  2. Promoter (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promoter_(genetics)

    A promoter is induced in response to changes in abundance or conformation of regulatory proteins in a cell, which enable activating transcription factors to recruit RNA polymerase. [4] [5] Given the short sequences of most promoter elements, promoters can rapidly evolve from random sequences.

  3. Structuralism (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structuralism_(psychology)

    Edward B. Titchener is credited for the theory of structuralism. It is considered to be the first "school" of psychology. [3] [4] Because he was a student of Wilhelm Wundt at the University of Leipzig, Titchener's ideas on how the mind worked were heavily influenced by Wundt's theory of voluntarism and his ideas of association and apperception (the passive and active combinations of elements ...

  4. Initiator element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiator_element

    The Inr element for core promoters was found to be more prevalent than the TATA box in eukaryotic promoter domains. [9] In a study of 1800+ distinct human promoter sequences it was found that 49% contain the Inr element while 21.8% contain the TATA box. [9] Out of those sequences with the TATA box, 62% contained the Inr element as well.

  5. Promoter activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promoter_activity

    Promoter activity is a term that encompasses several meanings around the process of gene expression from regulatory sequences —promoters [2] and enhancers. [3] Gene expression has been commonly characterized as a measure of how much, how fast, when and where this process happens. [ 4 ]

  6. Enhancer (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhancer_(genetics)

    Several cell function specific transcription factors (there are about 1,600 transcription factors in a human cell [35]) generally bind to specific motifs on an enhancer [36] and a small combination of these enhancer-bound transcription factors, when brought close to a promoter by a DNA loop, govern level of transcription of the target gene.

  7. Eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1 alpha 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryotic_translation...

    Elongation factor 1-alpha 1 (eEF1a1) is a translation elongation protein, expressed across eukaryotes.In humans, it is encoded by the EEF1A1 gene. [5] [6]This gene encodes an isoform of the alpha subunit of the elongation factor-1 complex, which is responsible for the enzymatic delivery of aminoacyl tRNAs to the ribosome.

  8. Evolutionary developmental psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_developmental...

    Wilhelm T. Preyer, a pioneer of child psychology, was heavily inspired by Darwin's work and approached the mental development of children from an evolutionary perspective. [14] However, evolutionary theory has had a limited impact on developmental psychology as a whole, [5] and some authors argue that even its early influence was minimal. [15]

  9. Physiological psychology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiological_psychology

    Industrial and organizational psychology focuses on the corporate world to help the function of the work flow for organizations and their relationships with employees. This helps increase job satisfaction and work goals by using surveys and reinforcement with a reward system between employee and employer.
