Proofreading

8.3K
Synthesis of new DNA molecules is carried out by the enzyme DNA polymerase, which adds nucleotides on the daughter strand complementary to the template DNA strand. DNA polymerase has a higher affinity to add the correct base and ensures fidelity during DNA replication. Furthermore,  it exhibits proofreading activity during replication, using an exonuclease domain that cuts off incorrect nucleotides from the nascent DNA strand.
Errors During Replication are Corrected by the DNA Polymerase...

The Scientific Method

254.8K
The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.
Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...

Feedback Inhibition

Biochemical reactions are occurring constantly in cells, converting starting substances to different products, usually with the help of enzymes that speed the reactions. Without enzymes, it would take far too long for most reactions to occur to be useful to the cell!

Competition02:34

Competition

24.1K
When organisms require the same limited resources within an environment, they may have to compete for them. Competition is a net-negative interaction. Even if two competing individuals or populations do not interact directly, the overall fitness of both competitors is lowered as a result of not having full access to the limited resource.

Symbiosis00:58

Symbiosis

36.5K
Symbiotic relationships are long-term, close interactions between individuals of different species that affect the distribution and abundance of those species. When a relationship is beneficial to both species, this is called mutualism. When the relationship is beneficial to one species but neither beneficial nor harmful to the other species, this is called commensalism. When one organism is harmed to benefit another, the relationship is known as parasitism. These types of relationships often...

Area of Science:

  • Scholarly communication
  • Publishing studies
  • Scientific integrity

Background:

  • Innovative peer review procedures face slow adoption despite controversies and evolving expectations.
  • Understanding the conditions and decision-making factors for adopting peer review innovations is crucial.
  • This study investigates commercial publishers' editorial processes and innovation considerations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To study the structure of commercial publishers' editorial processes.
  • To reveal how the benefits of peer review innovations are understood.
  • To describe the considerations influencing the implementation of innovations.

Main Methods:

  • Field visits to editorial offices of two large academic publishers.
  • Interviews with editors not affiliated with large publishers.
  • Analysis of transcribed field notes using coding software.

Main Results:

  • Commercial publishers exhibit hierarchical decision-making structures for editorial practices.
  • Innovation adoption hinges on stakeholder input, reputation, efficiency, and costs, with top management approval.
  • Tensions exist between commercial interests (reputation, efficiency) and substantial editorial arguments.
  • Independent journals show more flexible, less hierarchical processes, decoupling commercial and editorial views.

Conclusions:

  • Peer review innovation adoption is significantly influenced by commercial factors like reputation, efficiency, and implementation costs.
  • These commercial considerations deeply impact the core editorial and peer review processes.
  • Findings extend beyond traditional publishing economics to the heart of editorial decision-making.
