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...

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...
