@Jamiemin16 I wonder if researchers have found some ways to produce polymer from natural sources, renewable, and completely biodegradable. #prescottchem
@tpw1004 Even harmful excess amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that we don't see or feel has its effects happening underwater. CO2 released by burning coal, oil and gas doesn't stay in the air but instead dissolves into the ocean and leads to acidification of ocean #prescottchem
I am going to use this article to talk about how to use eco-friendly techniques to create fertilizers at home. It is one of a trends to "going green" at home.
There are numerous plants that fix nitrogen, some of which you may already be growing like legumes (beans, peas, indigo, lupine, peashrub, vetch, alfalfa, clover, autumn olive, Russian olive, goumi and locust. It is easy to incorporat these into your gardens. #prescottchem
@John_Ash__ Did you know that In 2005, Metabolix (US company) received Presidential Green Chemistry challenge award for developing and commercializing of a cost effective method for manufacturing PHB. Because the cost of PHB-derived plastic was too high #prescottchem
@katelyndchem408 I have heard that Zika virus is transmitted by the same type of mosquito that carries chikungunya virus. My mom had chikungunya in 2015. She had joint pain, fever. I am not sure if Zika virus has the same symptoms as of dengue and chikungunya. #prescottchem
@CoreyErickson20 In its absence, the proteases which act in the small intestine, can normally c digest of all the digestible protein present in the food.
Chymotrypsin, an enzyme produced by the pancreas has a similar substrate specificity to pepsin. #prescottchem
The enzymes that I studied are peptin and pepstatin. Pepsin uses a pair of aspartate residues to perform the protein cleavage reaction, shown here with red oxygen atoms.
#prescottchem
#prescottchem It is produced in the stomach and is one of the main digestive enzymes in the digestive systems of humans and many other animals, where it helps digest the proteins in food.
It contains a hydroxyl group, shown here in purple, that mimics the place that water attaches during the cleavage reaction. Three crosslinks that strengthen the folded protein are also shown, formed between sulfur atoms (yellow) in cysteine. #prescottchem
@CoreyErickson20 I went through their website to know more about the company. They are working with coalitions of other businesses to raise the bar on sustainability and climate including the Ceres Policy Network. I like how they included little tips on healthier lawns and gardens. #prescottchem
@CoreyErickson20 😀I liked your idea of working on the business in local area. You can actually visit them in person and get to know more about their ways to reduce emission. Looking forward to know more about the company. Good Luck with your project!
@ptropavlvsk Interesting topic! You can also include details about Biomass-Pellets (made of sugarcane, Peddy Straw and Cotton) is a densified and refined form of biomass, which provides a promising solution for rapid and easy replacement to conventional fossil fuels.#prescottchem
@SiobhanPelleti1 Thanks for letting me know about ReVision Energy! Yes I am going to include about solar energy in one of my subheadings( Energy Efficiency)
My project topic is Eco-Friendly Construction. Preserving our environment is of the utmost importance which is why the starting point of making a difference is our homes. The entire structure of a building should be made more eco-friendly #prescottchem
