Thinking future

Reading a book on neuroscience now.

I came to know that the front part of the brain >>>Frontal region is responsible for future thinking, you mayt call it planning and also for past memories.

How to remeber essential amino acids>>>>>

.
"VIM TALL PaTH"
Now start with the letters
(1) V - valine.
(2) I - Isoleucine.
(3) M - Methionine.
(4) T - Tryptophan.
(5) A - Arginine*.
(6) L - Leucine.
(7) L - Lysine.
(8) Pa - Phenyl alanine.
(9) T -Threonine.
(10)H - Histidine*.
Remember that no. 5/10 are semi essential AA.( MARKED WITH *)
THATS ALL
GOOD LUCK

Dear IIK members,
Greetings! We have recently got approval from Korean Govt. for USD 6 million per year to exchange Korean students with foreign students at undergraduate level for research training in Animal Biotechnology with major focus in Reproduction, Genetic Engineering, Stem cells, Xenotransplantation , Food technology, and Proteomics. About 20 students would be exchanged during summer or winter vacation and all
expenses would be covered under the program. Being in the Board of Directors, I have the privilege and responsibility to collaborate with international universities and establish MOU. Currently, we have proposals from China, Singapore, Vietnam and Philippines but I would like to take more students from India. However, I am
concerned, whether Indian universities would be able to give a quality exposure to Korean students and justify the exchange of Indian students? My concern is particularly because my Korean students are technically very sound and have handled high-tech equipments that we even could imagine in many of our Indian
universities. Therefore, I would appreciate, if any of IIK members working in Korean universities can recommend the name of Indian universities that may b approached.

Magic Of thinking Big GO TO SINGAPORE

Singaopre attracts a huge amount of investment in lifescience sector.The advantage is that it is a global hot spot .I will be collecting more information when I will be visiting the institute at the end of the year.


I was reading this information on the web.............

Summer training programme and research opportunities at TLL,Sinapore
Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory (TLL) is a non-profit organization.
TLL is affiliated to the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University. It is located within the campus of the National University of Singapore.It allows students (graduate/Undergraduate ) to take up summer training in its institution and provides research programmes leading to Ph.d.,.

Rna Interferance:::::::::::::

new drug discovery field called RNA interference is hot, these days.



According to current theory, small snippets of RNA with just the right sequence should be able to interfere with the expression (translation) of genes with the corresponding complementary nucleotide sequence. Drug companies are racing to find the RNA sequences that would inactivate specific disease-causing genes. Presumably the therapeutic effect would be highly specific, since only certain genes would be inactivated. But is that how the RNA interference drugs currently under development actually work? New evidence just published online in Nature on March 26 (doi:10.1038/nature06783) suggests that the drugs may be working by a much more general mechanism – activation of the immune system. If so, the drugs may have side effects that have not yet been considered. The findings were such a surprise that the stock prices of small companies working on RNA interference drugs went down briefly.The Nature article is for experts only. For students, I suggest the more general New York Times article published online on Apr. 2 (“Study is Setback for Some RNA-Based Drugs”, http://nytimes.com/2008/04/02/business/02place.html).

New discovery about photosynthesis---


Photosynthesis -
The most important biological process on Earth. Photosynthesis by plants, algae, and some bacteria supports nearly all living things by producing food from sunlight, and in the process these organisms release oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide.
But research always bring something new and exciting
You know scientist have discovered that Certain marine microorganisms have evolved a way to break the rules , This doing different kind of microbes are DOing photosynthesis in new way they have stopped uptake of co2 and release of oxygen.
. This discovery impacts not only researchers basic understanding of photosynthesis, but importantly, it may also impact how microorganisms in the oceans affect rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
Cynobacteria
(formerly blue-green algae). These single-celled organisms dominate phytoplankton populations over much of the worlds oceans and are important contributors to global primary productivity. scientists wanted to understand how cynobacteria could thrive in the iron-poor waters that cover large areas of the ocean, since certain activities of normal photosynthesis require high levels of iron. While others had suggested a potential role of oxygen as accepting electrons from the photosynthetic apparatus in place of carbon dioxide, the studies by research group show that this activity is significant in the oligotrophic (nutrient-poor) oceans, which cover about half the oceans area.........
