The extra structures appear to have evolved many times in different species of bacteria,
using different building blocks but producing the same functionality.
Depending your business model pattern, also known as business strategy, you might start the ideation process from
different building blocks of your business model canvas.
Tokyo, Japan - Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University used a light - sensitive iridium - palladium catalyst to make «sequential» polymers, using visible light to change
how different building blocks are combined into polymer chains.
University of Illinois chemist Martin Burke, a pioneer of a technique that constructs complex molecules from simple chemical «building blocks,» led a group that found that thousands of compounds in a class of molecules called polyenes — many of which have great potential as drugs — can be built simply and economically from a scant one
dozen different building blocks.
After their success in synthesizing derivatives of amphotericin, which fall into the polyene category, the researchers wondered, how
many different building blocks would it take to make all the polyenes?
The combination of 20
different building blocks — amino acids — results in an enormous variety of theoretically possible protein variants; many more than the estimated number of stars in the universe.
«Substantial technological advances are needed, although all
the different building blocks have in principle been demonstrated in a small scale.»
Two years ago, Burke estimated that assembling 75 % of natural products with his machine would take some 5000
different building blocks, compared with just four for DNA — a challenging number for chemical suppliers to make and stock.
With dozens of
different building blocks, players can build enormous castles, houses, shops, taverns and more.
