Nuclear respiratory factor 1 – Confusion has occurred in bibliographic databases due to the shared symbol of NRF1 for this gene and for “nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 1” which has an official symbol of NFE2L1
Nuclear respiratory factor 1 local links Nuclear respiratory factor 1, also known as Nrf1, Nrf-1, NRF1 and NRF-1, encodes a protein that homodimerizes and functions as a tr
Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is a pathway that repairs double-strand breaks in DNA. NHEJ is active in both non-dividing and proliferating cells.
Non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) is a pathway that repairs double-strand breaks in DNA. It is called “non-homologous” because the break ends are directly ligated
Ku is a dimeric protein complex that binds to DNA double-strand break ends and is required for the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway of DNA repair
Ku is evolutionarily conserved from bacteria to humans. The ancestral bacterial Ku is a homodimer (two copies of the same protein bound to each other).[2] Eukaryotic Ku is a he
Transferrins
Transferrins are not limited to only binding to iron but also to different metal ions.
Adenosine
Adenosine (symbol A) is an organic compound that occurs widely in nature in the form of diverse derivatives. The molecule consists of an adenine attac
What is Immunoprecipitation (IP)?
Immunoprecipitation (IP) is a technique used to enrich protein antigens from a complex mixture using specific antibodies. To carry out an IP, antibodies must be coupled to a solid
Histones
In biology, histones are highly basic proteins abundant in lysine and arginine residues that are found in eukaryotic cell nuclei. They act as spools around which DNA
Heterochromatin
Heterochromatin is a tightly packed form of DNA or condensed DNA, which comes in multiple varieties. These varieties lie on a continuum between the two extremes
