In the mathematical area of group theory, Artin groups, also known as Artin–Tits groups or generalized braid groups, are a family of infinite discrete groups defined by simple presentations. They are closely related with Coxeter groups. Examples are free groups, free abelian groups, braid groups, and right-angled Artin... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_partially_commutative_group |
These qualities make the assembly of nucleic acid structures easy to control through nucleic acid design. This property is absent in other materials used in nanotechnology, including proteins, for which protein design is very difficult, and nanoparticles, which lack the capability for specific assembly on their own.The... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_nanotechnology |

Natural abundance techniques can be applied without artificial disturbance. The natural 15N abundances are expressed in delta (δ) notation relative to the 15N concentration in the air. Due to enzymatic discrimination, natural 15N abundances change slightly in microbially mediated reactions in soil. Apart from δ values,... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen-15_tracing |

Levetiracetam does not undergo extensive metabolism, and the metabolites formed are not active and do not exert pharmacological activity. Metabolism of levetiracetam is not by liver cytochrome P450 enzymes, but through other metabolic pathways such as hydrolysis and hydroxylation. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levetiracetam |
Many compounds require enzyme metabolic activation to become mutagenic and cause DNA damage. Furthermore, reactive intermediates can be produced in the body as a result of oxidative stress, thus harming the DNA. Some chemical carcinogens, metabolites, as well as endogenous compounds generated by inflammatory processes ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_adduct |
