would you believe that we have clones amongst us ?

Yes! Twins infact share the same genetic materials hence are clones. Developed from same set of chromosomes that split after fertilization of the ovum. They also share most physical attributes. Can you trace the genetic transfer?

The picture to your right show twin girls..but this happens probably one in a million. Epigenetic modification? this is something else. Read same difference http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20050709/fob1.asp

How do they clone cells or organisms. http://www.dnalc.org/cloning.html

So why clone? For medical purposes; cloning animal models for disease, cloning stem cells for research and pharmimg for drug production. and Cloning extinct animals ala Jurassic park? Theoritically yes for so long as the genetic material is preserved well. Some recently extinct species were cloned!

How about human cloning? There are ethical, legal and social issues to consider.

coal fired power plant- mechanics

so much talk about coal fired power plant but as Fr Celiz has mentioned most people would just like to take a 'hitch ride' without a basic knowledge of what the issue is all about..

glutathione supplement- is it what it is?

master antioxidant? coming soon....

human beings to live for 120 years??!!

Before it is calorie restriction. Some animal studies conducted over the past 20 years have shown up to a 40% increase in maximum life span. CR also provides numerous secondary health benefits, such as a greatly lowered risk for most degenerative conditions of aging.
Since the discovery of the longevity genes- SIR genes or the 'silent information regulator' gene a decade ago, its only now that David Sinclair of Harvard School of Medicine has found a way to activate these genes resulting in production of an enzyme deacetylase.
http://www.supercentenarian.com/archive/longevity-genes.html
Deacetylase would remove acetyl group from histones in the chromosome resulting in ”choking off” of the chromosome making it 'silent '. It is in this state that life span is increased.
How can SIR genes be activated ? Resveratrol , a molecule that can be found in grapes, blue berries and other plants is the key. Must we then be drinking red wine? Sinclaire admits we may start drinking 'few bottles' a day but we will not have the desired effect!
Sinclair is now trying to develop a drug that would do the job. Other than that, no caloric restriction is necessary. NO DIETING NEEDED!! Coming in the next 5 years?

just what is phosphorylation

by PHOSPHORYLATION... adding a phosphate to ADP ADP + P ------> ATP

a) substrate level phosphorylation... where a substrate molecule ( X-p )
donates its P to ADP making ATP

b) chemiosmosis –
[Oxidative Phosphorylation of Krebs cycle & ETC]... food substrates donate e- &
protons to acceptor molecules [NADH], i.e., oxidation.
NADH gives up electrons & protons
are pumped out of mitochondria (or the chloroplasts in photosynthesis);
protons diffuse back into mito thru an enzyme - ATPase, the ATPase enzyme makes ADP + P --> ATP

Hi! Welcome to my blog. I hope we could make great use of this system in pursuing our quest for information on various subjects that we have to deal with and maybe increasing chances of passing physiology and micropathology.
