    TATA/Binding Protein DNA Complex
    2008-06-23 08:31:00
    TATA binding protein (TBP) is a transcription factor that binds specifically to a DNA sequence called the TATA box. This DNA sequence is found about 25-30 base pairs upstream of the transcription start site in some eukaryotic gene promoters. TBP, along with a variety of TBP-associated factors, make up the TFIID, a general transcription factor that in turn makes up part of the RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex. As one of the few proteins in the preinitation complex that binds DNA in a sequence-specific manner, it helps position RNA polymerase II over the transcription start site of the gene. However, it is estimated that only 10-20% of human promoters have TATA boxes. Therefore, TBP is probably not the only protein involved in positioning RNA polymerase II. Role as Transcription Factor Subunit TBP is a subunit of the eukaryotic transcription factor TFIID. TFIID is the first protein to bind to DNA during the formation of the pre-initiation transcription complex of RNA polyme

    The "Perfect" $1 Protein Shake
    2008-06-17 19:20:31
    Millions of people drink protein shakes every day. They're the ideal health food: delicious, convenient, portable, and (usually) highly nutritious. Whether you're trying to lose weight, build muscle, or just improve your health, protein shakes can be an incredibly effective way to reach your goals.A good protein shake can help you:- increase your energy levels- boost your metabolism to burn fat quickly (and safely)- increase your lean muscle mass- enhance your immune system- reduce/eliminate your appetite and food cravings- increase your heart health- lower cholesterol and blood pressure- promote healing and recoveryUnfortunately the tasty, often expensive, concoctions you get at your local "smoothie" shop probably aren't your best options. The recipes used at these places are geared much more toward taste than nutrition. Simply put, they're loaded with sugar -- often 30 grams or more -- and frequently have no more than 10 or 15 grams of protein. That nutritional profile is much closer

    Protein evolution provides unique insights into vertebrate physiology
    2008-05-22 20:14:57
    Prior to the advent of large sequence datasets, it was assumed that innovation and divergence at the morphological and physiological level would be easily explained at the molecular level. Molecular explanations for physiological adaptations have, however, been rare. In a study published in PLoS ONE on Wednesday, May 21, Pollock and colleagues provide evidence that major macroevolutionary changes in snakes (e.g., physiological and metabolic adaptations and venom evolution) have been accompanied by massive functional redesign of core metabolic proteins. read more

    G protein receptor
    2008-05-21 03:03:00
    G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), also known as seven transmembrane domain receptors, 7TM receptors, heptahelical receptors, and G protein-linked receptors (GPLR), comprise a large protein family of transmembrane receptors that sense molecules outside the cell and activate inside signal transduction pathways and, ultimately, cellular responses. G protein-coupled receptors are found only in eukaryotes, including yeast, plants, choanoflagellates, and animals. The ligands that bind and activate these receptors include light-sensitive compounds, odors, pheromones, hormones, and neurotransmitters, and vary in size from small molecules to peptides to large proteins. G protein-coupled receptors are involved in many diseases, but are also the target of around half of all modern medicinal drugsThese proteins receive chemical signals from outside the cell and pass the signal into the cell, so that the cell can respond to the signal. The structures of the endogenous ligands for GPCRs are excep

    How Much Protein Should You Eat?
    2008-05-04 20:39:11
    Don’t sacrifice your carbohydrates for a high protein diet, and think twice before “bulking up” those biceps with protein to look better at the gym. Your daily diet shouldn’t contain more than 30% protein ideally, because an excess of it will do you more harm than good. So says Gail Butterfield, Ph.D., director of Nutrition Studies at the Palo Alto Veterans Administration Medical Center.Dr. Butterfield says that excess protein in your diet may have harmful effects. If you increase protein without adding more calories and exercise to your daily life, instead of building muscle mass you will put your other body systems under undue stress. And eating more protein while increasing calorie intake -- but keeping at the same exercise levels -- builds an equal amount of additional fat and muscle. Meanwhile, a diet where protein is more than 30% of your calorie intake causes a buildup of toxic ketones. A “ketogenic” diet, or one high in ketones, pushes your kidneys to excessively fl

