Algorithm maps protein degradation patterns to improve infection diagnosis and treatment
Peptides are small fragments of proteins, mainly found in the skin and mucous membranes. Some peptides act as a barrier, protecting the body against infections by fighting off microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, while others p.....»»
Replacement crop treatment not safe for important pollinator, experts say
A novel pesticide thought to be a potential successor to banned neonicotinoids caused 100% mortality in mason bees in a recent test. The novel pesticide, flupyradifurone, is thought to pose less risk to pollinators and, consequently, has been license.....»»
You won"t be fooled by hysterical phishing emails, but you know people who will
Once again there's a new iCloud phishing email that is so poorly done that AppleInsider readers will be able to spot it, but will be shockingly effective to some susceptible to its hysteria, its appalling grammar, and its blinding font choices.Detail.....»»
Researchers explore key interaction sites and pathways in ammonia capture
