protein biochemistry
in protein biochemistry, biochemists specially study proteins as complex polymers. protein biochemistry is the study of the chemical structure of proteins, including individual amino acids, their linkage as well as physical structure of proteins. proteins, especially globular proteins, are three dimensional in nature. proper function of globular proteins is tightly related to their three-dimens...
متن کاملTinkering with translation: protein synthesis in virus-infected cells.
Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites, and their replication requires host cell functions. Although the size, composition, complexity, and functions encoded by their genomes are remarkably diverse, all viruses rely absolutely on the protein synthesis machinery of their host cells. Lacking their own translational apparatus, they must recruit cellular ribosomes in order to translate viral ...
متن کاملTinkering with Tuberculosis
remuneration of the panel doctor, who had the responsibility for the home treatment of tuberculosis, as for other diseases amongst the insured. The remaining capitation sum of 9d. produced an amount so small that to deal with the applications for institutional treatment, in the light of the expectations created in the minds of the insured persons and their friends, led to a tinkering with cases...
متن کاملEvolutionary tinkering with transposable elements.
I t was almost 30 years ago when François Jacob declared that evolutionary innovation (the emergence of novel form and function over time) occurred primarily via a process of ‘‘tinkering’’ (1). By tinkering, Jacob essentially meant the creation of novelty through random combinations of preexisting forms. Two fundamental and countervailing notions are implicit in this view of evolution: optimali...
متن کاملBiochemistry of protein prenylation.
Covalent modification by isoprenoid lipids (prenylation) is now recognized as a mechanism to promote membrane interactions and biological activities of a variety of cellular proteins. Both the 15-carbon farnesyl and 20-carbon geranylgeranyl isoprenoids are involved in these modifications, which occur on carboxyl-terminal cysteine residues of proteins (Fig. 1). Known prenylated proteins include ...
