Abstract:
Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is used for measuring average particle diameter and particle diameter distribution of nano-sized particles dispersed in liquid. The parameters are important characteristics mainly for drug delivery system (DDS) formulations, such as solid in oil (S/O) formulations, liposome formulations, suspension formulations, and emulsion formulations. Herein are described a measurement method and measurement case of particle diameter analysis of medical products using laser light.

Photons
A photon is a discrete electromagnetic particle or bundle of energy. Photons are characterized by their frequency, wavelength, and amplitude, similar to the properties of a wave. Waves with higher frequencies transmit more energy and have shorter wavelengths than longer wavelengths that transmit...

The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...

On the one hand, their primary aim is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. On the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access histone-bound DNA during...
