Collecting the Numbers We can easily measure some things in biology yet struggle to measure others. Thanks to decades of progress in molecular sequencing technologies, it is simple to read out the order of nucleotides in a DNA sequence, for example, or to quantify messenger RNAs as they are made by a cell.
But now, by studying DNA extracted from microbes in the blood of almost 10,000 healthy people, this paper shows that there is no such thing. Read Transcription factors bind to DNA and control gene expression. They tend to “group up” in cells. Molecular Systems Biology. Nature Microbiology. Meeussen J.V.W.
The tools in this kit fall into a few broad categories: understanding protein structures and their functional significance, identifying ligands that bind into functionally significant pockets, and developing assays that confirm target engagement along with demonstrating the anticipated impact on cellbiology.
2/ Live Long and Prosper, Lil’ Yeasty Boys Yeast cells usually live for about one week. Yeast die for two reasons: Either their nucleolus (where the DNA is kept) degrades and dies, or their mitochondria whimpers out and they stop making energy. kilobases” of DNA into a plant genome.

.” This technology could be used to design protein therapeutics that can bind to, and “shut down,” harmful or misfolded proteins in living cells. Thousands of transcription factors — proteins that bind DNA and control gene expression — were studied in human cells. Nature CellBiology.
DNA, proteins, polysaccharides, etc.). Cells require energy for this process. 2 Organisms are categorised based on their anabolism and according to the source used by cells to build-up molecules. Further, the following blog post discusses ROS detection in general. nucleotides, monosaccharides, etc.), 25 (5): 807–30.
As such, it has been proposed that inhibiting CDK7 would provide a potent means of inhibiting cell cycle progression, which may be especially relevant given that there is compelling evidence from gene knockout studies in mice for lack of an absolute requirement for CDK2, CDK4 and CDK6 for the cell cycle at least in most cell types (M alumbres et al.,
During this process, the cells’ genomes ditch their methyl groups, an important epigenetic mark. Erasing methyl groups on DNA is necessary for normal egg and sperm development. Reaching the oogonia stage marked an impressive achievement in germ cellbiology, because previous methods only went up to the PGC stage.
1 One rarely pauses to ponder how so much DNA — let alone sugar, proteins, and everything else — can fit inside such a small vessel. Biochemistry textbooks depict cells as spacious places, where molecules float in secluded harmony. Without mathematics, I learned, biology is naked; we can only comprehend it at arm's length.
Short DNA strands were discovered that can specifically and tightly bind to zinc and cadmium ions. Perhaps there is now a way to use DNA to extract metals: You could fuse the DNA strands to an antibody, coat them onto electronics, and then use a column to isolate the DNA:metal compounds?
