An acid is any substance that in water solution tastes sour, changes blue litmus paper to red, reacts with some metals to liberate hydrogen, reacts with bases to form salts, and promotes chemical reactions (acid catalysis).
A base is a substance that can neutralize the acid by reacting with hydrogen ions. Most bases are minerals that react with acids to form water and salts.
Salt is a chemical compound consisting of an ionic assembly of cations and anions.

In chemistry, acids and bases have been defined differently by three sets of theories. One is the Arrhenius definition, which revolves around the idea that acids are substances that ionize (break off) in an aqueous solution to produce hydrogen (H+) ions while bases produce hydroxide (OH-) ions in solution.

Historically, the first of the scientific concepts of acids and bases was provided by the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, circa 1776.
Lavoisier's knowledge of strong acids was mainly restricted to oxyacids, which tend to contain central atoms in high oxidation states surrounded by oxygen, such as HNO3 and H2SO4, and he was not aware of the true composition of the hydrohalic acids, HCl, HBr, and HI. From his limited knowledge,
He defined acids in terms of their content of oxygen, and he named oxygen from Greek words meaning "acid-former"

A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.
2. OBJECTIVES
Define a Brønsted–Lowry acid as a proton/H+ donor and a Brønsted–Lowry
base is a proton/H+ acceptor.
State that an amphiprotic species can act as both Brønsted–Lowry acids and
bases.
Distinguish between a pair of species differing by a single proton as a
conjugate acid-base pair.
3. BRONSTED/LOWRY THEORY OF
ACIDS AND BASES
Danish chemist Bronsted + English chemist Lowry independently
proposed new definitions for an acid and a base
These simply state that:
Acid is hydrogen-ion donor (H+ or proton)
Base is hydrogen-ion acceptor.
Acids and bases always come in pairs.
4. BRØNSTED-LOWRY
EX:-
HCl When it dissolves in water, it gives it’s proton to
water.
HCl(g) + H2O(l) ↔ H3O+
(aq) + Cl-
(aq)
to understand this reaction watch the hydrogen atom of
HCl.
5. CONSIDER THIS
When hydrogen chloride is added to water the following
reaction occurs
HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl-
Because this
donates a
proton it is
a B/L acid
Because this
accepts a
proton it is
a B/L base
6. CONSIDER THIS
When ammonia gas dissolves in water the following
reaction occurs
NH3 + H2O NH4
+ +
OH-
Accept
s a
proton
B/L
base
Donate
s a
proton
B/L
acid
7. IMPORTANT NOTE
Water can act as either an acid or a base
for this reason is known as Amphoteric or
Amphiprotic
8. IDENTIFY THE B/L ACID IN THE
FOLLOWING EQUATION
In the following reaction between Hydrogen chloride and
Ammonia
HCl + NH3 NH4
+ + Cl-
10. NOTE
An acid will only donate a proton when there is
something there to accept it
A base will only accept a proton if there is something
there to donate it
11. THE BRØNSTED-
LOWRY MODEL
CONJUGATE ACID-BASE PAIR
When an acid donates its proton, the remaining part of the acid is called the
conjugate base of that acid.
12. THE BRØNSTED-
LOWRY MODEL
CONJUGATE ACID-
BASE PAIR
Also, when a base accepts a proton, the remaining part of the base is called the
conjugate acid of that base.
13. THE BRØNSTED-LOWRY
MODEL CONJUGATE ACID-
BASE PAIR
Hence,
together the acid and its conjugate base are known as an
conjugate acid-base pair.
The same thing apply on a base and its conjugate acid.
14. IDENTIFY B/L ACID-BASE
PAIRS IN THE FOLLOWING
EQUATIONS
CH3COOH + H2O CH3COO- + H3O+
CH3COO- + H3O+ CH3COOH +
H2O
16. THE BRØNSTED-
LOWRY MODEL
SUMMARY
1) An acid donates a proton and becomes a
conjugate base.
2) A base accepts a proton and becomes a
conjugate acid.
3) Ampholytes are substances that can behave
either as an acid or a base
