Optical Rotatory Dispersion (ORD) and Circular Dichroism (CD) are two important techniques widely used in the study of biomolecules, particularly the structure of proteins and nucleic acids. These techniques are based on the interaction of molecules with light, specifically how the molecules affect plane-polarized light that passes through them.Optical Rotatory Dispersion1. FundamentalsORD is ...
The steady march of progress looks different to all, but in his doctoral dissertation Sam Bickley, Ph.D., measured the effect that a certain type of progress is having on tidal creeks. Rapid development along coastal areas, particularly residential and suburban expansion, can have significant implications for the surrounding environment. While existing protections and conservation efforts can ...
Previously, it was thought that glial cells, which support neuronal activity, metabolize most of the glucose in the brain. However, by using induced pluripotent stem cells, the researchers found that neurons were able to take up glucose and process it into smaller metabolites. In mice, normal function of neurons depends on glycolysis. The findings could help develop new treatments for ...
Recently, a research paper published in Nat Commun entitled "Gut microbiome of the largest living rodent harbors unprecedented enzymatic systems to degrade plant polysaccharides" specifically studied the enzymatic strategies and metabolic pathways used by dolphins to decompose their microbial symbiotic communities of dietary fiber. ...
At high exposure concentration gene expression was mainly affected by inhibiting chitinase activity, inducing an oxidative stress response, and stimulating energy metabolism. KEGG pathway analysis, furthermore, implied that the high concentration may have caused impaired light sensitivity, angiogenesis, olfactory perception, learning and memory. ...
The aim of this work is to analyse exergetically the glucose metabolism, which involves the steps of Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle and the Oxidative Phosphorylation. In order to achieve these goals, a methodology for the exergetic analysis of metabolism is presented. The exergy value of the metabolic compounds takes into account the compounds concentration in the environment, ionic dissociations, metal ...
