It is a molecule by molecule duplicate of naturally occurring growth hormone used to replenish a lacking supply in the human body, created in an exact chain in a specific sequence.

Not exact matches

The objects of his study range from a class of molecules that have the basic self - duplicating property of living things, through cells which suggest purely physical systems, through animals which give increasing evidence of having minds, to human beings in whom streams of consciousness seem to involve continual choices of action, at the opposite pole from control by impersonal laws of nature.

They are the principal component, other than water, of all living forms, but the nucleic acids alone have the remarkable property of being capable of duplicating their patterns, whatever they may be, from small molecules in their medium.

There a polymerase molecule creates duplicates of the DNA strands.

Electrons, atoms, and molecules are so small that their gravity, and hence the amount of energy needed to keep them in duplicate states, is negligible.

The process begins when a gene for a molecule with a potentially toxic function, like a protein - chopping enzyme, is accidentally duplicated, typically during the formation of egg cells and sperm.

In the new study, researchers placed tiny particles of silicon carbide (one represented by the group of tan molecules in this artist's concept) covered with graphite (hexagonal networks of gray atoms) in a vacuum chamber that duplicated the deep - space conditions surrounding many stars (temperatures between 900 and 1500 kelvins and pressures less than one - billionth that found at Earth's surface).

Occasionally, though, one of the nucleotide base pairs that make up the molecule gets switched, or a short stretch of genetic code is duplicated.

Excitons are valuable in both natural photosynthesis and research efforts to duplicate the process, because they can carry energy from one molecule to another, energy that can ultimately be using to power the movement of electrons.

Also, there's no description of read de-duplication, which is alarming because it suggests that duplicate reads from the same molecule weren't removed prior to analysis.

The researchers are now searching for small molecules that can duplicate the effects of those mutations, shifting the balance toward the open rather than the closed state.
