Although during the last decades the philosophy of chemistry has greatly extended its thematic scope, the main difficulties appear in the attempt to link the chemical description of atoms and molecules and the description ...

In arecent article entitled "Theproblem of molecular structure just is the measurement problem", AlexanderFranklin and Vanessa Seifert argue that insofar as the quantum measurementproblem is solved, the problems of molecular ...

Just like light, molecules might be exhibiting a wavelike behavior. In this case, molecules might be subjected to quantum mechanics. Under this scenario, molecules abandons their deterministic and their spatial displacement ...

In most cases, molecular communication might require of wavefront-like dynamics that maximizes the arrival of drug into a target. Thus, while the technique of drug delivery can partially see as a stochastic dynamics, one ...

Tryptophan dioxygenase (TDO) and indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) are two heme-containing enzymes which catalyze the conversion of L-tryptophan to N-formylkynurenine (NFK). In mammals, TDO is mostly expressed in liver and ...

Perhaps the hottest topic in the philosophy of chemistry is that of the relationship between chemistry and physics. The problem finds one of its main manifestations in the debate about the nature of molecular structure, ...

The mechanical response of zinc oxide nanowires under uniaxial tensile loading is investigated by molecular dynamics and supported by density functional calculations. Previous theoretical works predict a stress-induced ...

Environment may influence the development and prevention of cancer. Calcitriol has been associated with calcium homeostasis regulation. Many epidemiological, biochemical, and genetic studies have shown non-classic effects ...

Key message: Woody plants have salt-tolerant mechanisms similar to those developed by non-woody plants. Among others, compartmentalization of ions, production of compatible solutes, synthesis of specific proteins and ...
