accessory NEF protein in HIV infection Kanokporn Tangthamvanich Department of Microbiology and Immunology University of Otago [Word count: 895] The role of the accessory NEF protein in HIV infection In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection‚ there is one essential virulence protein‚ the Nef protein‚ which is identified as a negative factor due to it having a negative effect on viral replication (1). It performs critical functions in the host during the viral life cycle. The Nef protein is only

FOOD LAB Title Food Lab Abstract The aim of this report is to see if the any of the four food apple sauce‚ carrot juice‚ cracker juice‚ and turkey juice contain protein‚ starch‚ or sugar. Between these four foods two are positive for sugar which are apple sauce and carrot juice. Sugar is an organic molecule of carbohydrate and so is starch. The starch was positive in two of the foods which are cracker juice and carrot juice. Protein is its own organic molecule and only one food tested positive

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They band together in chains to form the stuff from which your life is born. Think of amino acids as Legos for your life. It’s a two-step process: Amino acids get together and form peptides or polypeptides. It is from these groupings that proteins are made. And there’s not just one kind of amino acid. A total of 20 different kinds of amino acids form proteins. The kinds of amino acids determine the shape of the proteins formed. Commonly recognized

claimed is: 1. A method of producing an organic fertilizer by using fish‚ said method comprising the steps of preparing a raw material containing more than 80% of fish heads‚ boiling the raw material to obtain a stock‚ removing solids and oil contents from the stock to obtain stock liquid‚ thereafter treating the stock liquid in a decomposition tank with decomposing enzyme for enzyme decomposition‚ filtering the enzyme-decomposed stock liquid to produce a clarified liquid organic fertilizer‚ and condensing

Protein Synthesis Notes If DNA’s shape is altered it can’t function properly. RNA is more flexible so changing the shape changes the function‚ which is wanted. Any shape of RNA can become another. Three shapes/functions of RNA: -mRNA: messenger (linear_____) -rRNA: ribosomal (large and like a globe) More stable than mRNA. -tRNA: transfer (shaped like t) If you flatten this it becomes mRNA.

Estimation of protein concentration Introduction Protein assays are designed to measure the total protein in a solution. Protein assays are quantitative if the protein to be assayed is available in sufficient quantity such that one is able to use it to create a standard curve. If this cannot be achieved‚ then a standard protein‚ such as albumin‚ may be used for a standard curve with the understanding that the results on the unknown protein are semi-quantitative. Since most proteins are not available

The Isolation‚ purification and identification of Proteins assayed From Bovine Liver Using SDS Gel Electrophoresis‚ Mass Spectroscopy and Western Blotting Abstract The purpose of the experiment was to isolate and recognize varying protein solubilization and assaying methods by using bovine liver protein. The experiment implicated the impact of different types of solvents like ethanol‚ water‚ PBS‚ PBS+1% Triton x-100‚ and PBS+2% SDS on protein solubilization. Bradford and Ghosh/Dumbroff methods

High Protein Diets: Good or Bad? Lose weight while feasting on steak‚ burgers‚ cheese‚ and bacon? All without feeling hungry? What’s not to love? Meat lovers have flocked to high-protein‚ low-carb plans like Atkins‚ Zone‚ Protein Power‚ and Sugar Busters. While these diets can work‚ you need to carefully consider the risks and rewards before deciding if one is right for you. How Much Protein? Most Americans get 12%-18% of their calories from protein. With a high-protein diet‚ it can be much

The Human Personality The human personality takes many forms and actions. Anything from the way a person eats a meal‚ talks‚ laughs‚ drives a car‚ or enters a classroom and takes a seat affects this unique personality. The events taking place inside the body particularly within the brain and nervous system which produce behavior is a mysterious course of action. The human brain with an infinite number of interconnections and billions of nerve cells may well be the most complex structure in our
