Nandini Pharasi, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Even with allosteric protein regulation’s relevance in biology, investigations and computations are hampered by the complexity of the process. Natural selection can influence the development of two or more species. Cell division, energy provision, and cell fate determination depend on the action of proteins on a molecular level. […]
Akash Singh, Banaras Hindu University Researchers at Ruhr-Universität Bochum have characterized a new reverse optogenetic tool using zebrafish, a protein that can be controlled by light. A zebrafish opsin—a protein that occurs in the brain and eyes—was introduced into the brain of a mouse to study how it affects the brain. An optogenetic tool can […]
Agrima Bhatt, Rajasthan University Drugs identifying cancer genes: To understand drug-target interaction, let’s first cover our bases to know what is meant by receptor and a ligand. Receptors are defined as the macromolecules present either on the cell surface or in the cytoplasm which is involved in the cell interaction through signalling. Molecules like drugs, […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Rheumatoid Arthritis and osteoporosis: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease that mostly occurs in synovial joints. Its symptoms are local bone loss depicted by juxta-articular osteoporosis, and systemic bone loss depicted by generalized osteoporosis. Among these two symptoms, generalized osteoporosis is more common in patients with RA […]
