Linkages

... of the mitochondria can be limited by the availability of the nuclear-encoded gene products. It would be interesting if there are faster linkages, such as signaling cascades, the trigger mitochondrial replication checkpoints. I'm speculating; has anyone looked into the literature on this?

... Your protein is probably aggregating because its being run in a buffer that is making it negatively charged. It may be interacting with the cross linkages of the gel or even binding to itself.

... I am do not understand why you said that "starch is a polymer of pure 1-4 β form". I understand that you mean the 1-4 glycosidic linkages are formed from the β form of glucose, but isn't that the α form? And thanks a lot for answering me!

... into either the α or β form. Galactose is pure 1-4 α-bound glucose while starch is a polymer of the pure 1-4 β form (though they may also have 1-6 linkages). Now I can look at your question again, Adz. The α and β forms of poly-D-glucose have different mechanical properties and adopt different ...

Do you know about phosphodiester linkages? Each nucleotide is bound to the other (in the same chain) by these, and they are between the phosphate groups and terminal hydroxyl groups. The end starting with the phosphate is the 5' end and the ...
