"We're looking specifically at how stiff the membrane is, how thick it is and how those molecules behave next to each other," said UWindsor graduate researcher Dominik Dziura. "The thought is that a healthymembranewill be flexible and move like it's supposed to, binding to other receptors ...
1) How strong bonds are between two molecules, and 2) How many such bonds two molecules can make. While nearly any two atoms can stick a little bit to an other, some subgroups of atoms, or "functions", make much stronger intermolecular forces, while just HC skeletons don't. Have you ...
for measuring and comparing relative molecular flux rates of different biological molecules by administering isotope-labeled water to one or more tissues or individuals and comparing the molecular flux rates of two or more biological molecules, including biological molecules in different chemical classes. ...
SNARE proteins – small protein molecules that reside in theplasma membraneand vesicle membrane − are responsible for the fusion process itself. Whenever the membranes approach each other, the proteins stack on top of each other, twisting together like ropes in the direction of the membrane (Fig...
science illiteracy, especially when it comes to chemistry," he explains in an email interview. "Sodium tetraborate (borax) is perfectly safe when used as directed, and it's one of the only chemicals known to link together long chains of glue molecules to make the traditional glue-based slime...
diffusible molecules called autoinducers. When the cell population reaches a critical threshold (a quorum), these autoinducers initiate a cascade of reactions that activate genes associated with cellular functions that are beneficial only when the population reaches a critical density. For example, in ...

Cannabinoids— the molecules in cannabis like THC and CBD — interact with receptors throughout the body and brain, including in the pelvic region. Cannabis also appears to be avasodilator, which means it opens the blood vessels. That results inincreased blood flowto the genitals, which isassoci...
Explain how small RNA (sRNAs) molecules can regulate the translation of a piece of mRNA. What are functions of the three types of RNA? 1- mRNA. 2- tRNA. 3- rRNA. How does the primary transcript (pre-mRNA) in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell compare to the functional mRNA? Compare ...
If you are comparing molecules to determine which has the higher boiling point, consider the forces that are at work within the molecule. These can be grouped into the following three factors. Factor 1: Intermolecular Forces The molecules within the liquid are attracted to each other. There are...
