    RESULTS Isolation of BbovM17LAP gene The BbM17LAP gene available in GenBank (accession no. XP_001609968) was accessed through the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), and its sequence was retrieved for further analysis. The genomic DNA of BbM17LAP was found in chromosome 2, extending between 1,045,409 bp and 1,047,164 bp of the genome. The ORF of the corresponding mRNA encoding BbM17LAP consists of 1,578 bp. Alignment of the mRNA sequence with genomic DNA using Genetyx revealed that

    and package DNA in units called nucleosome. There are four core histones known as H2A, H2B, H3, and H4. Core histones can be paired up with each other to form H2A-H2B dimers and two copies of each H3 and H4 histones can paired up to form a H3-H4 tetramer. The histone octamer is form when a H3-H4 tetramer is combined with 2 H2A-H2B dimers. Aside from the four core histone proteins, there is also histone H1 and H5. Histone H1 serve as a linker protein and keep the piece of DNA that is wrapped around

    There are many symptoms of NF1 such as, Neurofibromas that are common tumors in NF that develop on or just under the skin but can appear deeper in the body, also neurofibromas are composed of nervous system tissue and fibrous tissue. However lisch nodules are clumps of pigment in the iris, and can confirm a case of NF. Most serious symptoms of NF are shown at birth or early in life, one of these symptoms is known as scoliosis. Scoliosis is curvature of the spine. Often children with NF also have

    testing of the JAK2 mutation (Mayoclinic, 2017). When the body is forming and breaking down clots, proteins called D-dimers are released which can be detected with a blood test. The healthcare provider can order this specific test if the patient is experiencing symptoms of DVT or PE. If the patient is presented with a high probability of PE based on clinical assessment or a positive D-dimer test, a spiral computed tomography (spiral CT) can be ordered. Spiral CT uses a combination of x-rays and computer

    Introduction: GMO, genetically modified organisms, are organisms that are used for food sources and are manipulated by biotechnology, most often by gene transfer (Ahmed, 2002). Most agricultural food sources such as fruits, vegetables, or any other mass-produced crops are known examples of GMO (Owens, 2000). Many question the ethics or reasoning behind the production of GMOs due to its interference with naturally bound events but biotechnological gene transfer is vastly beneficial because it leads

    toxic and irritant, and are being investigated for their role as sensitizers and carcinogens (36). Generally the human insulin monomers may assemble into insulin dimer and insulin hexamer which is more stable than that of dimeric form. Regarding the main function of insulin which is regulating the uptake of glucose, both insulin dimer and hexamer are inactive in biological environment. However they are much more stable from conformational viewpoint

    the formation of several hydrogen bonds, as illustrated in figure 1. The enzyme glutaminase resides inside the mitochondria as a homodimer, in which state it is inactive. Once it gets activated, two dimers combine to form the catalytically active homotetramer. (2) The interface between the two dimers consists of two symmetrical alpha helices that interact by stacking between the residues Asp391 and Lys401. The tetramerization causes the gating loop to open and allows the substrate glutamine to bind

    Immunoglobulins (Ig) are proteins that are utilized by the immune system to recognize and destroy foreign entities such as viruses and bacteria. They are created by a type of white blood cell called plasma cells. Immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies, recognize special indicators on the entities which are called antigens. When the immune system recognizes a foreign substance in the body, it sends antibodies to attack them. Antigens have specific structures that are recognized by certain antibodies

    Tannase’s protein purification The cloning, expression, and purification of tannase enzyme obtained from bacterium L. plantarum were conducted as described (Wu et al., 2013). Tannase’s protein crystallization, heavy-metal derived crystals preparation and diffraction pattern collection By using sitting drop vapor diffusion method, the initial apo form of tannase enzyme was crystallized. Then, the initial tannase crystal formed was purified and enlarged by using micro-seeding method (Wu et al., 2013)

    The Zika virus affects the integumentary system. The Integumentary system has many parts to it here are some. The nerve, blood vessels, sweat droplet, sweat gland, fat, dermis, epidermis, oil gland, and hair. The epidermis is always running in a cycle inside the cell. To keep your integumentary system healthy you should wash your skin everyday. Put sunscreen on if you go outside for longer than 15 minutes. If you go out in the sun too long without sunscreen you will get a sunburn, and then later
