In mathematics the Baum–Sweet sequence is an infinite automatic sequence of 0s and 1s defined by the rule: bn = 1 if the binary representation of n contains no block of consecutive 0s of odd length; bn = 0 otherwise; for n ≥ 0. For example, b4 = 1 because the binary representation of 4 is 100, which only contains on...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotype%20%28immunology%29
In immunology, antibodies (immunoglobulins (Ig)) are classified into several types called isotypes or classes. The variable (V) regions near the tip of the antibody can differ from molecule to molecule in countless ways, allowing it to specifically target an antigen (or more exactly, an epitope). In contrast, the const...
