In chemistry, the cage effect [1] (also known as geminate recombination [2]) describes how the properties of a molecule are affected by its surroundings. First introduced by James Franck and Eugene Rabinowitch [ 3 ] [ 4 ] in 1934, the cage effect suggests that instead of acting as an individual particle, molecules in solvent are more accurately ...
The tag frequency can be used to report on transcription of the gene that the tag came from. [1] Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) is a transcriptomic technique used by molecular biologists to produce a snapshot of the messenger RNA population in a sample of interest in the form of small tags that correspond to fragments of those ...
Gram-negative bacteria produce high levels of monounsaturated fatty acids (e.g. 16:1 omega-7 and 18:1 omega-9) during active metabolism but convert much of the unsaturated fatty acid composition to cyclopropane fatty acids (e.g. 17:0 cyclopropane and 19:0 cyclopropane) when metabolism and cell division slow due to shortage of nutrition or other ...
The phase of the Moon does not influence fertility, cause a fluctuation in crime, or affect the stock market. There is no correlation between the lunar cycle and human biology or behavior. However, the increased amount of illumination during the full moon may account for increased epileptic episodes, motorcycle accidents, or sleep disorders.
He was a science advisor for the seafood and omega 3 supplement company Vital Choice. [11] He held a position as director at the Omega Protein Corporation [12] that provides omega-3 rich fish oil for the supplement industry. [13] A company that he also held shares in. [14]
Omega oxidation (ω-oxidation) is a process of fatty acid metabolism in some species of animals. It is an alternative pathway to beta oxidation that, instead of involving the β carbon, involves the oxidation of the ω carbon (the carbon most distant from the carboxyl group of the fatty acid). The process is normally a minor catabolic pathway ...
By constructing different combinations of 5-sided and 6-sided rings, vesicles of different sizes may assemble. The smallest clathrin cage commonly imaged, called a mini-coat, has 12 pentagons and only two hexagons. Even smaller cages with zero hexagons probably do not form from the native protein, because the feet of the triskelia are too bulky ...
Plasmalogens are found in numerous human tissues, with particular enrichment in the nervous, immune, and cardiovascular systems. [1] [2] [3] In human heart tissue, nearly 30–40% of choline glycerophospholipids are plasmalogens.
