It's not a magazine like scientific america. It's like half articles/essays and half research papers.

You also can't make one with a formula. Electrophoresis is a very variable form of measurement. Each run will go sligtly different due to the many factors involved that you really can't account for. I'll give you the formula, but I don't really care to explain it, since it's fairly useless anyways. ZeE = fu The only way to make a real comparison is to run a set of proteins of standard weight along side your samples. Then estimate. Alternatively you could plot the distance vs time fit it to this formula. However it is ONLY good for samples run on the same gel at the same time. logM = a - bx M= mass of protein. x= distance travelled a,b are constants individual to every gel. enjoy.

the deoxy nature makes DNA far more stable than RNA. This is important since DNA acts like an archive of information, from which transient RNA messages are copied. DNA is about 100,000 times more resistant to random hydrolysis than RNA is. It also protects it from catalysed hydrolysis by RNase.

^^^ Exactley. Saying a physics test is harder than a biology test, because you could use physical fundamentals to explain biology making physics more vast, is like saying swimming a race in the pacific is harder than swimming a race in the atlantic because the pacific is bigger. (yeah it's not a very good analogy but I think you get the point) These are two science with complexities far vaster than anything you or anyone else will ever handle. Meaning you'd have to be some sort of god to be able to notice the difference in difficulty (if there is one) because you will never get there anyways. also more fundamental does not equal more complex. Take a turing machine for example, the way it works is extreemly simple, however the level above of the things it can represent are infinitly more complex. However the basic workings are about the simplest thing. Of course physics isn't simple. But being on a higher or lower level doesn't make something more complex.

Yeah I saw that sea turtle. And then I saw it again when I restarted teh outerbay cam. The thing is a prerecorded loop.

If you're looking for something so specific you're going to have to most likely find it yourself. I seriously doubt anyone who reads this will just happen to have it lying around. Look here. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ if it exists there is a 99% chance the sequence will be in that database. *edit* actually it only took me 30 seconds to find a few sequences using that site I left you. Since it's vital to anyone in science to know how to use pub med I'll leave it to you to find it.

Yeah I'd say without heamoglobin you'd have a hard time having a heart beat.

To sum it up real quick because I don't want to write an essay. So far this form of somatic gene therapy has been somewhat of a flop. The virus thing has for a large part given people cancer when sucessful. Not to say it wont work in the future. There are just some serious technical hurdles to overcome first. This area has been progressing far slower than previously expected and will continue to do so for a while I think. Other areas that have serious therapeutic potential have been advancing quite well like RNAi and gene guns, you might want to look at those. However these only temporarily add/remove a gene, something on the order of hours to weeks, as the additional genes are extrachromasomal.

So you think every chemist and biologist is lazy because there isn't a human being/computer capable of contemplating the full complexity of physics involved in understanding biology? *edit* I'm guessing you're pretty young since you seem to have a very idealistic view of this. This has nothing to do with convience or lazyness. It's a matter of necessity, and realism. Of what's possible and what's not.

It's even worse when you wake up fully cloathed except for some reason your underwear are on backwards. And the last thing you can remember is taking another drink. Then you spend the rest of the day, trying to covertly find clues about what you did. It's called having a case of the "Oh-Oh's" Oh-Oh's Definition: Waking up and knowing you did something you shouldn't have but having no idea what it could be. But yeah back to the previous topic, when I sleep after drinking I usually sweatalot and constanly wake up unable to fall back asleep. I dream alot too, but I haven't gotten nightmares since I was probably 14 I just get vidid dreams alot. Actually even without drinking, I tend to get vivid dreams every night. It's rare that I sleep without having an intense dream.

To alow hydrolytic enzymes in the crushed grains to break up the starch persent so that it is available to the yeast as a food source. p.s. post this in the homework forum next time.

Uhhhh no. Chemistry deals with many things that do not involve or require physics to explain. Just like biology deals with many things that do not involve or require chemistry to explain. And as well mathamatics deals with many things that aren't necessary for physics. Saying chemistry is the reader's digest version of physics ignors the existant of most of the content of chemistry. As does saying the same for biology from chemistry, as would math to physics etc. I remember a quote it went something like this. Biochemistry think they're smarter than biologist chemists always think they're smarter than biochemists, physists think they're smarter than chemists, mathamaticians think they're smarter than physisits, and philosophers used to think they're smarter than everyone untill it was realalised they really don't know anything about anything anyways. Well that's exactley why people don't use physics to explain things like that. It is a very idealistic view to think you can. It's a pretty stupid waste of their time. Sure theoretically you could explain the evolution of mouse fur color using quantum mechanics. The real use of physics in biology occurs when the two genras overlap. Like lets say effects of radiation, speed of a cheeta running etc... The different sciences tend to require different combinations of skills as well, some people are good at some some are better at others. Like physics needs math skills, chemistry need spatial skills, biology needs memory skills. There is definate overlap but you can't say one is harder than the other. Like I know poeple who had to drop out of chemistry and go into physics because they just couldn't handle the spatial 3d aspect that gets to be so necessary to much of it. Just like I know people who had to leave physics because they couldn't handle the math. etc... Now this isn't to say that you don't need math to do chemistry or spatial visualization to do physics, just not as much so. Look everything is only as hard as you want to make it. No one can handle the full complexity of any science.

Okay, the neaderthal idea stems from a lack of knowledge about eye clour. Basically preople with brown eyes produce alot of melinin and people with blue eyes produce very little. It takes only a very simple mutation to go from one to the other. It's not like you're getting a completely different pigment Oh and green, grey, etc are somewhere inbetween. Basically you can expect the alleles to mutate to the alternative form fairly quickly. Like people with blue eyes will appear in african populations randomly. It's just their eyes absorbe to much light and it's a slight disadvantage. So under selective presures they allele gets pushed out of the population. Like for example white homozygous mice if placed in a dark environment, like an old lavaflow will evolve a black fur colour withing a few thousand generations. I'm pretty sure that this is due to the same pigement melinin. And going from dark to white is even quicker since it is more likley for a mutation to decrease a gene product than promote one.

What you mean that santa's not real?? Waahhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Okay I wouldn't suggest trying to understand women in the first place, nevermind ones with brain damage...

I'm thinking the question means within the membrane itself not the confines of the membrane. You don't find RNA within cell membranes. Far to hydrophilic. Mainly proteins and lipids.

Don't forget about charge gradients created across biological membranes. The typical NA+ K+ ion pump is able to create a charge potential by swapping 3 Na+ ions for 2 K+ ions. Not to mention the Many H+ gradients.

I've never noticed this effect. All I get is a tingling sensation

I'm sorry but "mountain here in TO" ha ha ha ha ha You sure you're studying in TO? Man I've lived there my whole life and there aren't any mountains anywhere near to TO.

I was thinking that the original post was presenting a hypothetical situation. I don't see how anything else makes sense. Like ecotones and diversity both definatley exists. Maybe the original poster would care to elaborate?

I'm like to money as a black hole is to matter. But I should be starting some paid research work this summer, and gradschool following that, at which point I will be relatively self sufficient.

I'm around Toronto Canada. It's barley falling below 0C here.

Well probably the biggest problem with child porn is the exploitation of children that occurs in its creation. This isn't the case with nudist sites at all. Now if the grounds for banning them would be to prevent some perverted freak from getting turned out. Well I think you have a loosing battle there.

Get drunk Lie in the sun Watch TV Masterbate Eat some really good food (usually it helps if it's expensive lol) flirting with girls works too
