AI Thread Summary
Chemokines are linked to various diseases, including Alzheimer's disease and autoimmune disorders. Specific studies highlight their role in conditions such as coronary artery disease. For research projects involving chemokines, docking studies and molecular dynamics simulations using tools like AMBER or GROMACS are suggested to analyze energy profiles of chemokine interactions. Access to relevant literature, such as articles on chemokines and disease, is essential for understanding their metabolic pathways and biological functions. The KEGG database may not provide comprehensive information on chemokines, indicating a need for alternative resources or literature to support research efforts.

What are the diseases realated to chemokines ??
I couldn't find anything about it on KEGG database!
 
Biology news on Phys.org

Any idea How and what to start with ??
 
You should check the following paper

Thanks
I got only single paper from that journal. But that's a good start.
Where can i get about the information in metabolic pathways?
I couldn't find Chemokines in KEGG or may be i didnt know where to find in that.

Thread 'I need help understanding this quote about recent Natural Selection'

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
