Biotoons
are brief animated depictions (cartoons) of molecular mechanisms
described in bioscience chapters. Users can capture images for
their research and review papers, book chapters, teaching presentations.
The
following are a few sample Biotoons. To view the animated versions
you must have Macromedia's
Flash Player installed on your computer.

Activation
Activation
by platelet-derived growth factor receptor subfamily involves
src-family protein tyrosine kinase in leukocytes.

Myristoylation
Myristoylation
of src-family protein tyrosine kinase is required for anchoring
the PTK to the intracellular portion of the plasma membrane.

Structure
of CD45
CD45
is a transmembrane PTK and remove the phosphate from the negative
regulatory tyrosine residue from the src-family PTKs in leukocytes. |
