We are only starting to understand the functional networks of the proteins encoded in the now sequenced human genome. The ability to predict gene and protein function from the sequence and network context is linked to this goal.
Light is reflected from the objects in our surroundings. Depending on the properties of the atoms of these objects, certain spectral regions are absorbed. What spectral regions are absorbed depends on the atoms and molecules in these objects. The remainder is perceived by our eyes, generating different colors.
Biochemistry is the scientific field concerning the chemical reactions that occur within living organisms.
Bioinformatics as a scientific field has emerged and evolved during the last decades as a consequence of the large amount of sequence data generated in other biological and medical fields.
Biophysics is the science that concerns the physics of living organisms.
This research topic is the one that has the most stringent connection to biotechnology - new molecular methods necessarily become increasingly detailed and with the resulting high resolution of research data, more extensive methods to handle and analyze the data are required.
Proton transport across biological membranes, electron and proton-transfer reactions within the respiratory complexes, and regulatory interactions between membrane proteins are processes that contribute to energy conversion within a cell.
Many of the chemical reactions that take place within a cell occur through enzymes - proteins that catalyze reactions. Were it not for enzymes, many of the reactions in the cell would take a very long time that would be incompatible with survival.
Living cells are dependent on the conversion of energy that originates from digested material and light. This conversion delivers a chemical representation of this energy to the cell and it takes place inside the membrane systems of compartments inside the cell - either chloroplasts or mitochondria.
Neurochemistry is the scientific field that describes and investigates the biochemistry of the brain and neural circuits.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the selective loss of specific neuronal populations with corresponding distinct clinical features.
Development of the nervous system is a highly regulated process where billions of neurons are generated and integrated into functional circuits.
Neurotoxicity is the effect of toxic substances on the nervous system. It is an important cause for the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
Some organisms, such as Rhodospirillum rubrum, a bacterium that has been well studied at the department for biochemistry and biophysics, has the catability of binding nitrogen from the air for use within the cell. The products of this nitrogen metabolism then becomes available to certain plants that cohabitate the soil where these bacteria thrive.
Protein biogenesis includes protein synthesis and for membrane proteins it also includes the process by which the proteins end up located in the membrane.
