19.10.2009Strange as it may seem for "ordinary" people, scientists are judged not by the case, but by the "word", that is, by their articles. But how much effort is made by editors and reviewers of scientific papers so that the printed word can be believed!
16.10.2009The achievement awarded with the prize "for research on the structure and work of ribosomes" has played a significant role in the development of science; it also has practical applications — in particular, antibiotics that kill bacteria by turning off their ribosomes.
15.10.2009The difference in the speed of thinking due to the "correct" allele of the COMT gene is small. But the variants of this gene differ by only one nucleotide, and the molecules of the corresponding protein differ by one amino acid.
