Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament (IF) protein normally expressed in cells that develop into connective tissue, ...

A team of Chinese scientists has used targeted gene editing to develop rice that produces coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a vital ...

Thermo-sensitive genic male sterility 5 (tms5) is a widely used thermo-sensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) line for two-line ...

The multitude of experiments “is definitely convincing to me that this single amino acid mutation is definitely changing the cell function,” says Marchetto. “I think it is an interesting hypothesis to ...

The outcome of a frameshift mutation is complete alteration of the amino acid sequence of a protein. This alteration occurs during translation because ribosomes read the mRNA strand in terms of ...

However, with so many amino acids in a protein, there are an astronomical number of ways mutations can combine.

The root causes of most forms of Alzheimer's disease largely remain a mystery. Now, researchers have revealed a new piece of the ...

Synonymous mutations have long been ignored in cancer studies since they don’t affect the amino acid sequences of proteins. But research increasingly reveals that they can have disease-driving effects ...

New research has found that changes to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vimentin, were found to promote tumor growth.

During translation, the sequence of codons is read in order from the nucleotide sequence to synthesize a chain of amino acids and form a protein. Frameshift mutations arise when the normal ...

Vimentin is a type III intermediate filament (IF) protein normally expressed in cells that develop into connective tissue, blood vessels, and ...

Amino acids that are the same as those of the reference ... terminator and inhibit reverse transcription. NRTI-resistance mutations & their mechanism of drug resistance M184V/I is the most ...
