The Life and Times of a Biochemist. So we are at the end of the semester and at the end of this Biochem course. Cells can be characterized as Prokaryotes or Eukaryotes.

How to successfully navigate this blog of epic proportions. And find out a little about us, why we do what we do and the work we put in to make all this awesome a reality! Get to know us.

Zebrafish is a model organism used to study embryonic development as they are encased by a transparent sac which allows researchers to see various stages of organ development. Added advantages include short generation time and also the large number of offspring produced.

The heart of science, the chemistry of life, basically biochemistry. I am a motor neuron attached to a muscle in the leg of the Xenopus Laevis. Next to my dendrites there is another nerve cell that transmits nerve impulses to me and at the end of my axon terminals there are muscle cells to which I transfer nerve impulses. My model organism is the Xenopus Laevis also known as the African clawed frog.

We are awesome biochemian thinkers sharing our biochemistry knowledge with the world. Glycolysis inhibition for cancer treatment. Nasir here again and for this post I will be giving a review on an interesting excerpt I uncovered while researching glycolysis. so have a read! I hope this was an informative read! Please do not forget to comment. Toxicity of weight loss agents. Yen May, and Michele Burns Ewald. Accessed April 10, 2014.

YOU ARE THE FATHER! 1 Separation of the DNA strands is done by heating the material to 90 -96. C in order to denature the specific genetic material into two double helix DNA chains. When the two strands separate, each strand is used as a template when a copy is made by DNA polymerase. C, a short sequence of nucleotides attaches to the ends of the DNA strands.

Hey guys, peanz clocking in and im here not to fascinate u with one of my reflections but to educate you on something even more interesting. As part of the criteria for our blog we are required to do two published paper reviews. This is our second and this publish paper discusses alcohol metabolism in various ethnic groups in Trinidad and Tobago. It is very interesting guys so take a read! Whereas afro-Trinis have ADH1B. His words, not m.

I chose this diagram in particular so that we can see the changes in the number of carbons also. This reaction occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion.
