Fat is a Drosophila tumour suppressor gene that regulates the growth of cells in tissues. The McNeill lab are trying to understand how Fat restricts growth and controls Hippo pathway activity. This is being tested using flies and mice. They are also investigating how Fat regulates growth via control of metabolism and mitochondrial function. The McNeill lab is hoping to find how Fat regulates the growth rate and full grown size of organs. Fat also controls a high-level form of tissue…
Digestive containing more enzymes are produced by the pancreas, which further breaks down the protein fragments. The two major pancreatic enzymes are the chymotrypsin and trypsin. In the small intestines, there are cells lining on the walls that will additional enzymes, which will finally break apart the protein fragments into the individual amino acids. The contractions of muscles from the small intestine mix and propel the digested proteins into the lower parts…
After analysis of the mass spectrum and gas chromatogram, the identity of the ester was discovered, and the purity of the ester was calculated. After identifying the fragments on the mass spectrum, the unknown ester seems to be iso-amyl acetate, also known as iso-pentyl ethanoate, because of the max m/z value is at 131 and the fragments of iso-amyl acetate line up with the mass spectrum from the unknown sample. The sample received from the gas chromatogram shows that the ester was not pure.…
restriction enzymes. This enzymes produces fragments of different lengths that are arranged by electrophoresis. • Splitting of the sorted double-stranded DNA fragments to single strands and after that, they transport them to a nylon sheet. • The fragments undergo autoradiography where they are revealed to DNA probes—pieces of synthetic DNA that are made radioactive. • An X-ray film the fragments. When a radioactive probe attaches to the fragments, a dark mark will be displayed. This…
officers had an average age of 30, around 9 years of service, and rated themselves at an average level of experience in interviewing at 3.4/7, with 1 being no experience and 7 being the highest amount of experience. They were asked to watch 8 short fragments from press conferences where individuals were either asking for the public’s help in finding their missing relatives, or, in situations where the body had already been found, asking for help in finding the murderer. They then needed to…
Annotated Bibliography Darnell, John Coleman, and Deborah Darnell.

Journal of Near Eastern Studies 56, no. 4 (1997): 241-58. http://www.jstor.org/stable/545993. The authors discuss the discovery of new first intermediate period inscriptions from the Theban regime in the11th dynasty. The inscriptions are said to be by Coptite nomarch…
One specific break through happened not that long ago when a piece of aluminum fragment, which is thought to be a part of Earhart’s plane, was found. This break through had to do with the fact that maybe they didn’t crash into the Pacific Ocean at all. “A fragment of Amelia Earhart’s lost aircraft has been identified.” (“ Aluminum Fragment appears to belong to Earhart’s plane”) Although this theory still says that she most likely ran out of fuel it has to differ…
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Generalities PCR is a method developed in 1985 by Kary Mullis and to obtain, by coupling a heat-resistant DNA polymerase and without cloning, amplification of a fragment of DNA known. Initially, DNA polymerase was isolated from a bacterium thermophilne (resistant to significant increases in temperature), as Thermus aquaticus (Taq polymerase). Currently, we use recombinant enzymes, whose; elaboration is easier and greater efficiency. The general principle of PCR is…
in the Tomb of Meketre which included gardens, stables, sporting boats, funeral boats, and fishing canoes. There were many antiques such as gold and silver vessels made from precious metals, long necked bottles from the reign of Tutankhamen, and fragments of statues and reliefs. There were small sculptures and objects of daily life, such as plates, glass objects, and model palettes. There were different types of jewelry such as faience rings, jasper, amulets, stones, faience beads. The…
INTRODUCTION Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory loss and dementia. The neurodegeneration is due to a formation of amyloid platelets in the brain that interrupt the normal function of it. It worsen with the pass of years and is mostly suffered by older people (Reece et al. 2014). The platelets composed by Amyloid; a harmful insoluble protein fibril which is produced by Amyloid precursor protein (APP). APP is processed in the membrane of neurons…
