Effect of Lipid Modification on Transformation - Associated Properties and Viral Membrane Assembly
… and fatty acid composition of the cellular membranes in chicken embryo fibroblasts. We have used this technique to study the effect of lipid modification on various parameters associated with transformation in tissue culture. Lipid supplementation had a variety of effects on cellular …

The dual-targeted membrane assembly of the <i>Streptomyces coelicolor</i> Rieske protein
… protein export across the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane - the general secretory (Sec) system and the twin-arginine translocation (Tat) system. Both translocases can also insert membrane proteins. The Sec machinery inserts multiple transmembrane domains into the cytoplasmic membrane by a …

Mechanisms Of Cytokine-Induced Metabolic Dysfunction Of The Pancreatic Beta-Cell
… activation of key G-proteins, defective nuclear membrane assembly and loss in cell viability. Pharmacological inhibitors such as 2-bromopalmitate [inhibitor of palmitoylation], EHop-016 [inhibitor of Vav2-Rac1 axis] and NSC23766 [inhibitor of Tiam1-Rac1 axis] attenuated cytokine-induced JNK1/2 …

Characterising the anticancer effects of a small molecule with potential to inhibit nuclear import via karyopherin beta1
… of Karyopherin proteins in nuclear pore assembly, nuclear membrane assembly and DNA replication. Since all these cell regulatory functions are critical for normal cell function, dysregulation of Karyopherin proteins may have an impact on cancer cell survival. Previous research in our …

The Localization of Glucose-6 Phosphatase in Developing Rat Liver: A Histochemical and Biochemical Study
… hepatocytes during a period of rapid cell and membrane differentiation was studied by electron microscopic histochemistry. Livers from animals 4 days before to 1 day after birth were perfused with 2% glutaraldehyde in the presence of 6 mM glucose-6-phosphate. The short fixation time (3 to 5 …

Computational investigations of cellular functions: Three cases on membrane morphogenesis, organization and assembly of a multi-protein complex, and the molecular origin of muscle elasticity
… are discussed: the morphology of the biological membrane, assembly of a multi-protein complex, and the molecular origin of elasticity in muscle protein. In the photosynthetic purple bacterium Rhodobacter (Rba.) sphaeroides, light is absorbed by membrane-bound light-harvesting proteins LH1 and …

Three dimensional thermal modelling of high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells in a serpentine design
The aim of my work is to model a segment of a unit cell of a fuel cell stack using numerical methods which is classified as computational fluid dynamics and implementing the work in a commercial computational fluid dynamics package, FLUENT. The focus of my work is to study the thermal distribution …
