123). In this study, Martinez-Contreras and her associates report the results of recent research that has provided additional evidence concerning the function of these proteins in precursor-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing (2007). The splicing repression can function in two discrete ways in heterogeneous nuclear RNP proteins; the first way is by antagonizing the recognition of splice sites directly and the second way is through interference with the binding of proteins that

Biochemistry Similarity of Glycolysis in Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes Glycolysis is reported as being a pathway that is practically universal for energy extraction that carbohydrates hold available and this is true for eukaryotes, prokaryotes as well as aerobes and anaerobes. (Essential Biochemistry, 2014, paraphrased) Only eukaryotes have mitochondria. Some prokaryotes are reported to be photosynthetic and to use "an electron transport chain to make ATP." (Essential Biochemistry, 2014, p. 1) It is believed that

Biochemistry The Polypeptide Chain Configuration in Hemoglobin and other Globular Proteins By Linus Pauling and Robert B. Corey (1951) The article named above describes a continuation in the study of hydrogenbonded planar-amide configurations of polypeptide chains. It also discusses evidence on the possibility of the existence of such chains in fibrous proteins, and in molecules of globular proteins. The article first notes that globular patterns such as ovalbumin, can "on denaturation be converted into

Altogether, the Icelandic findings implicate epigenetic silencing of the BRCA1 gene in sporadic breast tumors. They even suggest that "the BRCA1 gene is implicated in sporadic breast tumorigenesis through epigenetic silencing and deletion of the BRCA1 gene," and that BRCA1 methylation is also found to be important in hereditary breast cancer, indicating similarities between BRCA1 methylated and hereditary BRCA1 breast tumors (Birgisdotter, et al. 9). While heredity factors strongly contribute

The next database used for the search is Medline. I began with the same search terms, celiac disease biochemistry, however it did not return any articles. Next, the search was expanded my search by simply searching celiac disease. This returned 544 articles. The first article is titled Celiac Disease and is from the National Library of Medicine. This article is clearly not useful. Next the search was expanded to celiac

student with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications, minors in both Psychology and Sociology, and a desire to attend law school, my request to enter a Biochemistry program may be unusual. After all, people who focus on the hard sciences usually do so because of plans to work in a particular industry or to pursue additional field-specific education via Masters or PhD programs. Because I have no intention
