Succinic acid (SA) is one of the top platform chemicals with huge applications in diverse sectors. The presence of two carboxylic acid groups on the terminal carbon atoms makes SA a highly functional molecule that can be derivatized into a wide range of products. The biological route for SA p...
The molecular makeup of ODGF was thus similar to that of platelet-derived growth factor. 125 I-ODGF could be precipitated by an antibody to platelet-derived growth factor, indicating that the two factors were immunologically related. Resemblance with platelet-derived growth factor was also ...
material,stuff- the tangible substance that goes into the makeup of a physical object; "coal is a hard black material"; "wheat is the stuff they use to make bread" reactant- a chemical substance that is present at the start of a chemical reaction ...
up various ones from differing brands, finding that a majority either contained at least one of the aforementioned parabens if not all four. I had no idea what parabens were and why they were so common in such a variety of products, ranging from shampoos to lotions to makeup. I did ...
Chemical contaminationof water by heavy metals is a serious problem due to its potential toxicity on humans, and its environmental impacts, which requires attention, investigation and action. Therefore the development of technologies that can effectively eliminate toxic pollutants in wastewater, by relying...
These kinds of fundamental studies have opened new avenues to implement metabolic engineering strategies using CRISPR–Cas system wherein little is known about the genetic makeup of organism and it displays weak DNA repair ability besides lack of expression plasmids and promoters for expressing guided ...
From this animal study, and unpublished work in humans, the team expects that gum SCCs in humans play a similar role in regulating the makeup of the oral microbiome, notes coauthor Xin Zheng, a dental science researcher from the National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, West Chi...
A physical change is when the physical properties of a substance have changed, but the make up (formula) of the substance does not change. For example, water changing to ice is a physical change. The physical properties of ice (such as density, hardness, index of refraction) are different...
There are two types of methionine: L-methionine (naturally occurring and usually found in supplements) and D-methionine. Each contains the same chemical makeup, but the molecules are mirror images. A mixture of the two is called DL-methionine. D-methionine and L-methionine differ in the ...
(A nanogram is equivalent to 1 billionth of a gram.) Another chemical group in food packaging that has migrated into people is phthalates, the research revealed. Found in shampoo, makeup, perfume and children’s toys as well as food containers, phthalates have been linked with genital ...
