For anyone that doesn't know, 23andme is a company that sequences your genome for you (you send them a saliva sample). It gives you a raw data file ful of SNPs. Heres an example of some SNPs from a raw data file:
rs3128126 1 962210 GG
rs2710875 1 977780 TT
rs2465136 1...
Yeah I meant chirality of the carbon. No, its not for an amino acid and synthesising it isn't an option in this case, I need to find a way to modify it.
Heres the chiral center:
I want to change the chirality of the amino group. I was wondering if I can do it through some kind of nucleuphilic addition to the carbonyl group, while adding something to adding a metal that will coordinate the amino group and drag it back or force it to change...
I read that if a spaceship is traveling at a really high speed, let's say just under lightspeed, that the crew will age more slowly than us earthlings because time slows down when they are traveling at such a high speed. What doesn't make sense to me is that relative to the spaceships crew, its...
Lets say ship 1 is traveling just under the speed of light so time slows down for the crew and the age less quickly than the stationary crew in ship 2. Relative to the crew in ship 1, the crew of ship 2 are traveling at just under the speed of light, so time moves slower for them and they should...
Lets say its the future your camera has an insanely fast shutter speed. You're standing on the ground watching a train travel past at just under the speed of light and the train driver is shining a laser pointer out the front window. With your insanely fast reflexes you take a take a picture of...
Thanks. Does that 5 million km difference make much difference to the temperature of the earth? I reckon it would. Venus, from what I hear, is scorching hot compared to the earth. Not sure how far venus is from earth, my guess (based on the radius you told me) would be 40 million km.
I figured out the answer to the question in the title. The seasons are due to the Earth's north to south axis facing towards or away from the sun at different times in the year. I have a couple of other questions:
1.) What does a week signify? A day is how long it takes for the Earth to make a...
Ah right, then in that case I think intermolecular forces would be the main factor behind non vertical streaking. The water droplets don't instantaneously merge with the glass, they can only attach to the glass with adhesive forces determined by the intermolecular forces between H2O and SiO2...
Its all a matter of air resistance isn't it. The water droplets cannot oppose the air resistance as well as the car can. If you stick a piece of string out the window, the string won't hang vertically, it will hang slightly horizontally even though its horizontal velocity with respect to the car...
Using a simple example: air, why does it naturally form a uniform mixture? Brownian motion wouldn't differentiate between different gases that make up the air.
I think its Heisenbergs uncertainty principle. The smaller a particle is, the less its position in space can be known. As a result, it exists in multiple locations in space.
