Detecting an abnormality within a host medium
Electroanalytical methods measure the potential (volts) and/or current (amps) in an electrochemical cell containing the analyte.[7][8] These methods can be categorized according to which aspects of...
A polyamide is a macromolecule with repeating units linked by amide bonds.[1] Polyamides occur both naturally and artificially. Examples of naturally occurring polyamides are proteins, such as wool...
Antiretroviral drugs are medications for the treatment of infection by retroviruses, primarily HIV. Different classes of antiretroviral drugs act on different stages of the HIV life cycle. Combinat...
Plants have evolved R genes (resistance genes) whose products allow recognition of specific pathogen effectors, either through direct binding or by recognition of the effector's alteration of a hos...
Neoplasm (from Ancient Greek νέος- neo "new" and πλάσμα plasma "formation, creation"), is an abnormal growth of tissue, and when also forming a mass is commonly referred to as a tumor or tumour.[1]...
Topoisomerase inhibitors are agents designed to interfere with the action of topoisomerase enzymes[1] (topoisomerase I and II), which are enzymes that control the changes in DNA structure[2] by cat...
Polycarbonates (PC) are a group of thermoplastic polymers containing carbonate groups in their chemical structures. Polycarbonates used in engineering are strong, tough materials, and some grades a...
The rAAV genome is built of single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (ssDNA), either positive- or negative-sensed, which is about 4.7 kilobase long. These single-stranded DNA viral vectors have high t...
Olefin polymerization
Lentiviruses are a subclass of Retroviruses. They have recently been adapted as gene delivery vehicles (vectors) thanks to their ability to integrate into the genome of non-dividing cells, which is...
Peptido oligonucleotides
Transfection is the process of deliberately introducing nucleic acids into cells. The term is often used for non-viral methods in eukaryotic cells.[1] It may also refer to other methods and cell ty...
Alpha-olefins (or α-olefins) are a family of organic compounds which are olefins or alkenes with a chemical formula CxH2x, distinguished by having a double bond at the primary or alpha (α) position...
Factor IX (or Christmas factor) (EC 3.4.21.22) is one of the serine proteases of the coagulation system; it belongs to peptidase family S1. Deficiency of this protein causes hemophilia B. It was di...
Lung disease treatment
Catalysis is the increase in the rate of a chemical reaction due to the participation of an additional substance called a catalyst.[1] With a catalyst, reactions occur faster and with less energy. ...
A multi-chip module (MCM) is generically an electronic assembly (such as a package with a number of conductor terminals or ``pins") where multiple integrated circuits (ICs), semiconductor dies and/...
