...that proteins that are not water-soluble tend to clump together, thereby diminishing the ability of each protein to function. When the residues of these GFP proteins are positively charged, however, they have the ability to penetrate cell walls. Additionally, these super-charged proteins demonstrated the ability to carry nucleic, and even genomic, material into cells if the material was negatively charged...
...things that confuse human beings, perhaps nothing trips us up so much as what it means for something to be simple or complex. A houseplant, with its microhydraulics, fine-tuned metabolism and dense schematic of nucleic acids, may be more complex than a manufacturing plant. A modern army, with its thicket of bureaucracy and static encampments, may be simpler than a nimble guerrilla group. A guppy, with its symphony of biological systems and subsystems, is vastly more complicated than a star...
Most clinics in sub-saharan Africa, where 22.5 million people are HIV positive, cannot afford the equipment and personnel to perform the high-tech procedure, known as nucleic acid testing, Lopez said...
...Nucleic acid testing identifies the amount of HIV in a blood sample and can deliver results as early as a week after infection...
Enabling large-scale use of nucleic acid testing is critical since the majority of HIV transmissions occur during an acute spike in viral levels during the first three to nine weeks after infection, Lopez said...
