...profoundly different from chimpanzees and make a chimp in a business suit seem so deeply ridiculous--are somehow encoded within minute fractions of our genetic code. Nobody yet knows precisely where they are or how they work, but somewhere in the nuclei of our cells are handfuls of amino acids, arranged in a specific order, that endow us with the brainpower to outthink and outdo our closest relatives on the tree of life. They give us the ability to speak and write and read, to compose symphonies, paint masterpieces and delve into the molecular biology that makes us what...
...four professors attend each lecture, where they sit among the students, Tse adds. The professors have a close affinity with many students. The relationship is reflected in multiple Facebook groups, including several focusing on the professors and one dedicated to the chalk they use to draw amino acids on their Science Center blackboard.The class boasts a team of 25 teaching fellows leading 33 sections. The course also features four formal labs in the field of pharmaceutical research, which Heller cited as “one of the strongest intersections between [biology and chemistry].”Students are also able...
...your piece "Historic Cometary Tales," you are correct in saying that comets had a probable role in the origin of life by bringing with them the chemical precursors of life, in the form of amino acids and other molecules. However, this theory was suggested by me almost 25 years ago, and not as you say by the scientists Francis Crick and Leslie Orgel. Joan Or, Professor Biochemical and Biophysical Sciences University of Houston Houston...
...after the U.S., Japan is a huge consumer of skin-care products.

...Endorsement from top Japanese celebrities?like actress Mami Kumagai, who has been using Fukumitsuya's Amino Rice line?hasn't done any harm either. Some producers are now trying to boost skin-care goods to 50% of all sake sales, and hope that the current buzz is more than just a passing fad. If it isn't, they'll certainly have plenty of sake left over in which to drown their sorrows...
