Crystallise it and show us the structure lol

Acrylamide is a nasty neurotoxin. Look at old protein biochemists and their hands all shake from years of making SDS-PAGE gels without gloves.

It wouldn't be science without some jargon :P

Basically, a new mechanism has been found - low nitrogen influences the signalling of a plant hormone to reduce the number of branches. Particularly pertinent to cereal crops and could help lower the need for nitrogen fertilisers!

Hope it stays open source going forward, especially given how it's built on the back of decades of hard work in x-ray crystallography.

 

Looking perpetually angry 😠

 

Now that we've had some time to digest Flight b741, curious to see how it ranks for everyone!

Of course it varies a bit day to day, but I'll have a go... honestly I really like them all, bar the bottom two!

(Nerd warning) So awesome to see strigolactones on lemmy. Any other strigolactone researchers out there? I mostly work on the receptor protein D14.

Can't mentally decline if you were never sound of mind in the first place!

Hype, I'm glad they release albums shortly after they announce them - feels like so many bands are like "NEW ALBUM out in 6 months" haha.

Dutton's so much of a spud I'm almost glad he's in charge of the LNP instead of someone more charismatic. Hopefully he never sees any real power. Can't believe that this is even a political issue up for debate, just delay delay delay and never so anything.

Shame, i thought Furiosa was awesome, although there were only about 5 people in the cinema. The critics seem to be giving pretty favourable reviews too, would definitely recommend going and checking it out. Hope this isnt the nail in the coffin of Mad Max.

 

Cool paper from my field. In every plant species there's a hormone receptor sitting there but we don't know what the hormone is yet! Finding the ligand has become a bit of a holy grail for many researchers. This study finds an endogenous ligand for a divergent homologue of this receptor, not of much consequence to most plant species but still enough to have people turning heads.

Ehh that's a very cynical and kinda misleading take of how it works. This may be generally true in the house of representatives but still 12% of the seats don't end up funnelled to the two major parties. In the senate a quarter of senators aren't affiliated with either major party and at the moment it requires Labor to collaborate to pass bills, so although we do have two major parties we are nowhere near being a two-party system.

Nah I'm guessing because it's a popular opinion

[–] ziltoid101@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No mention of the rate? Or the rate in non-police officers? I'm seeing an increasing amount of articles quote raw numbers rather than anything statistically meaningful, I agree with the sentiment of the article but it's veering towards rage-bait territory.

 

I've only listened to the short version so far but I was pleasantly surprised. Not completely sold on the digital drums but if you liked Butterfly 3000 I reckon you might enjoy this one!
