Paramutation

... in a biological organism is sensitive to change. Even one exchange of nucleotide in the DNA can cause the organism to be in a disease state/not optimal. The flip side is also possible, where one change could bring on a more optimal state. Such is the life of evolution. I also would like to bring ...

Improving transient CHO protein expression

... suspension) but the protein expression levels are not great compared to the HEKs I was using before. I have played around with ratios and have an optimal ratio (1:1 with 1ug DNA and 1ug MAX transfection reagent). I have also tried putting the cells in hypothermic conditions which appears to have ...

maping and linkage problems

... how many moles would you have of this molecule? 2.Knowing the genome size of E. coli and the fact that it can divide ca. every 20 minutes (under optimal growth conditions), calculate the rate of DNA replication in bp/sec (assume only one origin of replication and bidirectional replication). 3. ...

Stomach bloating and weight gain

There is alpha-amylase and gastric lipase that is in the stomach. But you got me thinking about pepsinogen and how it needs a pH of 3.5 for optimal activity, and at least a pH of 5 for activation. Vegans are known to have a basic pH constitution, and I wonder if my stomach pH is not optimal. ...

Re: Cancer and Cell cycle - cyclins/cdk/mutated genes?

... I do not know, but if the regulatory proteins are mutated to be permanently activated/"on" then it will proceed thru the cell cycle at optimal speeds, and continuously, without waiting to make sure all the DNA is proper, or the chromatin has segregated appropriately, or whether the ...
