Sentences with phrase «yeast cells measure»

A research group at the Buchmann Institute for Molecular Life Sciences (BMLS) of Goethe University in Frankfurt, together with colleagues at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics, has now discovered how yeast cells measure the availability of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids in foodstuffs and adapt their production of membrane lipids to it.

Morrison explains Kaivac's SystemSure Plus measures adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is an energy molecule found in all animal, plant, bacterial, yeast and mold cells, all of which should be significantly reduced after cleaning.

In order to describe the mechanism of a membrane sensor which measures the degree of lipid saturation in the yeast cell, the researchers used genetic and biochemical methods and simulated the motions and underlying forces of membrane lipids over a period of a few milliseconds by means of extensive molecular dynamic simulations.

For yeast, reproduction is life, so both methods measure a yeast cell's life span by the number of progeny it generates, rather than how long it remains metabolically active.

By adding measured amounts of anhydrotetracycline (ATc) to a population of genetically modified yeast cells, scientists at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center were able to precisely control the production of green fluorescent protein.

In their study, the team working with Zavolan exposed yeast cells to different stress conditions, measured their lifespan, protein synthesis rates and Gcn4 expression.
