The study of how food interacts with genes is known as Nutritional Genomics, that encompasses nutrigenomics, which explores the effects of nutrients in the genome, proteome and metabolome, as well as nutrigenetics, whose main goal is to elucidate the effect of genetic variations on the interaction between diet and disease.
Some isotopes, however, decay slowly, and several of these are used as geologic clocks. Dating rocks by these radioactive timekeepers is simple in theory, but the laboratory procedures are complex. <span>All methods rely on the fact that certain elements (particularly uranium and potassium) contain a number of different isotopes whose half-life is exactly known and therefore the relative concentrations of these isotopes within a rock or mineral can measure the age.</span>
All science involves observation.
A peptide bond is formed by a condensation (water-loss) reaction between the carboxyl group of oneamino acid<span> and the </span>amino<span> group of the next </span>amino acid<span> occurring in a protein. Thus, proteins are formed by the linear </span>arrangement<span> of </span>amino acids<span> in a particular order</span>
