A Review on Effect of Fluoxetine on Human Brain
Abstract: Fluoxetine is a frequently prescribed antidepressant drug that primarily affects the neurotransmitter system of the human brain. Fluoxetine affects the brain by preventing serotonin from being reabsorbed, which raises the concentration of serotonin in the synaptic cleft. In numerous neuronal circuits across the brain, serotonin, a neurotransmitter linked to mood regulation and emotional stability, is essential. By inhibiting the serotonin transporter, fluoxetine increases serotonin transfer and promotes neurotransmission in these …

Understanding the Molecular Mechanisms of Proteases in Bioprocessing: A Review on the Future of the Food Industry
Abstract: Proteases are enzymes that break down proteins through peptide bond catalysis. A protease is a single polypeptide chain of some 250 amino acids and is devoid of sulfhydryl groups. The COOH-terminal tryptic peptide of the protease molecule contains some 43 residues. Because of this unique structure and mechanism, they play a crucial role in the Bioprocessing industry, especially in food processing applications. Herein, the sources of proteases are discussed as …

A Review on Junk DNA
Abstract: For many years, although being incredibly catchy, the term junk DNA discouraged mainstream scientists from exploring noncoding genetic material. Among humans, the DNA that actually codes for protein synthesis is 2% only. Hence, the noncoding region of genome is then termed Junk DNA. The junk DNA component is drastically different. Hence at the time of investigating the role of satellite DNA for the fertility and survival in pure species, the …
