Nucleic Acid Sequence A nucleic acid sequence is a series of bases inside nucleotides that create alleles within a DNA (GACU) or RNA molecule. Nucleic acids are biological…
Carbon Nanotube Carbon nanotube (CNTs) are carbon tubes with diameters in the nanometer range (nanoscale). These are cylindrical structures made of carbon atoms stacked in a hexagonal…
Phosphoramidates Phosphoramidates (also known as amidophosphates) are phosphorus compounds that are structurally related to phosphates (or organophosphates) by the substitution of an OR for an NR2.…
Protein Sequencing Protein sequencing is the technique of determining the amino acid sequence of a protein or peptide in its entirety or in part. It is the…
Polymeric Surface Polymeric materials are widely used due to their diverse properties, low cost, and highly customizable manufacture. It refers to a surface that is coated, made…
A ‘Hack’ on Photosynthesis May Open Up New Renewable Energy Production Methods Researchers have ‘hacked’ the first phases of photosynthesis, the natural process that fuels the majority of life on Earth, and found new ways to harvest…
Production of Hydrogen Fuel May Rely on the Imitation of Biological Enzymes According to experts, an ancient biological enzyme called nickel-iron hydrogenase could be crucial in the production of hydrogen for an energy system based on renewable…
Important New Information to Speed Up the Development of Carbon-Neutral Porous Materials Due to their superior performance in gas storage, separation, and conversion, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are being recognized as promising carbon-neutral porous materials. With the use…
Researchers Create a New Method for Manufacturing Life-Sustaining Oligonucleotide Therapeutics at Scale In order to manufacture high purity, life-saving medicinal oligonucleotides on a big scale with no negative environmental impact, scientists have created a new method. An…
Utilizing Microscopic DNA’s Vast Potential for Data Storage In a first for the world, a “biological camera” uses live cells and their innate biological capabilities to encrypt and store data, circumventing the limitations…
Conjugated Microporous Polymers Conjugated microporous polymers (CMPs) are a type of porous material that is similar to zeolites, metal-organic frameworks, and covalent organic frameworks but is amorphous rather…
Highly Effective Ruthenium-Based Catalysts Using Theophylline and Caffeine Researchers from the Laboratory of Catalysis at the University of Liège (Belgium), Lionel Delaude and François Mazars, have demonstrated that caffeine and theophylline may be…
