Proteins provide a wide array of functions for cells, as we’ve discussed in previous articles, and as such pose a challenge for accurately describing their functions and interactions on the whole. This accounts for issues like the protein folding problem and the lack of other predictions of proteins. As it turns out, our popular gene […]
Read More CRISPR Identifies LSD1 Protein InteractionFossils are the remains of living organisms which are preserved by very specific conditions and covered by layers of sediment, mud, or tar. As it turns out, ice can encapsulate and protect the remains of animals too though not to the same degree. Typically when cells freeze they undergo lysis which causes their cell membranes […]
Read More Mammoth Protein Studies In Mice CellsCells make use of tiny machinery known as proteins for different vital processes. They depend on these strings of amino acids for everything from signaling, to regulation, and to catalysis. Since there are countless processes cells are responsible for to keep the organism alive and functional, one would imagine there are an equally immense number […]
Read More Discovery of Hidden Alternative ProteinsOxygen comes from land plants like trees and shrubs but aquatic organisms like phytoplankton and algae. Despite generating a majority of new chemical energy for organisms across the globe through the crucial process known as photosynthesis, it is not entirely understood. To find all the pieces involved in photosynthesis a lot of genetic analysis needs […]
Read More Algae Genome Helps Explain PhotosynthesisCRISPR is one of the biggest scientific advancements in recent years due to the potential it represents. As a gene editing tool it stands to benefit science and technology from many different points. The acronym stands for clustered regularly interspaced short palendromic repeats which refers to how the enzyme system works. It works mainly through […]
