By analogy, the theta temperature for macromolecules is often referred to as the Flory temperature. ❋ Unknown (1974)
"macromolecules", reports on their reactivity, structure, and chemistry still remain the purview of biology and biochemistry. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Variability in surface proteins is advantageous in extending the range of specific cell-cell attachments for transfer of DNA and other macromolecules. ❋ James A. Shapiro (2012)
The study of biological systems may become more dominant and move from individual macromolecules to large interactive systems, for example, in chemical signaling and in neural function, including the brain. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The pioneering studies of these three investigators form the basis for the enormous number of new crystal structures of biological macromolecules, which have been published in the second half of the 20th century ❋ Unknown (2010)
Many Nobel Prizes have been awarded for the determination of the structure of biological macromolecules (proteins and nucleic acids). ❋ Unknown (2010)
Flory carried out fundamental theoretical as well as experimental investigations of the physical chemistry of macromolecules, but his work also led to such important polymers as nylon and synthetic rubber. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Collaborating with the biochemist Edward Tatum at Stanford University in California, Beadle discovered that genes carried instructions to build proteins—complex, multidimensional macromolecules that were the workhorses of the cell. ❋ Siddhartha Mukherjee (2010)
This hypothesis has been fruitful, leading to the discovery of extrasolar macromolecules, extrasolar planets and advances in abiogenetics. ❋ Unknown (2008)
There's nothing inherently teleological about believing that the universe * naturally* organizes itself into stars and galaxies, elements and macromolecules. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Phosphate is an essential building block for various macromolecules present in all cells, including nucleic acids, lipids and proteins. ❋ Robert Lee Hotz (2010)
When the history of chemistry is written a thousand years from now, the 20th century will no doubt be marked as the century of giant molecules (macromolecules) in industry, the century in which the properties of giant molecules were first seriously studied and applied to technology and commerce. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Biological self-organizing polymers such as proteins and nucleic acids are much more complicated than the self-organizing polymers known to polymer chemists outside biochemistry, and a recent trend is for polymer chemists to look to the data on self-organizing biological macromolecules for hints about special synthetic innovations. ❋ Unknown (2009)
We now know that a virus actually consists of a small number of macromolecules, but even so, we're apparently at the interface between the physical sciences and the life sciences. ❋ Unknown (2009)
A virus is a small assembly of macromolecules, an RNA or DNA genome plus proteins, that can replicate itself if it can get inside a compatible living cell and use the genetic machinery of that cell. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Dennett (1995) describes the "birth of agency": the ability to perform purposeful actions in complex macromolecules, and thus very early in the course of evolution. ❋ Unknown (2007)
