Protein do pass signals from one protein to another. It is accompanied by protein-protein interactions. For example insulin is a proteins, it binds to the receptor in cells by specific interaction.
By this it trigger the down stream signalling events in the cell to balance the sugar level in the blood.
genetic information is contained in protein molecules and is passed from one parent to another.
DNA more specifically Chromosomes
Transcription results in messenger Rnas that are passed to the process called translation [Rna to protein].
It is usually coming from the Krebs Cycle, also known as the Citric Acid Cycle.
Hyaline casts, or urinary casts, are cylinders of protein that have been dislodged and passed through the urinary tract. They are telling signs of kidney disease.
Because if an error is made during protein synthesis, the result is at worst one bad protein. If an error is made during DNA replication, that error will persist for the entire lifespan of that cell and be inherited by every daughter cell it produces. Should the error prove deleterious, the effects can be catastrophic for the cell or the organism. For example, if an error occurs in a protein coding segment of DNA, it is possible that every protein that locus generates will now be defective.
The word was coined by a French Chemist in 1838 and comes from a Greek word 'Proteios' meaning the 'first quality' a substance thought to be essential to life by the Greeks. The modern use is from German 'Protein'. This word passed to the rest of the world from Germany via England in 1907
DNA -> RNA -> protein. That simple!
A gene is a functional unit on DNA. A gene codes for a protein. Most of the DNA in a genome does not code for protein. These non-coding sequences are thought to provide a sense of stability and integrity to the genome. If a DNA sequence is capable of coding for a functional protein, then it is a gene
Modern dieters are quite lucky to live in the age of protein. In days long passed, low-fat diets were the only diets which were widely accepted by the medical establishment. Today, medical science has realized that high protein diets can often lead to dramatic and safe weight loss. Those who are interested in unlocking protein power for themselves should look carefully at both sides of the issue. Like any other diet, there are certain risks associated with a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. Nevertheless, most informed individuals will choose to experience the power of protein for themselves.
Prions are the easiest way to answer this. Prions are like mis-folded proteins that cannot reproduce. When a prion enters a cell, it interacts with the normal protein and transforms it into the prion's version. By transmissible pathogen it means that the forgein body is able to be passed along.
Thalassemia is a blood disorder that is passed down through families or inherited and it involves the body making an abnormal form of the hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that usually carries oxygen.
