The distinction between graduate school and professional school is somewhat like the distinction between basic science and applied science; the differences lie in the focus. In graduate school, students focus primarily on mastering a particular field of study.
Protein deglycase DJ-1, also known as Parkinson disease protein 7, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the PARK7 gene.ARK7 belongs to the peptidase C56 family of proteins. The protein structures of human protein DJ-1, Escherichia coli chaperone Hsp31 and an Archaea protease are evolutionarily conserved.
A point mutation, the 677 CâT, in the MTHFR gene renders the enzyme thermolabile and less active (8 ). Homozygosity (TT) for this mutation is common (10â18% in Caucasian populations) and is associated with mild hyperhomocysteinemia, particularly in subjects with low levels of plasma folate (9 ).
