Protein structure prediction: inroads to biology.
In recent years, there has been significant progress in the ability to predict the three-dimensional structure of proteins from their amino acid sequence. Progress has been due to new methods to extract the growing amount of information in sequence and structure databases and improved computational descriptions of protein energetics. This review summarizes recent advances in these areas and des...
متن کاملFIAU: From reporter gene imaging to imaging of bacterial proliferation.
The radioiodinated thymidine analogue, FIAU, is a tracer that has been developed for reporter gene, for cells that were transfected with herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase, HSV-TK. FIAU is also a specific substrate of bacterial TK due to the homology between viral and bacterial TK. In this issue of AJNMMI (http://www.ajnmmi.us), Pullamb-hatla et al. reported that the accumulation of (125)I-F...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Reporter Gene Imaging
Molecular imaging has undergone an explosive advancement in recent years, due to the tremendous research efforts made to understand and visualize biological processes. Molecular imaging by definition assesses cellular and molecular processes in living subjects, with the targets of following metabolic, genomic, and proteomic events. Furthermore, reporter gene imaging plays a central role in this...
متن کاملReporter Gene Imaging in Therapy and Diagnosis
Noninvasive molecular imaging using reporter genes is a relatively recent field in biomedical imaging that holds great promises for disease diagnosis and therapy. As modern medicine is moving towards personalized medicine, targeted biomolecule based therapies is gaining popularity that requires careful and systematic validation. Reporter genes have emerged as important generalizable tools to ov...
متن کاملNew inroads to development.
The 2006 symposium of the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe, Japan, was entitled ‘Logic of development: new strategies and concepts’. The purpose of the meeting was to uncover how our understanding of the logic of developmental processes is changing in the light of novel techniques and strategies. The speakers provided a comprehensive overview of diverse topics, such as the power o...
