Protein Structure: is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in an amino acid-chain molecule. ... Proteins form by amino acids undergoing condensation reactions, in which the amino acids lose one water molecule per reaction in order to attach to one another with a peptide bond.
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has poor prognosis with frequent relapses and deaths using current standard of care treatments. Metabolic reprograming is now recognized as a fundam...
The arrangement of chromatin inside the nucleus has long been recognized as a key element in genomic stability and an active participant in transcriptional control. With the development and d...
Immunohistochemistry protocols, which utilize antibodies to visualize proteins in tissue sections, have many steps that need optimized to prevent non-specific background effects, artifacts, o...
Ion mobility/mass spectrometry has tremendous potential for metabolomics, lipidomics, and clinical analysis. Ion mobility can resolve compounds unresolved by LC/MS/MS, provide additional stru...
Clathrin mediated endocytosis (CME) at pre-synaptic terminals is functionally coupled to neuro-transmitter release. Like other cytosolic proteins, clathrin is synthesized in cell-bodies and c...
Psychiatric diagnosis is inherently difficult, due to the lack of clear biomarkers or any other objective assessment. Although quantitative, the psychometric scales employed during the psychi...
Structure based drug design is now well established as a highly efficient approach in pharmaceutical research. The approach uses atomic level detail structures of target proteins, most...
