KEGG

Aim

To retrieve the “cysteine metabolism “ from Oryza savita

Description

KEGG (Koyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes ) is a database resource for understanding high level functions and utilities of the biological system, such as the cell, the organism and the ecosystem, from genomic and molecular level information. The most unique data object in KEGG is the molecular networks – molecular interaction, reaction and relation and relation networks representing systemic functions   of the cell and the organism .The KEGG database has been in development by Kanehisa Laboratories since 1995,and is now a prominent reference knowledge base for integration and interpretation of large –scale molecular sets generated by genome sequencing and other high-throughput experimental technologies.

Procedure

STEP 1: Access  https://www.genome.jp/kegg/

STEP 2: Select KEGG pathway

STEP 3: Enter organism name and “cysteine metabolism” as keyword

STEP 4: Click go

STEP 5: Click on accessions in pathway

STEP 6: Select on image from “Thumbnail” image and click on it

Result

Cysteine metabolic pathway of Oryza savita was retrieved.

Cell membrane /Plasma membrane

Image
    Plasma membrane or cell membrane Plasma membrane or cell membrane is a dynamic , fluid structure and forms external boundary of the cell. It acts as a selective permeable membrane and regulates molecular traffic across the boundary. Plasma membrane behaves as a capacitor. In absence of integral membrane proteins, plasma membrane have similar electrical properties. The non conductive lipid bilayer of the membrane separates the conductive extracellular and intracellular electrolyte solutions. This results in the separation of charge across the lipid bilayer and this charge separation   brings about an electrical potential difference across the bilayer which is referred to as membrane potential. Different models are: Overton model The Overton model, (1899)  proposed by Charles Overton, suggests that the plasma membrane is primarily composed of lipids, and its permeability is largely determined by the lipid solubility of substances. This model is based...

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE)

Image
  Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) Spongiform encephalopathies (SEs) are degenerative disorders of the brain that occur in a number of species. They are recognized by the clinical appearance of the affected animal and the characteristic histological changes they produce in the brain.  One of the common Spongiform encephalopathy is Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE),which mainly affect cattle. Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), widely referred to as “mad cow disease,” is a progressive and fatal neurologic disease of cattle. It is caused by  an unconventional transmissible agent, an abnormal prion protein . "Bovine" means that the disease affects cows, "spongiform" refers to the way the brain from a sick cow looks spongy under a microscope, and "encephalopathy" indicates that it is a disease of the brain. The infection spreads to cattle by the practice of feeding them abattoir waste and offal which may have contained scrapie infected meat. ...

Biological databases

 Biological databases A database is a computerized archive used to store and organize data in such a way that information can be retrieved easily via a variety of search criteria. Databases are composed of computer hardware and software for data management. The chief objective of the development of a database is to organize data in a set of structured records to enable easy retrieval of information. Each record, also called an entry, should contain a number of fields that hold the actual data items, for example, fields for names, phone numbers, addresses, dates. To retrieve a particular record from the database, a user can specify a particular piece of information, called value , to be found in a particular field and expect the computer to retrieve the whole data record. This process is called making a query. Biological databases are  libraries of biological sciences, collected from scientific experiments, published literature, high-throughput experiment technology, and compu...
