Do various CLINICIANS need to monitor Sirtuin 1 gene expression and plasma Sirtuin 1 levels with relevance to various drug therapies in patients?
Specific genes that are involved in anti-aging and epigenetics are sensitive to nutritional regulation, oxidative stress and the development of insulin resistance that can result from changes in cellular chromatin, DNA methylation and histone modifications with relevance to the global chronic disease epidemic. The defective gene in the global chronic disease epidemic has now been linked to the anti-aging gene Sirtuin 1. Nutritional regulation of Sirtuin 1 is critical to nuclear...

Should a big research (e.g., PhD) be published as one comprehensive high-impact paper or several smaller, faster publications?
Should a big study perhaps a PhD student’s research be published as one comprehensive, high-impact paper or split into several smaller, focused publications? A single major paper can offer a cohesive, in-depth contribution with broader impact, but may delay dissemination. Multiple smaller papers can communicate findings more quickly and stimulate ongoing research, yet may lack the unified context of a larger work. What choice is the best - having a comprehensive paper in high impact journals...

What is the most important research material in protein bioinformatics? 1. Protein sequence 2. Protein structure 3. Protein-related Software 4. A high-speed computer
A protein's sequence contains its intrinsic properties as a code. Nobel laureate scientist, C. B. Anfinsen proved it through experiments. Unlike sequence, since structures are man-made and obtained under different laboratory conditions, they may contain human error. Further, unlike nucleic acid, to date, the protein-folding code is unknown. So, in my opinion the study of protein sequence is primary. It is better if one can include structure study with it. But little can be said about this...
