my arm straight above my head relaxed, without a bar. This was slightly surprising to me: I used to assume that since…
Agricultural Biotechnology and Gene TherapyWe will discuss some general background, on mutations and recombination. This will lead to work on genetically modified plants and animals -- and gene therapy for humans.We began to talk about gene modification. We started with the natural processes of mutation and recombinatBird FluThe current news on bird flu is important because it is possible for very serious human flu viruses to develop from bird flu viruses.
