Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is commonly known as mad cow disease. This is a neurodegenerative disease that causes spongy deterioration of the brain and spinal cord in cattle. The neurodegeneration is slow‚ progressive and fatal. The ultimate fate of a cow infected with this disease is most likely death. This disease is easily transmitted and is spread through ingesting an infected cow’s nervous tissue. When cows are slaughtered portions of the meat are used for either people food or for

view on women‚ courtship‚ and marriage differed immensely from today’s views. In the nineteenth century‚ women were held to a higher and stricter standard. Women couldn’t talk to men without being introduced‚ they couldn’t leave the home without a chaperone‚ they had to look their absolute best‚ and many more restrictions. Back then‚ a woman’s main goal or career was to get married and their role in society was within the home. In order to reach that goal‚ girls were trained‚ during their childhood

adaptation‚ it allows the prevention of cell death. There are three types of autophagy: macroautophagy‚ microautophagy‚ and chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). They all are involved in the degradation of cytosolic constituents in the lysosome. Through selective and non-selective mechanisms‚ macroautophagy and microautophagy are able to fuse with large cellular structures whereas chaperone-mediated autophagy on the other hand‚ has targeted

Threonine is an essential amino acid that is classified as slightly polar due to its hydroxyl group and the ability to easily donate a hydrogen atom. This as well makes it hydrophilic and often will saturate the outer region of a water soluble protein. They hydroxyl side chain can undergo glycosylation by adding saccharides and phosphorylation by adding phosphate through the actions of threonine kinase (New World Encyclopedia‚ 2015). B.

How do protein chaperones contribute to BSE? A prion acts as a chaperone and because it has been misfolded‚ when it bumps into normal proteins‚ the normal proteins then become infected and continue the misfolding process. These old and new prions aggregate on the sheath of a nerve cell causing
