inhibition Definition and 11 Threads

I may mess up this question, and this is not my strong field of knowledge. I am wanting to understand different ways of genes not expressing themselves. So far I have come across two ways this happens (perhaps there are more?) - "transcription factors that inhibit gene transcription" - "genes...

Is there steric inhibition of resonance effect acting on acetate ion of acetic acid by which it breaks the equivalent resonance of COO group and destabilize the acetate ion? Please help me to understand this

Homework Statement According to my textbook (Organic Chemistry by Solomon & Fryhle) "When an o-substituted aniline is protonated (at the N), increase of H-N-H bond angle leads to steric hindrance with the group at the o-position. This makes this protonated conjugate acid unstable and makes the...

Homework Statement I have this mixed inhibition, and knowing that it is a thermodynamic cycle i am asked to find the relation between the different Ki and Ks...

It it being debated whether Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT)/Coherent Population Trapping (CPT) can stop a molecule from gaining an electron. I want now, in this thread, to turn to the possibility of creating transparency/trapping in a molecule that would either suppress...

Good day to everyone, I was reading up earlier on Low Latent InhibitionMy question is does anyone have any idea or knowledge of a test available at the moment. They have already tested students from Harvard Here's the source...

lets say an enzyme is inhibited by something binding to its allosteric site. what effect would this have on the enzymes Km and Vmax?

In reference to the inhibitor oligomycin from the electron transport chain, is this chemical found in any commercial products? Thank you.

Can anyone explain the difference between latent inhibition and negative priming - in the context of psychology and learning, not neurobiology? I can't find much information on either, but I can hazard a definition of latent inhibition: when pre-exposure to a non-reinforced stimulus retards the...

Just a few questions on female hormones: 1) When an egg is fertilised, Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG) is released by the placental trophoplast, but what exactly is the stimulation for the secretion? (e.g. secretion of oestrogen is stimulated by LH and FSH) 2) Similarly, which hormones...

An interesting concept worth sharing: knocking a gene out in an organism.. how to do that.. now, dsRNA is used in the process. Eukaryotic organisms don’t have dsRNA (double stranded) only ssRNA. Some virusses though, DO have dsRNA. A eucaryotic organisms reacts to dsRNA by inhibiting the...
