Different implementations of channels may be buffered or not,...

As of February 2009 they are available in both Fortran and C source code format. Capabilities The subroutines in the...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine%203%27%2C5%27-bisphosphate
Adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate is a form of an adenosine nucleotide with two phosphate groups attached to different carbons in the ribose ring. This is distinct from adenosine diphosphate, where the two phosphate groups are attached in a chain to the 5' carbon atom in the ring. Adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate is produced a...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrobiopterin
Dihydrobiopterin (BH2) is a pteridine compound produced in the synthesis of L-DOPA, dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine and epinephrine. It is restored to the required cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin by dihydrobiopterin reductase. See also Pteridine Tetrahydrobiopterin Biomolecules
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20incomplete%20proofs
This page lists notable examples of incomplete published mathematical proofs. Most of these were accepted as correct for several years but later discovered to contain gaps. There are both examples where a complete proof was later found and where the alleged result turned out to be false. Results later proved rigorous...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural%20break
In econometrics and statistics, a structural break is an unexpected change over time in the parameters of regression models, which can lead to huge forecasting errors and unreliability of the model in general. This issue was popularised by David Hendry, who argued that lack of stability of coefficients frequently cause...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoophilia
Zoophilia is a paraphilia in which a person experiences a sexual fixation on non-human animals. Bestiality instead refers to cross-species sexual activity between humans and non-human animals. Because of the lack of research on the subject, it is difficult to conclude how prevalent bestiality is. Zoophilia on the oth...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homojunction
A homojunction is a semiconductor interface that occurs between layers of similar semiconductor material; these materials have equal band gaps but typically have different doping. In most practical cases a homojunction occurs at the interface between an n-type (donor doped) and p-type (acceptor doped) semiconductor suc...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared%20sensing%20in%20snakes
The ability to sense infrared thermal radiation evolved independently in two different groups of snakes, one consisting of the families Boidae (boas) and Pythonidae (pythons), the other of the family Crotalinae (pit vipers). What is commonly called a pit organ allows these animals to essentially "see" radiant heat at w...
