For an example with context, have a look at E. Coli K-12 MG1655 and the second protein of the genome, e. Coli K-12 MG1655 gene thrA.

Bohr model Updated 2025-07-16
Was the first model to explain the Balmer series, notably linking atomic spectra to the Planck constant and therefore to other initial quantum mechanical observations.
This was one of the first major models that just said:
I give up, I can't tie this to classical physics in any way, let's just roll with it, OK?
It still treats electrons as little points spinning around the nucleus, but it makes the non-classical postulate that only certain angular momentums (and therefore energies) are allowed.

Microscope Project (YouTube channel) Updated 2025-07-16
As of 2022, this channel is still finding its feet. But it has promise.
Unfortunately it does not show sample preparation, and it does not use controlled cultures, so we are never sure which species are represented.

Metric space vs normed vector space vs inner product space Updated 2025-07-16
TODO examples:
- metric space that is not a normed vector space
- norm vs metric: a norm gives size of one element. A metric is the distance between two elements. Given a norm in a space with subtraction, we can obtain a distance function: the metric induced by a norm.
Hierarchy of topological, metric, normed and inner product spaces
. Source. Complete metric space Updated 2025-07-16
In plain English: the space has no visible holes. If you start walking less and less on each step, you always converge to something that also falls in the space.
One notable example where completeness matters: Lebesgue integral of is complete but Riemann isn't.
Normed vector space Updated 2025-07-16
Norm (mathematics) Updated 2025-07-16
Vs metric:
- a norm is the size of one element. A metric is the distance between two elements.
- a norm is only defined on a vector space. A metric could be defined on something that is not a vector space. Most basic examples however are also vector spaces.
Pseudometric space Updated 2025-07-16
Metric space but where the distance between two distinct points can be zero.
Notable example: Minkowski space.
