  4. 3. Structure and function of a bacterial redox sensor.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Marwaa Ahmad; [2016]
    Keywords : Rex protein; Microscale thermophoresis MST ; dissociation constant Kd ; protein science; proteinvetenskap; Biology and Life Sciences; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Gram-positive bacteria e.g. Streptomyces coelicolor [8], Bacillus subtilis [43] and Staphylococcus aureus [40] contain a novel sensor for the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) redox balance that functions as a transcriptional repressor called Rex (redox). Rex plays a key role in regulating genes in energy metabolism. READ MORE

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Kim Aarseth Larsson; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide - dependent deacetylase that belongs to the sirtuin protein family. The protein has been linked to both cancer through its effect on p53 and age related illnesses through its effect on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ). READ MORE

  6. 5. Biotinylation and high affinity avidin capture as a strategy for LC-MS based metabolomics

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Sofie Rhönnstad; [2010]
    Keywords : Biotinylation; avidin-biotin system; metabolites; metabolomics; LC-MS;

    Abstract : Metabolites, small endogenous molecules existing in every living cell, tissue or organism, play a vital role for maintaining life. The collective group of all metabolites, the metabolome, is a consequence of the biochemistry and biochemical pathways that a cell or tissue uses to promote survival. READ MORE
