In vitro: Previous study found that the exposure of the tumor cell lines to 3-AP before or immediately after irradiation resulted in an increase in radiosensitivity. In contrast, 3-AP could enhance the radiosensitivity of the normal fibroblast cell line only when the exposure was before irradiation. There were no consistent differences between cell lines with respect to the expression of the RR subunits. Whereas

7. Peroxisomes-Peroxisomes are responsible for the transfer of hydrogen coming from substrates to oxygen. 8. Bound Ribosomes- bound to some endoplasmic reticulum, these structures are responsible for the synthesis of proteins and polypeptides. The proteins that have been synthesized then become part of the membrane or exported out of the cell.

Thus, CerS determine the acyl chain length of sphingolipids, including ceramides, sphingomyelin and glycosphingolipids. The six CerS are differently expressed among tissues and cell types, yielding to distinct sphingolipids-acyl chain length profiles for each cell/tissue. As an example, in the brain, CerS1 (which targets C18 acyl-chains) is distributed primarily in neurons, whereas CerS2, responsible for the synthesis of C22-C24 acyl-chain sphingolipids, is expressed specifically in oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells.38 The next step in de novo synthesis is the desaturation of dihydro-ceramides to generate ceramides, by the dihydroceramide desaturase (DES).

When a ddNTP is incorporated into a chain of nucleotides, synthesis terminates. This is because the ddNTP molecule lacks a 3 ' hydroxyl group (instead of hydroxyl group, it has only

Creatine kinase is predominantly found in cardiac muscles and also in the skeletal muscles. It catalysis the conversion of creatine and utilizes the adenosine triphosphate to create phosphocreatine and adenosine diphosphate .Phosphocreatine serves for the rapid buffering and regeneration of ATP.This creatine kinase exist in three forms known as isoenzymes:CK-MM,CK-BB,and CK-MB.CK-MM is present in the skeletal muscle and myocardium,CK-BB is present in the brain and CK-MB is present in the myocardium. Therefore, in the case of myocardial infarction there will be slightly increase of the CK-MB in the

Cells were grown in the presence of BrdU and so incorporated BrdU in their DNA. Thymidine was added at different stages of S phase to the cells. The section of the chromosome that was at that time being replicated incorporated thymidine into the double helix instead. When examined under the microscope, the sites that were replicating at the time of thymidine addition light up. These were different for early, mid and late S phase REF KELLIE/ MOLCELL BOOK.

The alternatively activated43,22,55,59 M2 macrophage is anti-inflammatory44, and is characterised by a circular appearance30, low IL12 and IL23 with high IL10 as well as an increase in the expression of mannose and galactose receptors and the metabolism of arginine through arginase to ornithine and polyamine43,20,27,63,18. Arginase is known to help decrease lymphocyte proliferation1. M2 also have increased urea production, CD180, CD163, TREM2 and stabilin expression and decreased TNF-α, CD40 and CD86 expression27,29,30. M2 macrophages have various subtypes25,27,30,43,55,18,20,18. Subtype M2A is induced by Th2 responses, IL4 and IL13, M2B is induced by immune complexes and TLR and subtype M2C is induced by IL10, TGF-β and glucocorticoids25,30,55,20.

It is to be noted that the bases along the strands complements the genetic coding, The four base pairs A, T, G, and C forms the type of proteins. These codons are required to synthesis specific amino acids; example would a gene, which is a sequence of a nucleotide along the DNA strands. The codon AGC, replicates to form serine, and the codon ACC forms Threonine, it is to be noted that the condones are degenerate, meaning the type of amino acid can be coded by a multiple of codons. Example would be; ACU, ACC, ACA, ACG can be combine to form the protein known as

Clopidogrel is a pro-drug, upon being orally administered in its inactive form, is first absorbed by the intestines then transferred to the liver where activation of the drug occurs by CYP450 [3,4]. However, only 15% is catalyzed by the cytochrome enzymes, whereas the majority of the Clopidogrel is hydrolyzed by esterases to its inactive carboxylic acid derivative [4,5]. Hepatic and Polymorphic CYP450 enzymes catalyze the oxidation of thiophene ring in Clopidogrel to its intermediate metabolite: 2-oxoclopidogrel [5]. 2-oxoclopidogrel is then further oxidized, resulting in opening of the thiophene ring to form a carboxyl and a thiol group [5]. The thiol group will irreversibly bind via a disulfide bone to a free cysteine on P2YR12 ADP receptor

The leader sequence has 4 main regions with some kind of palindromic sequence. When the amount of tryptophan is low the translation of domain1 (requires trp) slows down. The domains 2& 3 pairs which allows the continued transcription, resulting in the biosynthesis of tryptophan. At high concentrations of tryptphan , ribosome quickly moves through domain1 and associates with 2.This enables the strong pairing between domains 3&4.This pairing creates a stem and loop structure in the mRNA . This terminates transcription and the structural genes required for the tryptophan synthesis are not

The C-3 hydroxyl group is esterified to phosphoric acid. The resulting compound, called phosphatidate, is the simplest phosphoglycerate. Only small amounts of phosphatide are present in membranes. However, it is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of the other phosphoglycerides.

EPO is a hormone which is required for the proliferation erythrocytes and undergoes hypoxia induced transcription (Semenza et al., 1991, Goldberg et al., 1988). HIF-1 complex is a master regulator of the transcription factor, which is comprises of two heterodimeric protein subunits i.e. α and β subunits (Wang et al., 1995). β subunit is identified as a binding partner of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Reyes et al., 1992) so it is also known as ARNT (the aryl hydrocarbon nuclear translocator). Both of the subunits of HIF-1 complex belong to the same family of proteins that contain basic helix-loop-helix (HLH) and PER-ARNT-SIM (PAS) motifs. These two motifs are important for the formation of heterodimerisation between the HIF-α and HIF-β subunits (Manolescu et al., 2009).

    CCCCC We can use the following analogy to (Peter Daempfle, 2001) translate the DNA to mRNA. We can also use this analogy to determine from the mentioned sequences which is not a correct translation of the mRNA.DNA matches with mRNA in:A matches with UT matches with AG matches with CC matches with G The odd one out from the sequence is clearly (b) that is UTTCTTT this is because the code T is from a DNA sequence rather than from a mRNA sequence.
