  2. Last universal common ancestor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_universal_common_ancestor

    The last universal common ancestor (LUCA) is the hypothesized common ancestral cell from which the three domains of life, the Bacteria, the Archaea, and the Eukarya originated. The cell had a lipid bilayer; it possessed the genetic code and ribosomes which translated from DNA or RNA to proteins.

  4. Cell biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_biology

    Category. v. t. e. Cell biology (also cellular biology or cytology) is a branch of biology that studies the structure, function, and behavior of cells. [1][2] All living organisms are made of cells. A cell is the basic unit of life that is responsible for the living and functioning of organisms. [3] Cell biology is the study of the structural ...

  5. Promoter (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promoter_(genetics)

    As promoters are typically immediately adjacent to the gene in question, positions in the promoter are designated relative to the transcriptional start site, where transcription of DNA begins for a particular gene (i.e., positions upstream are negative numbers counting back from -1, for example -100 is a position 100 base pairs upstream).

  6. Adenosine triphosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_triphosphate

    At cytoplasmic conditions, where the ADP/ATP ratio is 10 orders of magnitude from equilibrium, the ΔG is around −57 kJ/mol. [12] Along with pH, the free energy change of ATP hydrolysis is also associated with Mg 2+ concentration, from ΔG°' = −35.7 kJ/mol at a Mg 2+ concentration of zero, to ΔG°' = −31 kJ/mol at [Mg 2+ ] = 5 mM.

  7. GTPase-activating protein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTPase-activating_protein

    GTPase-activating proteins or GTPase-accelerating proteins (GAPs) are a family of regulatory proteins whose members can bind to activated G proteins and stimulate their GTPase activity, with the result of terminating the signaling event. [1] GAPs are also known as RGS protein, or RGS proteins, [2] and these proteins are crucial in controlling ...

  8. Cyclin-dependent kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclin-dependent_kinase

    A cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CKI) is a protein that interacts with a cyclin-CDK complex to inhibit kinase activity, often during G1 phase or in response to external signals or DNA damage. In animal cells, two primary CKI families exist: the INK4family (p16, p15, p18, p19) and the CIP/KIPfamily (p21, p27, p57).

  9. DNA annotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_annotation

    DNA annotation is classified into two categories: structural annotation, which identifies and demarcates elements in a genome, and functional annotation, which assigns functions to these elements. [ 7 ] This is not the only way in which it has been categorized, as several alternatives, such as dimension-based [ 8 ] and level-based ...
