Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Vitellogenin (vtg) was isolated from greenback flounder (Rhombosolea tapirina), rainbow trout, (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) plasma. The molecular weight of each native molecule, as determined by gel filtration, was 540, 383 and 557 kD respectively. With SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, rainbow trout vtg dissociated into 1 major subunit (~154 kD), and Atlantic salmo...

MB&B103 Copernicus, Darwin, and the Human Genome Project Much of art and philosophy is inspired by the question: What does it mean to be human? The project of science has provided rational explanations of human identity that threaten our self-perception as special beings--beginning with the Copernican revolution and discoveries about our unspecial place in the universe. In this course, we will ...
