Phase And Vertical Shift. Phase and vertical shift refer to the transfer of a function in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. For the function , where A, B, C, and D are constants, the phase shift is defined as C/B. If the phase shift is positive, the shift occurs to the left; if the phase shift is negative, the shift occurs to the right.
So it is possible that a whole food meal will have a different impact on the duration of protein synthesis than pure amino acids. Our lab has recently shown that the duration of protein synthesis in response to a complete meal containing protein, carbohydrates, and fats is approximately 3 hours long. Therefore, it appears that a complete meal slightly prolongs the duration of protein synthesis.
Protein synthesis is a biological process that allows individual cells to build specific proteins. Both DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)and RNA (ribonucleic acids) are involved in the process, which is initiated in the cell's nucleus. The actual process of protein synthesis takes place in the cell cytoplasm, and it occurs on multiple ribosomes simultaneously. Continue Reading.