    Food Cycling and Why Eat More Protein & Fats
    2008-05-04 18:04:00
    I'm writing about two subjects, the role proteins and fats (fat does not create fat) play with our body and food cycling. I'm interested in learning about Food Cycling for weight loss (management) cleansing and rejuvenating a body. Dr. Heidi Dulay, nutrition consultant helps people take the guess work out of What to Eat at Little Spa while she works with food cycling for weight loss or for someone like me who just needs help figuring out the best food for health.What is food cycling? Cycle through several food plans to balance and pamper your body.What makes this work?1. Food cycles. Bodies know that there’s a time for fat burning, and a time for cleansing and rejuvenation. A time for discipline, and a time for comfort or celebration. And when a body is in balance, it wants what’s truly good for it. The Food Cycling Program guides you through these eating stages for lasting weight loss.2. Commitment to health and rejuvenation. There's nothing toxic (like artificial sweeteners) or l

    Why High Protein Diets Won't Help You Lose Weight
    2008-05-03 19:41:49
    Copyright 2006 Jonathan PerezThere are all kinds of diet recommendations all over the bodybuilding magazines, fad diet books, and websites that advise to divide your eating into different "ratios" and "percentages" for weight loss and fat burning.Some recommend high fat, low carb, others say moderate carbs, moderate fat, high carbs, low fat, etc.But the one thing that each and every one of these "weight loss" / "fat burning" diets say is it must be HIGH in protein.Well, I'm here to tell you the TRUTH.It is NOT necessary at all to eat a diet high in protein to lose weight.Just about everything you read says to eat 1-2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight.Some even go as high as suggesting you have to not only eat high, but massive amounts of protein to lose weight and burn fat.This MYTH is due to 3 reasons:1) Everyone thinks that muscle tissue is made up mostly of protein2) Everyone thinks that either high amounts of fat or high amounts of carbohydrates will cause you to get fat3) E

    Food that is High in Protein
    2008-03-18 13:47:00
    We all know the fact that Protein is the building rock of our muscles and it is also required for the proper functioning of our entire body. For any bodybuilder out there, the best foods are the ones that are high in protein. For those that are still not aware of this, very good sources of protein from foods are lean red meat, turkey breast, skinless chicken breast, white fish, salmon and tuna. You should be aware of the importance of nutrition in bodybuilding, fitness and any other sport you want to practice. As a good example, keep in mind that 150 g of salmon fillet contains around 40 grams of protein. One simple can of tuna will also have around 30 to 35 grams of protein. Foods that are high in protein usually come with around 30 to 40 grams of protein in one serving of 150 grams.I am sure that you do know that eggs are great when talking about protein intake but they are not that recommended in bodybuilding nutrition. 1 egg comes with around 6.5 grams of protein so this means you

    Computaional Approach on Protein structure Prediction
    2008-03-05 08:24:00
    Protein structure prediction is one of the most important goals pursued by bioinformatics and theoretical chemistry. Its aim is the prediction of the three-dimensional structure of proteins from their amino acid sequences, sometimes including additional relevant information such as the structures of related proteins. In other words, it deals with the prediction of a protein's tertiary structure from its primary structure. Protein structure prediction is of high importance in medicine (for example, in drug design) and biotechnology (for example, in the design of novel enzymes). Every two years, the performance of current methods is assessed in the CASP experiment.A good introductory lecture on protein structure Prediction

    Increased protein intake, faster fat loss?
    2008-01-25 14:06:00
    Before laying out the guidelines for optimum protein consumption, let’s take a moment to examine what happens when not enough protein is consumed and to address the question of “How much protein does an active person need?”How much protein does an active person need?Protein has a mainly structural purpose in the body; the amino acids that result from the digestion of protein are used for the synthesis of non essential amino acids and other various compounds (different hormones, cell components etc.).Besides the small amount of amino acids floating around in the blood stream and in the muscles, the body has no “real” storage mechanism for amino acids.Because of this, it is critical to supply through your diet the amino acids the body needs for synthesis purposes. Failing to do so causes protein deficiency. When in a prolonged state of protein deficiency the body reacts by breaking down muscle tissue and, eventually, organ tissue to provide for it’s basic amino acid needs.Now that you now what happens when the body is protein deprived, let’s tackle the issue of what is the minimum amount of protein a person needs to ingest in order to prevent muscle and organ tissue wastage and eventual death.Before we talk numbers, a quick word on how protein needs are measured. The technique used to measure protein needs in different populations is the nitrogen balance technique.The technique involves measuring the amount of nitrogen ingested (found in protein sources) and the amount eliminated through urine, sweat and feces.When nitrogen coming in is equivalent to the amount being eliminated then there is nitrogen balance. What this means is that you are eating enough protein to prevent muscle and organ tissue breakdown but not enough to support the “building” of additional muscle tissue.The results of studies conducted on nitrogen balance suggest that an amount of 0.8 g of protein per kilogram of body mass should be consumed by sedentary people in order to mainta

