Fermentation: equations for the breakdown of glucose

What are the equations for the breakdown of glucose to i.CO2 and water ii.lactic acid iii.alcohol

protein degradation

In addition to protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, protein degradation also plays key role in regulating signal transduction pathways and cell proliferation. Please answer the following questions: (1). Please give one example to describe how protein degradation regulates signal transduction pathway; (2) Please give another example to describe how protein degradation affects cell proliferation. (3). Do you think targeting protein degradation process could be an effective cancer therapeutic strategy? If your answer is YES, please describe which protein involving protein degradation process could be a good drug target for cancer therapy and how to design the drug target... click for more

Fermentation

What is the purpose of ferementation after glycolysis? and.. Why use starved starved yeast rather than sugar fed yeasts for fermentation?

cell to cell contact

Electrical coupling requires Ion flow. FOr cardiac muscle cells to contract in unision, there must be electrical coupling between cells. What type of cell to cell contact is most likley responsible for this coupling? What cell to cell junctions connect epithelial cells to a basment membrane

GAP JUNCTIONS

As multicellular organisms decelop from embryo to adults, gap junctions are made and broken in specific patterns, involving specific tissues. This suggests that these junctions play an important role in signalling between cells during embryonic development. A) With the understanding of Gap junctions, speculate on what sorts of signalling molecules might be involved in this kind of development (protein, ions, DNA, small molecules.. etc.) B) What is different between the different cell types of a multicellular organisms? What then is the purpose of the intracellular signalling that occurs during development.?
