Enzymes are made up of amino acids, which in turn are constructed from organic compounds called proteins. About 20 amino acids make up the building blocks of the many thousands of known enzymes. The beauty of an enzyme is that it speeds up complex, life-sustaining reactions in the human bod...
Reaction engineeringA virtual laboratory has been developed to support chemical reaction engineering courses. Real-life engineering challenges that are difficult to address in a university laboratory give the opportunity to illustrate basic concepts of chemical reaction engineering such as the relationship ...
If we are using green technology, our expansion into the universe is not just an expansion of men and machines. It is an expansion of all life, making use of man's brain for her own purposes. When life invades a new habitat, she never moves with a single species. She comes with a ...
Ideal Gases have the following properties: The volume of the individual particles of a gas are insignificant compared to the volume of the gas. Collisions of particles are elastic. There are no intermolecular forces between the particles of a gas. Answer...
was used to maximize clarity by changing the color of the diaminobenzidine (DAB) reaction deposit. Antibodies used were (i) Lamin A/C 1/200, mouse (ab49721, Abcam); (ii) UCHL1, 3 μg/ml, rabbit (LS-B489/9526, Lifespan Biosciences), (iii) PD1A3 (ERP57); 1:1000 rabbit (ab...
A natural chemical in grapefruit can increase blood levels of Viagra, and Viagra doesn't have an effect on blood vessels. Men still need to do that the old-fashioned way. How's your sex life? Could it use a little boost? If so, there are some habits you can adopt to improve your ...
and chemical reactivity5, to name just a few examples. Many of the pressing efforts today have been devoted to increasing the efficiency and accuracy of electronic-structure methods that deliver reliable molecular quantities, such as energetic or response properties. However, this has resulted in an...
Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is the ability to monitor the progress of the PCR as it occurs (i.e., in real time). Data is therefore collected throughout the PCR process, rather than at the end of the PCR. This completely revolutionizes the way one approaches PC...
Among the energy storage devices for applications in electric vehicles and stationary uses, lithium batteries typically deliver high performance. However, there is still a missing link between the engineering developments for large-scale batteries and th
Membrane proteins govern critical cellular processes and are central to human health and associated disease. Understanding of membrane protein function is
