Post translation modifications(molecular biology)IndrajaDoradla
description of post translation modifications which include folding,proteolytic clevage and chemical modification and protein splicing and protein degradation
Hello everyone, I am Dr. Ujwalkumar Trivedi, Head of Biotechnology Department at Marwadi University Rajkot. I teach Molecular Biology to the students of M.Sc. Microbiology and Biotechnology.
The current presentation talks about the types of mutations, various mutagens and their mechanism of mutagenesis. The later part of the presentation describes various DNA repair mechanisms.
The present ppt is covers all aspects of protein translation in bacteria as well as in eukaryotes. It also includes a brief introduction to ribosomes and tRNA which are among the key components of the translation machinery.
A transposable element (TE or transposon) is a DNA sequence that can change its position within a genome, sometimes creating or reversing mutations and altering the cell's genome size.
Transposition often results in duplication of the TE.
Barbara McClintock's discovery of these jumping genes earned her a Nobel Prize in 1983.
Transposable elements make up a large fraction of the genome and are responsible for much of the C-value of eukaryotic cells.

Deleterious alleles have played an important role in the evolution of maize and teosinte. Although they vary in their strength and effect across populations or environments, such mutations have played a role in local adaptation in teosinte, the accumulation of load during domestication and dispersal of maize, local adaptation of maize landraces, and ultimately in hybrid vigor for agronomic traits in breeding programs.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
7. What about Sequencing Errors?
Each character in a read comes with a “phred score”:
−10 · log10(pwrong), where pwrong is the probability that a
position has been wrongly sequenced
Given the genotype, this implies we have a (Bernoulli)
distribution for each position in a read
T G C A C20 10 30 15 5 0 1 0 0 120 10 30 15 5
(0.316, 0.684)
