Whether or not a molecule is polar depends entirely upon the polarity of the bonds found in a given compound and some parameters of these bonds. But before delving into how to to determine polarity, here is a quick explanation of polarity What Makes Something Polar? A molecule is polar if ...
When we consider other liquids, more factors help to determine the boiling point. Chief among them is the strength of the bonds between molecules. Ethyl alcohol, for example has a boiling point of 78.5 degrees Celsius at sea level. It is a liquid at room temperature and the bonds between i...
Molecular methods of species delineation are rapidly developing and widely considered as fast and efficient means to discover species and face the 'taxonomic impediment’ in times of biodiversity crisis. So far, however, this form of DNA taxonomy frequently remains incomplete, lacking the final step ...
How Symmetrical Molecules Can Induce Polarity: On the Paradox of Dilutiondoi:10.1021/cg0342563Thomas WuestClaire GervaisJuerg Hulliger
Validation and selection of primary screening assays are pivotal to guarantee sound selection of extracts or molecules with relevant pharmacological action and worthy following-up. Primary bioassays are generally designed for rapid screening of large numbers of products or extracts. They are simple, easy...
These faster-movingmoleculesmove into the surrounding air. For a moment, the region next to the drumhead has a greater-than-normal concentration of air molecules — it becomes a region of compression. As the faster-moving molecules overtake the air molecules in the surrounding air, they collide...
; (B) The main reason why we would like to control living systems is to control how one cell behaves and in this way, determine what it does e.g. differentiation. The tools to achieve such fates are only beginning to come of age. In this review, some of the most innova...
it can be inferred that these synonymous mutations caused a portion of the soluble protein molecules to shift into a misfolded ensemble with decreased activity. Many other examples of this phenomenon exist. The ability of soluble FREQUENCY (FRQ) protein to bind to its partner protein ‘White Colla...
This wouldn't be very helpful, except the polarity of electromagnets depends on the direction of current flow. Pass electric current in one direction, and the magnet's north pole will be on one side; reverse the current flow, and the north pole will be on the opposite side. In motors, ...
The power distribution grid delivers electricity from a power plant to your house. Inside your house, the electric charge moves in a large circuit, which is composed of many smaller circuits. One end of the circuit, the hot wire, leads to the power plant. The other end, called the neutral...
