Agrobacterium tumefaciens (updated scientific name: Rhizobium radiobacter)[2][3] is the causal agent of crown gall disease (the formation of tumours) in over 140 species of eudicots. It is a rod-sh...
As with all ligand-gated ion channels, opening of the nAChR channel pore requires the binding of a chemical messenger. Several different terms are used to refer to the molecules that bind receptors...

A prodrug is a medication that is administered in a pharmacologically inactive form which is then converted to an active form through a normal metabolic process,[1] such as hydrolysis of an ester.
A fuel cell is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction of positively charged hydrogen ions with oxygen or another oxidizing agent.
