Proteins are the macromolecules responsible for the biological processes in the cell. They consist at their most basic level of a chain of amino acids, determined by the sequence of nucleotides in a gene. Depending on the amino acid sequence (different amino acids have different biochemical properties) and interactions with their environment, proteins fold into a three-dimensional structure, which allows them to interact with other proteins and molecules and perform their function
Carbohydrates are generally classified into monosaccharides (simple sugars), oligosaccharides (containing few sugar units) and polysaccharides (containing many sugar units).
Monosaccharides are sugar molecules containing short chain of carbon atoms, one aldehydic or ketonic group and hydroxyl groups attached to remaining Carbon atoms.
Oligosaccharides are formed by polymerisation of monosaccharide molecules by elimination of water molecules.
Polysaccharides are high molecular weight substances composed of large number of moosaccharide units combined to form one large polymer molecule. They may be straight chain or branched chain polymers.
Isoenzymes (or isozymes) are a group of enzymes that catalyze the same reaction but have different enzyme forms and catalytic efficiencies. Isozymes are usually distinguished by their electrophoretic mobilities.
BIOSYNTHESIS OF PHOSPHOLIPIDS
Phospholipids:-
These are compounds containing, in addition to fatty acid and glycerol, phosphoric acid, nitrogenous bases, and another substituent. Polar compounds composed of alcohol attached by phosphodiester bridge to either diacylglycerol or sphingosine.
Amphipathic in nature has a hydrophilic head (phosphate +alcohol
eg., serine, ethanolamine, and choline) and a long, hydrophobic tail
(fatty acids or derivatives ).
- CLASSIFICATION OF PHOSPHOLIPIDS:-
- Glycerophospholipids
- Spingophospholipids or Sphingomyelin

Fatty acids are the building blocks of the fat in our bodies and in the food we eat. During digestion, the body breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can then be absorbed into the blood. Fatty acid molecules are usually joined together in groups of three, forming a molecule called a triglyceride.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
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.
2. • Fatty acids are the organic acids consisting of a chain of alkyl group containing
between 4 and 22 or more carbon atoms with a terminal carboxyl group
• Basic building units of lipids and principal constituents of body fat
• There are more than 100 different fatty acids occurring naturally.
• 90% of the fatty acids in our body occur in the form of esters of triglycerides,
glycolipids, phospholipids, sphingolipids, etc.
• Most of the fatty acids contain an even no of carbon atoms occur in nature
• Fatty acids are also called “Carboxylic acids” due to the presence of carboxyl
group (-COOH)
• Degree of unsaturation of fatty acids depend upon the no. of double bonds present
in the hydrocarbon chain of the fatty acid.
• Fatty acids may be Saturated or Unsaturated depending upon the degree of
unsaturation.
• Greater the degree of unsaturation in a fatty acid, more would be the chances of
Lipid oxidation.
3. • Fatty acids are “Amphipathic” in nature. It contains both, non-polar hydrocarbon
chain and a polar carboxyl group, therefore, act as Hydrophilic as well as
Hydrophobic
• The general formula is:
• R — COOH
• Where R is CH3 (CH2)n; n varies from zero in acetic acid to 24 in cerotic
acid and to 86 in mycolic acid.
18. Properties of Fatty Acids and Fats:
• Physical Properties:
1. Fats and fatty acids are soluble in organic solvents, such as petroleum ether,
benzene and chloroform. They are insoluble in water.
2. Saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fatty acids
are liquid.
3. Unsaturated fatty acids show cis-trans isomerism due to presence of double
bonds.
4. They are bad conductors of heat.
5. Saturated glycerides containing fats require high temperature for melting,
whereas unsaturated glycerides containing fats require relatively lower temperature
for its melting.
6. Higher the length of carbon chain in the fatty acid higher the melting temperature
19. • Chemical Properties:
1. Hydrolysis.
• Fats undergo hydrolysis when treated with mineral acids, the alkalies or fat
splitting enzyme lipase or hydrolases to yield glycerol and the constituent fatty
acids.
Hydrolysis by alkalies, such as NaOH or KOH leads to the formation of sodium or
potassium salts of fatty acids.
The salts are known as soaps and process of its formation is saponification.
20. 2. Hydrogenation:
• Oils containing unsaturated fatty acids can be hydrogenated in presence of high
temperature, pressure and finely divided nickel.
• By this process the oils are converted into solid fats (glycerides of saturated fatty acids).
• This reaction forms the basis of the industrial production of hydrogenated oil (vegetable
ghee).
3. Hydrogenolysis:
• Oils and fats are converted into glycerol and a long chain aliphatic alcohol when excess
of hydrogen is passed through them under pressure and in presence of copper-chromium
catalyst.
• This splitting of fat by hydrogen is called hydrogenolysis.
21. 4. Halogenation:
• When unsaturated fatty acids are treated with halogens, such as iodine and chlorine, they
take up iodine or other halogens at their double bond site.
• This process of taking of iodine is called halogenation which is an indication of
unsaturation.
• Iodine number is the percentage of iodine absorbed by a fat.
5. Rancidity:
• Oils and fats on long storage in contact with heat, light, air and moisture, develop an
unpleasant odour.
• Such oils and fats are known as rancid oils and fats.
22. 6. Emulsification:
• The process of breaking of large-sized fat molecules into smaller ones is called
emulsification.
• In animals, this process is brought about by bile juice liberated from liver.
• Other emulsifying agents are water, soaps, proteins and gums.
