What I liked most about this course was how easy it was to review the material. There were many options: answering Peerwise questions, rewatching the lectures, reviewing the supp. res., etc. which let me cover the same topic without it getting stale. #prescottbiochemistry

@Sabrina_unhm Hi Sabrina! Me too, I miss our old lab crew hanging out on the sixth floor together. You don’t know they are the good old days until they are over! But I am well; I hope you are too!

The answer is "GLUT4 -> mbrane Gluc entr", RAB is the motor protein that brings GLUT 4 storage vesicles to the cell membrane in order for it to integrate into the membrane and channel glucose into the cell. This is activated by Insulin binding to an integral protein in the membra

Once activated by the Insulin pathway, RAB proteins are responsible for....

#prescottbiochemistry Something in this class that expanded on prior knowledge? Probably Glycolysis and TCA. You can never go over those enough times...

@GoharAnwar9 I shared this guy too! He does a great job simplifying difficult concepts. His approach is fun and laid back too. Definitely good content.

[Ethanol Ferric-Oxideolo @oxideolo]

I think this guy always does a great job simplifying complex concepts from org chem to genetics. Here is a short summary of the Kreb's cycle by him.

@Marcusharlem11 Khan Academy is great! They always explain things in a straightforward manner. This definitely makes glycolysis easier to understand.

@jimiwi22 Funny enough this article was published the day after your tweet!

[Ethanol Ferric-Oxideolo @oxideolo]

@jimiwi22 Hey! Here is an article that talks about how COVID-19 might affect metabolism and even cause type-2 diabetes mellitus. Apparently, it hinders insulin release through damaging islet cells. https://t.co/pVrnGgtftD

*edit* it should say in vitro. Samples are taken and tested in vitro

#sciencetwitter #prescottbiochemistry I just learned about CRISPR-SHERLOCK: used to detect Covid-19 in vivo in less than an hour w/out a lot of equipment (link below). So I wonder, are there CRISPR therapeutics in the works for Covid? Has anyone started work on a CRISPR vaccine?

This paper looked at the role of peroxisome in lipid synthesis and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species generation to elucidate its importance in obesity and metabolic diseases. https://t.co/UYqGxvLSJV

What molecule is the primary precursor to steroid hormones?#prescottbiochemistry @peerwise

[Ethanol Ferric-Oxideolo @oxideolo]

This study relates to our current weeks' lecture on lipids because it discusses the effects of aldosterone, a steroid hormone, and how it affects a steroid hormone receptor in the kidneys and cell excitability through inhibiting its sodium channel! #prescottbiochemistry

Nitrogen is naturally made bioavailable by biological fixation mechanisms, done almost exclusively by anaerobic microorganisms using nitrogenases, that convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia. Could optimizing the process replace the Haber-Bosch system? #prescottbiochemistry

[Caltech @Caltech]

Understanding fertilizers is about a lot more than knowing 💩.

These Caltech researchers are advancing our understanding of nitrogenases - enzymes responsible for converting atmospheric nitrogen to be used in fertilizers that help feed the world.

@NFGallien A fact I found about this protein is that both Orexin-A and Orexin-B are encoded by the same mRNA transcript and that both are neuropeptides that stimulate the hypothalamus

[Ethanol Ferric-Oxideolo @oxideolo]

An interesting fact about this protein is that it is being researched by many different corporations trying to market a biodegradable plastic enzyme! Evian will be using its own (i believe patented) enzyme to make bottles out of recycled plastics more easily!

[Ethanol Ferric-Oxideolo @oxideolo]

The protein I am interested in is one of many PET hydrolase mutants created by the Ideonella Sakaiensis bacterium. This protein catalyzes the break down of hardy plastics into terephthalic acid and smaller plastic monomers! This mutant is "5XFY". #prescottbiochemistry

[Ethanol Ferric-Oxideolo @oxideolo]

This particular mutant is expressed in an Aspergillus species and is 290 Amino Acids long. I got this information from https://t.co/3HVOsgoayX and also from https://t.co/hAOUM2b0q1 which is another great source for proteomics!
