Most often when people think of proteins, we do not think of them as being harmful or infectious agents. In fact we are generally taught that proteins are essential for organisms to function and to function correctly. However, there are indeed proteins that one could consider to be killer proteins. These proteins are called prions. Prions are a particularly interesting type of protein just in the fact that they have the ability to misfold on their own and also to become infectious agents. In simplest

Prion Protein (PRNP) is encoded by a gene, which contains a highly unstable region of five tandem octapeptide repeats. An octapeptide repeat is a fragment from the protein which is composed of eight amino acids joined by peptide bonds, repeatedly copied along the amino acid chain. Within PRNP; these are tandem meaning that the octapeptide sequences are in such an arrangement that they are lined up one behind the other (Mastrianni, 2009). Prion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies

ligand binding was introduce into this course. What is ligand binding? It is a smaller molecule that bind to a larger molecule, called a substrate (Berger). Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a protein that derive from cow that has a large molecular weight up to 66,436 Da. Phenol red dye has a molecular weight of 354.88 Da, and is binding to bovine serum albumin at pH 4, pH 6, pH 8, and pH 10, and our target was to determine the optimal pH. The optimal pH ranging between 3 to 5, and that it will appear

B) Similar disease in human C) This essay will discuss possible causes, effects, and treatment for this disease. II] Causes Transmission from animal to human. Transmission from human

It has been two days since the procedure. It is the year 2613, and the human race has finally created a way to eliminate the need for sleep. Diran and his coworkers, together numbering around fifty, were the first humans to receive the procedure, and they have accomplished so much. Their workplace is home to the highest of medical technologies, solving the world of all its' problems. Now that they have all had the procedure, they no longer need to sleep and have come up with cures to many diseases

Despite some speculation of scientific findings in regards to prion conversion, research continues. The prion disease, unlike other infectious diseases such as viruses or bacteria, cannot be diagnosed using PCR, cell culture assays, or serology attributable to lack of nucleic acids, which are not recognized by normal host immune responses. Also, owing to uneven distribution throughout the body, finding a tool that can be used on the central nervous system may be easier said than done (25). The

Cause and Effect Essay - Factory Farms Cause Sickness and Pollution There is little doubt that animals raised on small-scale diverse farms are apt to be healthier. When allowed to range freely, particularly in organically maintained yards and pastures, they receive more exercise, their diet is more varied and they are exposed to commensal bacteria that help exclude, and build resistance to, harmful pathogens. Some organic practitioners also argue that free-ranging animals actively seek

Mad Cow Disease Bovine spongiform encephalophathy ( BSE), which is mainly known as mad cow disease has infected the society and has put the lives of individuals at risk. This was very frightening to the people that ate meat during that time. The terrified people would not even want to eat hamburgers at MacDonald, steak at restaurant and much more. What also

virtually disappeared (Prusiner). The Animal Diseases: Prion diseases are widespread in other animals as well (prionSP). Scrapie, for example, is a rare endemic brain disease that occurs in sheep and goats. Transmissible mink encephalopathy (TME), Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, more commonly referred to as "mad cow disease"), Feline spongiform encephalopathy (FSE), and spongiform encephalopathy in other species are all believed to be caused by ingesting material contaminated with scrapie and/or
