The protein p53 is a transcription factor that is activated in response to cellular stress such as DNA damage. It promotes cell cycle arrest or apoptosis preventing further proliferation. In most human cancers, the integrity of p53 pathway is compromi . . .

In recent years, quantum dots have been studied across various fields with far reaching applications. Due to their unique electronic properties, they have been applied to such areas as LEDs, solar cells, bio-imaging, and even to the treatment of cance . . .

Semiconductor quantum dots have been studied extensively due to their unique absorption and emission properties. One particularly important topic of interest is their potential for eradicating cancer cells in photodynamic therapy,1 where using quantum . . .

The purpose of this research is to synthesize a molecular shuttle for the transport of small molecules into the cytoplasm of E. coli. The biological hypothesis is that the iron acquisition mechanism of E. coli can actively internalize small molecules . . .

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPc) is a key enzyme in algae, fungi, and plants. It has been established as a crucial regulatory enzyme in photosynthetic metabolism where it is responsible for the irreversible beta-carboxylation of PEP in the mesop . . .

The p53 protein is vital in multicellular organisms, where it functions as a cell cycle regulator and tumor suppressor, preventing cancer. Upon cell stress p53 inhibits cell cycle or promotes apoptosis, p53 is negatively regulated by mouse double minu . . .

Histone N-terminal tails are subject to covalent post-translational modifications (PTMs) including methylation and phosphorylation which signal gene activation. Like phosphorylation, methylation affects cellular regulatory mechanisms and its implicati . . .

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) function to protect organisms from freezing in subzero temperatures. AFPs in insects have been discovered to be the most effective in decreasing the freezing point of water without affecting the melting point, apparently a p . . .

ABSTRACT Development of Core Curriculum for General Education Chemistry Students By Dianna Kim General Education Chemistry (GE Chemistry) course curricula often mimic that of the General Chemistry course intended for various STEM majors. However, this . . .
