Nader Rahimi
Nader Rahimi (born December 22, 1963) is a Molecular Biologist and is currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Boston University. Education Nader Rahimi received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from the University of Toronto in 1991 and received his Ph.D. from Queen's University, Kingston, Canada in 1996. He completed his postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School in the fields of signal transduction and angiogenesis. Career Nader Rahimi has extensively published in the field of signal transduction by receptor tyrosine kinases in particular VEGF receptor tyrosine kinases. His notable works include demonstration of differential function of VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 in angiogenesis, identification of lysine methylation as a novel mechanism of activation of VEGFR-2, establishing protein ubiquitination as a major pathway modulating the angiogenic signaling of VEGFR-2. He is also responsible for the discover ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Protein
Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including catalysing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, responding to stimuli, providing structure to cells and organisms, and transporting molecules from one location to another. Proteins differ from one another primarily in their sequence of amino acids, which is dictated by the nucleotide sequence of their genes, and which usually results in protein folding into a specific 3D structure that determines its activity. A linear chain of amino acid residues is called a polypeptide. A protein contains at least one long polypeptide. Short polypeptides, containing less than 20–30 residues, are rarely considered to be proteins and are commonly called peptides. The individual amino acid residues are bonded together by peptide bonds and adjacent amino acid residues. The sequence of amino acid residue ...

Gene
In biology, the word gene (from , ; "...Wilhelm Johannsen coined the word gene to describe the Mendelian units of heredity..." meaning ''generation'' or ''birth'' or ''gender'') can have several different meanings. The Mendelian gene is a basic unit of heredity and the molecular gene is a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that is transcribed to produce a functional RNA. There are two types of molecular genes: protein-coding genes and noncoding genes. During gene expression, the DNA is first copied into RNA. The RNA can be directly functional or be the intermediate template for a protein that performs a function. The transmission of genes to an organism's offspring is the basis of the inheritance of phenotypic traits. These genes make up different DNA sequences called genotypes. Genotypes along with environmental and developmental factors determine what the phenotypes will be. Most biological traits are under the influence of polygenes (many different genes) as well as gen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
