Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is highly sensitive, selective, and enables extensive detection of metabolites within a sample. The result allows us to characterize comprehensive metabolite accumulation patterns without dependence on authentic standard compounds and isolation of the individual metabolites.…

With the continuous development of economy, global economy integration becomes increasingly obvious, and global economy activities increase gradually, leading to the increase of international business negotiation. As one of the factors influencing this phenomenon, cross-cultural communication becomes more important. Russia and China are long-term cooperation trading mates, so the cultural communication between two countries increases gradually. Through comparing cultural differences, the paper first explains cross-cultural problems from politics, economy and society, then puts forward solving strategies, which can contribute to accelerate mutual culture communication, strengthen trading cooperation and promote economic development of two countries.

This mini review addresses recent developments in computational enzyme design. Successful protocols as well as known issues and limitations are discussed from an energetic perspective. It will be argued that improved results can be obtained by including a dynamic treatment…

This article examines the merger between AOL and the Huffington Post. The broader issues around the merger will be investigated, especially the implication for rights, in particular free expression, and their conditions for exercise and actual exercise online. One major…

Cryo-Electron Microscopy (EM) is a powerful technique to visualize biological processes at nanometer resolution. Structural studies of macromolecular assemblies are typically performed on individual complexes that are biochemically isolated from their cellular context.  Here we present a molecular imaging platform…

Molecular biological data has rapidly increased with the recent progress of the Omics fields, e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics that necessitates the development of databases and methods for efficient storage, retrieval, integration and analysis of massive data. The present…

Murine models with modified gene function as a result of N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis have been used to study phenotypes resulting from genetic change. This study investigated genetic factors associated with red blood cell (RBC) physiology and structural integrity that may…

AbstractVehicular accidents in Ghana have become one of the growing concerns to most Ghanaians in recent times. This is as a result of the tremendous negative effects of accidents on human lives, properties, and the environment as well as and…

This is a collaborative submission from a group of academics based in the UK with expertise in information technology law and related areas. The preparation of this response has been funded by the Information Technology Think Tank, which is supported…
