One can thus see how a substance (monomer) with as small a molecular weight as 54 grows to become a giant molecular (polymer) of (54 × 4000 ≈)200000 molecular weight. It is essentially the 'giantness' of the size of the polymer molecule that makes its behavior different from that of...
New module: Molecule Cloud View The "Molecule Cloud View" module allows you to visualize a group of molecules as their respective van der Waals surfaces within 3D datasets, specifying their positions and orientations. To use this feature, you need a molecule template, such...
Once the APC comes in contact with a T cell expressing the corresponding TCR, the antigen-MHC complex will bind to the TCR and initiate the signaling cascade. This alone is not sufficient to activate most naïve cells and can cause a cell to become anergic, or unable to carry out an im...
The analysis of cellular ultrastructure is paramount for gaining a comprehensive understanding of cell functionality. By examining the intricate details within a cell, researchers can uncover the mechanisms that drive various cellular processes and functions. ...
This means that it is a large molecule composed of many smaller units bonded together. There are many grades of silicone. Cosmetic-grade silicones have a smooth, spreadable texture that is elegant and silky. Dimethicone, which is FDA-approved and non-comedogenic, is a highly desirable ingredient...
Deep ocean currents in oceans are caused by a large amount of sinking surface water. Surface water is the upper layer of water closest to the top surface. The sun can easily reach this top layer, heat up the surface water and evaporate some of the water. When the surface water becomes ...
polymers. Many synthetic monomers form addition polymers. In the second kind of connection, the monomers release a water molecule when they link together. These are called condensation polymers. Most natural polymers are condensation polymers, so water is a natural byproduct of the linking monomers....
New module: Molecule Cloud View The "Molecule Cloud View" module allows you to visualize a group of molecules as their respective van der Waals surfaces within 3D datasets, specifying their positions and orientations. To use this feature, you need a molecule template, such as one from the Pro...
It is the weakest of the four forces, yet it has an infinite range and is responsible for the large-scale structure of the universe. Unraveling the Mystery While we have made significant progress in understanding gravity, it remains a fascinating and somewhat mysterious phenomenon. Whether it ...
What is a large molecule composed of similar subunits joined via covalent bonds called? What are the main types of lipids? Amino Acids form which major type of molecule? A. Starch B. Lipids C. Genetic Material (Nucleic Acid) D. Proteins What are the four groups o...
