Gene overexpression: uses, mechanisms, and interpretation.
The classical genetic approach for exploring biological pathways typically begins by identifying mutations that cause a phenotype of interest. Overexpression or misexpression of a wild-type gene product, however, can also cause mutant phenotypes, providing geneticists with an alternative yet powerful tool to identify pathway components that might remain undetected using traditional loss-of-func...
متن کاملMechanisms and clinical uses of capsaicin.
Capsaicin is the active ingredient of chili peppers and gives them the characteristic pungent flavor. Understanding the actions of capsaicin led to the discovery of its receptor, transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily member 1 (TRPV1). This receptor is found on key sensory afferents, and so the use of capsaicin to selectively activate pain afferents has been studied in animal and huma...
متن کاملMechanisms and uses of hydrogen exchange.
Recent work has largely completed our understanding of the hydrogen-exchange chemistry of unstructured proteins and nucleic acids. Some of the high-energy structural fluctuations that determine the hydrogen-exchange behavior of native macromolecules have been explained; others remain elusive. A growing number of applications are exploiting hydrogen-exchange behavior to study difficult molecular...
متن کاملTreat-to-target trials: uses, interpretation and review of concepts
Treat-to-target trial designs compare investigational insulins with a standard insulin. Treat-to-target trials force-titrate insulin dosages to achieve a prespecified treatment goal. With comparable glycaemic control, comparisons of safety endpoints such as hypoglycaemia can be made to establish the risk-benefit profile of the new insulin. Glargine versus NPH showed comparable A1C reductions; h...
متن کاملTHE GENE CLONING, OVEREXPRESSION, PURIFICATION, AND CHARACTERIZATION OF DIBENZOTHIOPHENE MONOOXYGENASE AND DESULFINASE FROM GORDONIA ALKANIVORANS RIPI90A
The biodesulfurization (BDS) of sulfur compounds in fossil fuels is a process to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions that cause environmental pollution. Gordonia alkanivorans RIPI90A is able to convert dibenzothiophene, an organic sulfur compound in petroleum, to 2-hydroxybiphenyl (2-HBP) in 4S pathway. In this study, (DBT), DszA and DszB, DBT sulfone monooxygenase, and desulfinase were respectivel...
