Many major physiological processes depend on regulation of proteolytic enzyme activity and there can be dramatic consequences when equilibrium between an enzyme and its substrates is disturbed. In ...
Cytotoxicity is the quality of being toxic to cells. Examples of toxic agents are an immune cell or some types of venom, e.g. from the puff adder (Bitis arietans) or brown recluse spider (Loxoscele...
Etching is used in microfabrication to chemically remove layers from the surface of a wafer during manufacturing. Etching is a critically important process module, and every wafer undergoes many et...
Microfluidics is a multidisciplinary field intersecting engineering, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, nanotechnology, and biotechnology, with practical applications to the design of systems in whi...
Enantioselective synthesis, also called chiral synthesis or asymmetric synthesis,[1] is defined by IUPAC as: a chemical reaction (or reaction sequence) in which one or more new elements of chiralit...
A medical contrast medium (or contrast agent) is a substance used to enhance the contrast of structures or fluids within the body in medical imaging.[1] It is commonly used to enhance the visibilit...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is when microbes are less treatable with one or more drugs used to treat infection.[2] This makes these medications less effective in both treating and preventing inf...
Acoustic signal processing is the electronic manipulation of acoustic signals. Applications include: active noise control; design for hearing aids or cochlear implants; echo cancellation; music inf...
An electric battery is a device consisting of two or more electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy. Each cell has a positive terminal, or cathode, and a nega...
A CDK (Cyclin-dependent kinase) inhibitor is a chemical that inhibits the function of CDKs. It is used to treat cancers by preventing overproliferation of cancer cells. Although there is no approve...
Electroplating is a process that uses electric current to reduce dissolved metal cations so that they form a coherent metal coating on an electrode. The term is also used for electrical oxidation o...