    Benefits of Eating Whey Protein in 2008
    2008-01-05 20:09:25
    In recent years, the subject of whey protein has come up often in health discussions. Know what whey protein is, its possible benefits and side effects and more as you read on.What is Whey ProteinWhey protein is actually a term used to describe a group of globular proteins that can be separated from whey. When cow's milk is used to manufacture cheese, it also leads to the production of whey, which may or may not be discarded. It is a mixture of lactoglobulin, alpha-lactalbumin and serum albumin.Similar to protein found in egg white, whey protein can also be irreversibly changed by heat. When made part of the pasteurization process, it becomes less bio-active. If not, whey protein naturally becomes bio-active which basically means it contains a high concentration of cysteine and consequently glutathione, an antioxidant that is essential to improved fitness and health.Bio-active whey protein is an active source for protein but exposure to extreme heat can easily reduce the amount of cysteine in it without affecting its protein content and basic food value. Native whey protein What Makes It Good for the BodyBecause whey protein contains an inordinate amount of essential and non-essential acids, it frequently plays a prominent role in most low-carb and high-protein diets. Another reason for this is because of its low content of fats and of course, carbohydrates.Why Pregnant Mothers Love Whey ProteinA number of OBs have advised their gravid patients to increase their intake of whey protein because it will provide the basic amount of amino acids needed by the growing infants inside their bodies. An increased intake of whey protein will naturally improve and speed up the development of the baby. Also, increased intake of whey protein will indirectly improve the immune system of the baby. In its growing stages, it is highly vulnerable to different types of illnesses. With the help of whey protein, it grow faster and better and more equipped to defend itself against any hea

    Why Not Protein Shake?
    2007-09-29 05:46:20
    There is so much debate on whether protein shakes are really necessary to a workout program. More so, there is a greater debate on whether women should be taking these supplements. Personally, I am a strong believer in protein shakes being a part of my workout program. In this article I aim to explain why.Protein shakes are infused with protein, often in the form of whey, soy, or egg. It should be the most important part of your diet, whether your goals are to increase muscle and get bigger and stronger, or lose weight and fat and get lean. Increasing your protein intake increases your chances of losing weigth when you're working out. And it also is a quick and tasty way to get a high-quality source of protein without a lot of extra fat or carbohydrates.Most women today do not understand the importance of having lean muscle mass and are too scared of developing large, bulky muscles that would make them look manly. They do not actually realize how hard it is to achieve and build large amounts of muscle. Gaining muscle size is extremely hard, requiring complete dedication, near perfect diet of mass amounts of protein, many years of training with extremely heavy weights, and you would need to be one with the genetic predisposition to achieve this, which is rare. They also do not understand how having more lean muscle mass actually helps boost their metabolism, and helps to burn fat faster.A high protein/moderate carbohydrate diet is the most effective for controlling weight problems. For some reason women do not eat an adequate amount of protein. Amino acids and protein are the building blocks to the entire body, this includes muscles, tissues, hair, nails, etc... A complete source of protein is necessary to help in burning excess calories and fat.My favorite protein shake supplement is Body Fortress which contains 100% premium whey protein powder. It is packed with 23g of protein per serving.Whey protein contains ingredients similar to those found in mother's milk and is therefore used in many baby formulas. This protein is full of essential amino acids that promote good health and improve body composition and enhance athletic performance; high quality whey protein powder is also packed with leucine, which is essential to preserve lean muscle tissue and promote fat loss.The benefits, then, of protein shakes are the following:1. To Increase your percentage of lean muscle.2. To build muscle mass.3. To recover faster after a workout.4. To reduce injuries related to working out.5. To maintain a healthy and fit body.6. To feel better during your workouts.7. To act as a healthy alternative for a meal.8. Increases the body levels of gluthathione-a powerful anti-oxidant that is essential for maintaining a healthy immune system.9. Preventing bone loss.10. Healing wounds and surgical incisions.Again, a key point to remember is that every time you work out you are tearing down muscles and then rebuilding them. Protein is necessary to repair and rebuild your muscles.
