Describe what molecular, anatomical, and physiological biomarkers are, using examples to support your description. Describe, in detail, a successful use of a single biomarker, indicating how it is measured and used to help identify a particular disease or condition. ( 400 words)
Advanced Cell and Molecular Biology. Protein Folding. Describe protein folding and processing (include in your answer action of chaperones and a disease that results from a defect in protein folding) (30 marks) Introduce protein synthesis-diversity of proteins and relate it to post modification of proteins Protein folding-molecules involved-structure and function (chaperones-PDI, PPI, chaperonins, Hsp70). Explain […]
Using AN example from either Biofuels, Prebiotics or Detergents, explain how enzyme properties can be modified to generate products of societal value.
Research aims, objectives and hypothesis. Non-invasive ways to measure immunocompetence of wild fish. The immune system has several specialised bodies to identify and respond to any microbe that enters the host with cells and molecules’ motivation in the bloodstream. Unresponsiveness causes immunodeficiency, while overreacting to foreign microbes causes autoimmunity tissue harm. It is known that […]
Description Lung cancer, statistics, mutations: Kras/Braf/EGFR, LKB1, p53 etc. in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), treatment strategies and current ongoing clinical trials and setbacks. mTOR/MEK/ERK signaling pathway, and autophagy signaling pathway and their upregulation in cancer, specifically lung and pancreatic cancer. Role of autophagy in Kras driven NSCLC and recent studies for using autophagy inhibitors […]
Summarize 3 articles, describe their strengths and weaknesses, describe which article is the strongest. Format of the paper 1) For the first paragraph, briefly introduce which three papers you read and what they were about (e.g. Main questions/topics) 2) Write a paragraph for each paper to explain their main claim(s) and the data they use […]
What is carbon? What’s the difference between plants and animals when it comes to Carbon? When Jim refers to “one of the key balancing acts of life on Earth”, what is he referring to? What are two examples of carbon-based fuel that we use to power industry? What happens to the excess carbon after carbon-based fuels […]
Role of Neuropeptides in Appetite Regulation. What are the molecules that control appetite? How do the orexins, leptin and ghrelin work together to control appetite? Which cells are responsible for producing these molecules and what are the molecular pathways that are activated? Identify the targets and how the signaling pathways are regulated. Which molecules oppose […]
