Some recombinant proteins like human DNaseI and Factor VIII can only currently be made in pharmacologically active forms using mammalian cell culture.
Discuss how transgenic plant technology can be used to generate new crop varieties that would not be possible via conventional plant breeding.
Describe how the crelox system can be used to remove antibiotic resistance genes from transgenic plants.
How would you ensure that the protein was produced in milk and not other tissues
It is necessary to have extra source of CO2 i.e. from a nuclear reactor or factory chimney to produce bio-fuel by microalgae or is it able to do it with the normal CO2 density in the atmosphere?
I'm very interested in the "systems biology" field and I'm searching good (innovative) and recent (max 3-4 years old) articles about this subject, but unfortunately I've found my research more diffi
You are given a test tube with 1 ml of a recombinant protein that your colleague has just purified in the lab using affinity purification. How would you attempt to determine the concentration and pu
The Ambion site states that RNAseZap destroys RNAse activity on contact, but they also instruct to rinse with water twice after wiping RNAseZap on the surface being cleaned.
I am working with RNA samples, and I'm trying to be very careful about RNAse contamination.
With the osmolarity of the average vertebrate being around 300mOsml, and salt water having an osmolarity of 1000mOsml
I'm experimenting with a consumer-grade ElectroEncephaloGram (EEG) sensor and have created the image below using the device. Because the sensor on the device does not use a suction cup, there are a
If a person contracts a virus, viral conjunctivitis for example, is it possible for the individual to become "reinfected" with the exact same strain of the virus once the person has it treated and t
Is it alright to use RGB light panels in a room instead of the usual lighting
I understand multiple origin bubbles; DNA polymerase only synthesizes DNA from 5' to 3' and all that. But what I don't understand is why it has to be in fragments. Yes, DNA is anti parallel, and so
Create a list of the sequence of events that take place from the conduction of an action potential in a motor neuron axon to the completion of a muscle fiber twitch contraction elicited by that acti
Almost all organs in the human body have a rather large threshold within which the organ or tissue is capable of repairing itself using materials supplied by the body, whether it's made from organic
Did all life arise from 1 cell and only happen ONCE? If so what is the evidence?Is primordial ooze a possibility?
Stress echocardiography means a pair of cardiac ultrasound imaging examinations, before and after exercise. I assume that coronary blood flow is increased after exercise.
An interesting tidbit floating around the internet these days is that Dr. Duncan MacDougall apparently weighed people shortly before and after death, and found an average of a 21 gram discrepancy, t
Which cell types are the largest? the smallest? what would be the advantage of a smaller cell? (fibroblast,Macrophage,keratinocytes, lymphocytes).
Slow worms are considered lizards as opposed to snakes, both are reptiles. Now I get that there are traits that distinguish them (eye lids, ears ...). But snake species themselves vary already quite
Calculate the maximum rate of translation by a ribosome in a bacterial cell, provided in units of amino acids per second, so that the ribosome doesn't overtake an RNA polymerase that is transcribing
Natural selection is a central tenet of evolution. However, most biologists seem determined to prevent the extinction of the species that have been selected against.
The Kidd blood group in primates is inherited as a single gene with two codominant alleles (Jka and Jkb). We would like to verify that this locus actually follows simple Mendelian inheritance with c
