Within the departments of Physiology of the Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre and Organic Chemistry of the Radboud University Nijmegen we are seeking a PhD student for a collaborative research project.

 Maintenance of blood calcium (Ca2+) concentrations within a tight normal range is essential for ample physiological functions. The kidney is critically important in this process, where Ca2+ that enters the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed from the tubular system back into blood. We made two important discoveries in completing the molecular details of the renal Ca2+ homeostasis. First, we identified the epithelial Ca2+ channel (TRPV5) that is the target for hormonal control of Ca2+ flux from the urine space to the blood. Second, our studies unveiled a novel concept of regulation in which the extracellular exposed N-glycan of TRPV5 is essential to regulate channel activity. The urinary anti-aging hormone klotho is active as a β-glucuronidase and probably sialidase to cleave sugars from the N-glycan on TRPV5 resulting in enhanced channel activity (Science 310:490-493,2005). Glycoscience, the study of carbohydrates on the surface of proteins, is particularly relevant in the post-genomic era, as glycosylation is one of the main post-translational events. The importance of glycosylation in regulation of protein activity, cell signaling and development is only now becoming fully appreciated. This project aims to unravel the molecular mechanisms by which klotho and other glycolytic enzymes control the epithelial Ca2+ channel and therefore renal Ca2+ handling.

This collaborative project opens for the first time a way to study the functional regulation of TRPV5 by extracellular modification of the fused glycan. The recent expansion of glycobiology has provided many new, imaginative and efficient techniques that present further insight into the function and regulation of plasma membrane proteins like ion channels. Besides the implications of understanding TRPV5 function and the pathophysiology of Ca2+-related disorders, this new concept of channel regulation and the established experimental protocols will be applicable to the functional role of glycan structures on plasma membrane proteins in general.

I need something that’s light, portable and is at least 13″ in screen size. I’m not a gamer, so my computer will only be used for school work and web surfing. My friend’s friend is willing to sell me an almost brand new macbook for about $550ish, but it doesn’t have a warranty. Should I just buy the macbook or look for PC? Note: my budget is in between $500-600.

Wednesday I have a scholarship acceptance luncheon and I was wondering what should I wear? I want don’t to wound up being too dressy but casual and laid back at the same time. Fashionistas please help!

I think so because it’ll mean cheaper food,better,longer and more fulling lives.I believe Transhumanism is the answer after all. I mean after all,how many people whom are disabled really want to, at least deep down,want to be normal. As I believe Albert Einstein would have been even more smarter without his disabilities,aspergers included as well.

I’m a high school junior and i’m planning to take online physics over the summer so i don’t have to take it in my senior year. It is an 8 week course. I heard that there is a lot of math involved. i am currently in pre-cal right now. What kind of math is involved in physics? Is physics really hard? What about labs?
how are labs like?

Mathematics is the most important science but its foundation needs to be established reasonably and without any mistake. Which of the following items should be used to construct the foundation?

(1) Any set of man-made rules , such as the rules for the basketball game.

(2) Observations based on common sense, for example, a straight line can extend endlessly and two straight lines have only one intersection or have no intersection.

(3) Classification of real or imagined objects into sets. People can define the sets at will.

(4) Several axioms that can be tested constantly by common sense and extensive scientific experiments.

(5) The statements of a few famous mathematicians.

(6) none of the above.

I’m interested in doing a degree in Mathematics when I’m in university. But, I’m not sure what other subjects/courses I should take to do it.

I am B , A- student with lots of extra curricular activities, high level classes and average SAT scores of 1650, if that helps with college suggestions, i am taking a class now so suggestion with expectancy of SATS rising, i have been told pre-med, but im not sure, eventually i want to focus directly on type 1 diabetes

I’m currently majoring in Biotechnology and joining the army reserves.
i was thinking of 74D..chemical operation specilist. are there any other jobs that would be good for my major?
