    Crystal structure allows researchers to understand the functions of any compound. In biochemistry, structure dictates function. With the use of crystal structure analysis, scientists have a better way of analyzing specific proteins or enzymes and their function in our body. Observation of the human mitochondrial chaperonin is important because it assists in folding of mitochondrial proteins that allow for the production of energy in the cell. It also participates in specific process like apoptosis

    2002; Mund, 2003]. It is believe that BH3-only proteins interfere with the fine-tuned balance of homo- or hetero-oligomerization between pro-apoptotic multidomains (eg., Bax/Bak) and anti-apoptotic members (eg., Bcl-2/Bcl-XL) (Figure 3). In general, oligomers of Bak, Bax, and Bok induce PMT, either by forming channels by themselves or by interacting with components of the PMT [Antonsson, 2000]. Bad can also heterodimerize

    Alzheimer’s disease Detected in an Earlier Stage The biological field is in constant investigation and there are new findings all the time. Science is so exciting that writers, educators and publishers want to make it available and understandable to everyone. Being this the case, people generate easy accessible websites with the intention to inspire others to acquire knowledge of what’s new in science, so they include the new findings, most of the time from journal reports of PhD students or a team

    around nerve cell. Beta-amyloid is chemically “stinky” and builds up into plaques. For a long time scientist thought that plaques might cause all of the damage to neurons that is seen in the Alzheimer disease. But now many scientists think that oligomers may be a major culprit. The other group also thinks that plaques might be a late stage of attempt by brain to get this harmful beta-amyloid away from neurons. Neurofibrillary Tangles The second imported, tangles are abnormal collections of twisted

    Prion diseases or transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) are a family of rare progressive neurodegenerative disorders that affect both humans and animals. They are distinguished by long incubation periods, characteristic spongiform changes associated with neuronal loss, and a failure to induce inflammatory response. The proteinaceous infectious particles, prion was identified by an American neurologist Stanley B. Prusiner and colleagues in 1982derived from the words protein and infection

    1.1 Innate immunity The innate immunity provides an early phase of defence mechanism against intruding microorganisms, mediated by phagocytes such as macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs), having the ability to distinguish between self and non-self (pathogens). The innate immune system recognises microorganisms by germ-line encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), expressed on all types of cells. The metabolic products generated by microbial pathogens rather than the host allow the immune system

    An adult stem cell’s niche is responsible for the preservation of the stem cell’s undifferentiated state through either intrinsic or extrinsic expression of specific proteins. Hair follicle stem cells are responsible for not only its self-renewal but also in the production of rapidly multiplying cells. The stem cells of the hair follicle are for temporary increase in cells, and are created by the differentiation of hair follicle stem cells. The focus of this essay will be to analyze a specific

    which is an oxidizing specie. The glutathione oxidizes a thiol 25 angstroms from the synergist site, which along these lines causes a drop in reactant action. Furthermore, the compound demonstrates no positive cooperativity, regardless of being an oligomer. Indeed, energy information really demonstrate that the compound displays negative cooperativity. Along these lines the catalysis is profoundly compartmentalized inside of every subunit and tying causes minimal distal change of the chemicals structure
