Lab Techniques and muscle contraction Flashcards
1
Q
What is muscle plasticity?
A
Changes in gene expression and protein synthesis are related to the contractile demand
2
Q
What does western blotting show?
A
It allows the identification of a specific protein
3
Q
What does histology show?
A
Histology allows the study of protein location
4
Q
What does PCR allow?
A
It allows analysis of the genes present in the genome
5
Q
What does RT-PCR allow?
A
Allows analysis of expressed genes
6
Q
What is proteomics?
A
The study of proteins expressed by a genome, allows the analysis of genetic/environmental factors in health and disease
7
Q
What part of the sarcomere shortens during contraction?
A
The I band
