The egg is the largest cell in the body and is protected by a thick, extracellular shell of sugar and protein called the zona pellucida.
A crucial neural transport protein called "tau" becomes hyperphosphorylated and twists itself into something called "tangles," which choke off the neurons from the inside.
However, low-income countries show an insufficient caloric and protein intake.
And they provide jobs and medicine and food including 20 percent of protein to feed the entire world population.
Scientists added a single gene that codes for a protein represented by this orange ball that feeds back on itself to keep cranking out more of that protein.
Microbes and bacteria break down carbon, then protein, to create a new substance, a rich, earthy soil.
Second is protein biomarkers, like PSA for prostate cancer.
In fact, more of our DNA is devoted to genes for different olfactory receptors than for any other type of protein.
And there's a protein on immune cells that grabs the sialic acid, and if that protein gets held at that synapse between the immune cell and the cancer cell, it puts that immune cell to sleep.
This molecule plays many roles in our cells, but in the case of CRISPR, RNA binds to a special protein called Cas9.
And this is a little protein molecule.
As prime food sources are depleted, the harvest goes deeper into the oceans and brings in more such sources of protein.
We're interested in using DNA, RNA and protein, and building new languages for building things from the bottom up, using biomolecules, potentially having nothing to do with biology.
We are feeding our kids antibiotics in beef and other animal protein every day.
It was pretty obvious that it provided the information to an RNA molecule, and then how do you go from RNA to protein?
RNA provides the information for protein.
When a radiolabeled tracer enters the body, it travels through the circulatory system and gets taken up by its target— whether that's a protein in the brain, cancer cells, or otherwise.
They’re also revolutionizing the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease by allowing doctors to see amyloid, the telltale protein buildup that otherwise couldn’t be confirmed without an autopsy.
There's now many examples where people do bug-finding crowdsourcing or protein folding, of all things, in crowdsourcing.
So last year, I founded China's first food tech accelerator and VC platform to help start-ups to shape the future of good food the way they want, be that through using edible insects as a more sustainable source of protein or using essential oils to keep food fresh for longer.
And then also graphs by scientists, this beautiful diagraph of protein homology.
And fat has nine calories per gram, whereas protein and carbs only have four.
There are ecological reasons for eating lower on the food chain too, whether it's the deforestation in the Amazon or making more protein available to the four billion people who live on a dollar a day, not to mention whatever ethical concerns people have.
Enzymes that chew things up, antibodies, it’s all, you know, the fit between a protein and whatever it is grabbing, in this case a smell.
You have a molecule coming in, it gets into the protein, which is schematic here, and it causes this thing to switch, to turn, to move in some way by binding in certain parts.
And the attraction, the forces, between the molecule and the protein cause the motion.
And the warhead in CRISPR is this purple protein that acts like molecular scissors to cut DNA, breaking the double helix into two pieces.
To those disabled CRISPR scissors, shown in blue, we attached a second protein in red, which performs a chemical reaction on the DNA base C, converting it into a base that behaves like T. Third, we had to attach to the first two proteins the protein shown in purple, which protects the edited base from being removed by the cell.
The net result is an engineered three-part protein that for the first time allows us to convert Cs into Ts at specified locations in the genome.
We realized that we could further engineer this three-part protein to flag the nonedited strand as the one to be replaced by nicking that strand.
