Re: DNA attachment to tubes

Does DNA attach more to plastic or glass?! Just a guess mind you, but I would think glass would have less bonding, based on the crystal lattice structure of Si (Si in lattice form is stable). Like I said though, just a guess.

Clathrate, Hydration Shell

... and molecules may move around, about, in and out... but they all orient themselves around the ion based on its charge. A clathrate structure is a lattice structure... fixed and ordered like you said. Solid water (aka ice) forms a clathrate structure.

how does cold temperature affects enzyme activity?

you should understand what freezing means, an atom cannot freeze really, ice is just water arranged into a crystal lattice.

The Fiber Disease

... crystal structure, one of the crystal surfaces is protected from these interactions by water molecules, which are also a part of the crystal lattice. Here the crystal continues to grow. In this way, wires of up to 170 µm long and only about 100 nm in diameter are formed, which consist of ...

The Fiber Disease

"Luminescence" Juniper's Jewels and poplar's pearls are unseen treasures manifested in whorls. Nature's lattice glory, iridescent delight, with gleaming rhodopsin, the hue of midnight. Transcendental translucence, dioptrics by day, repeated refractions, transfusing the ...
