siRNAs are very small molecules that carry genetic information to cells, but unlike DNA that can turn genes on, siRNA interferes with
the production of particular proteins and can turn cancer genes off.
Friedman's group was able to track down the mutation in the obese mice and found that it blocked
production of a particular protein hormone, which they named leptin.
Not exact matches
In the past year, biologists have been using the natural form
of GFP to track the
production of individual
proteins or the activity
of particular genes in living cells.
An international group
of researchers led by Professor Christoph Hess from the Department
of Biomedicine at the University
of Basel and University Hospital Basel have now found a structure that accounts for the rapid immunologic memory
of particular immune cells (CD8 + memory T cells): these important memory cells form multiple connections between mitochondria — the powerhouses
of cells — and the endoplasmic reticulum, the site
of protein production.
He also found ways to coax microbes into producing abundant copies
of a
particular protein, and he invented powerful chemical switches that allowed him to trigger
protein production.
By inhibiting the activity
of a
particular component
of the human TREX complex, UAP56, it prevents the common viral
protein from taking advantage
of its protective effect, thereby inhibiting virus replication and
production of infectious particles.
Creatine's ability to increase muscular hypertrophy is derived largely from the fact that it is able to trigger creation
of new muscle cells, increase
protein synthesis in the muscles and decrease the
production of myostatin which depletes muscle tissue, while at the same time increase the release
of particular hormones that promote muscle building like IGF - 1 (Insulin Growth - like Factor) and testosterone.
In
particular, reductions in the
production of healthy stomach hydrochloric acid vital for digestion
of protein foods and its preparation for amino acid absorption.
In
particular, hemp
protein is a quality source
of the amino acids — arginine and histidine; along with the sulfur - containing amino acids methionine and cysteine — needed in the
production of vital enzymes.
Areas
of particular expertise include
protein purification, characterization, formulation, process development, analytical development and
production.
