This is a general term for the sprawling tangles of protein molecules that sometimes build up inside the body.
Aldehyde condensation polymer, any of a number of industrially produced polymeric substances (substances composed of extremely large molecules) that are built up in condensation reactions involving an aldehyde.
In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, each wing consists mainly of a framework of proteins and other molecules that is built by epithelial cells.
We have begun to engineer proteins that include components that do not normally occur in living beings, and we are starting to build molecules that resemble DNA in terms of their capacity to store information, but that can be read differently by the machinery of the cell.
The nature of camphor oil (C10H16O) itself is a monoterpene, a molecule that is built up biosynthetically from two isoprene units which obey the isoprene rule, (C5H8) n, where n is the number of linked isoprene units.
β2-Integrins with high ligand binding affinity have an extended, open conformation where the cytoplasmic tails unclasp enabling the association of signalling molecules with the cytoplasmic domains that build the integrin adhesome.
This is based on the idea that it is possible to build individual molecules that can perform like the transistors, diodes, capacitors and other key components of today's microcircuits.
Fu and colleagues are searching for molecules that interact with the protein built by hPer2, as a first step toward developing drugs that might speed up or slow down the clock.
The human body is one example: we take in energy from our environment to build up complex molecules that help power our bodies, and, in doing so, we release heat to the world around us.
