...this particular molecule contains 19,996 atoms (of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur) grouped in 1,320 amino-acid units, which in turn are assembled with the aid of chemical bonds into two "light" chains of 214 amino acids apiece and two "heavy" chains of 446 each (see diagram). Schematically, the four chains, in which the acids are strung like beads, look like a letter T. The middle part of the T varies little from antibody to antibody. The chains' ends at the tips of the crossbar constitute the antibody's active regions and can be varied...
...passenger's dream as well. Gone is the claustrophobic feeling of riding in a cigar tube. The plane's fuselage is 231 feet long and as tall as a two-story building; the interior cabin is almost twice as wide as that of the Boeing 707 (see diagram). Each airline will be free to deck out the passenger cabin as it pleases. In most versions, seats will be 10% wider than those in the current jets. In economy class, there will be rows of nine seats separated by two aisles to form a two-four-three seating pattern...
...rare and radical surgery that has wrought such changes, Dr. Hendrick cuts a trap door in the skull, removes the entire neocortex (new brain) and hippocampal area on one side (see diagram), stopping at the midbrain just above the hypothalamus. He puts nothing into the huge cavity that results, because it soon fills up with cerebrospinal fluid. The operation, he says, "is not exciting-it's terrifying, especially, on young babies. They don't have much blood anyway, and we have to get into an area that's all blood vessels. And you have...
...levels in many rock-'n'-roll night clubs soar to 125 db. Dr. Charles P. Lebo of the University of California took measuring instruments into two San Francisco rock-'n'-roll joints, where the cacophony was produced mainly by amplified guitars and percussion instruments (see diagram). Throughout the audible-speech range, Lebo found that the sound intensity averaged over 100 db at virtually all frequencies. It rose to 119 db at peaks in the center of the hall...
...receive it. It was, says Moore, "a very arduous job because of the whopping size of Tommy's liver." Just to get at it entailed making three heroic incisions, two horizontal and one vertical. This was typical of the immense problems involved in liver-transplant surgery (see diagram...
