2). This unique mechanism of gene evolution has also been described in the sodium channel targeting Nv1 toxin family of sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis (Moran et al., 2008), and is theorized to facilitate an increase in toxin secretion. Studies investigating the evolutionary history of this...
Mygalomorph venom properties and active components, which have importance in medicine, agronomy, venomics, ecology and evolution, have been widely studied, but only a small fraction have been characterised. Several studies have shown inter-individual variation in the composition of venom peptides base...
At the most fundamental level, diamonds are composed of carbon atoms. Carbon is a unique element because it has four valence electrons, which allows it to form strong covalent bonds with other carbon atoms. This is why carbon can exist in a variety of forms, including graphite, graphene, and...
