Animals communicating in the context of mate searching benefit by increasing their likelihood of encountering mates. Mate searching begins the important process of individuals of opposite sexes forming pairs, which is ...

Messenger RNA translation is one of the most energy expensive steps in the process of gene expression and therefore translation regulation is critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis. In contrast to transcriptional ...

Colobines are group of primates known to inhabit harsh environments. These habitats pose different challenges which they have coped up physiologically and behaviourally. Primates in such environments are subjected to ...

A number of studies have established that DNA targeting is a successful strategy in anticancer therapy. In recent years, however, the focus has shifted from double-stranded DNA to alternative DNA motifs such as G-quadruplex ...

Recent studies have demonstrated the role of E. coli UvrD as a replicative helicase that facilitates replication of rolling circle plasmids. Along with dinG and rep helicase, UvrD a so-called “accessory helicase” removes ...

The detailed investigation on the embryo-endometrial cytokine expression, in both mouse and hamster, was carried out during the peri-hatching development and it is described in chapter 2. We hypothesize that, for a ...

Protein homeostasis in all organisms is a complex process involving regulatory mechanisms that govern protein synthesis, post-translational events and degradation. The protein degradation mechanism serves multiple functions ...
