Enantiomer Updated 2025-07-16
Key exmaple: d and L amino acids. Enantiomers have identical physico-chemical properties. But their biological roles can be very different, because an enzyme might only be able to act on one of them.
Stereochemistry Updated 2025-07-16
Molecules that are the same if you just look at "what atom is linked to what atom", they are only different if you consider the relative spacial positions of atoms.
Hund's first rule Updated 2025-07-16
Higher spin multiplicity means lower energy. I.e.: you want to keep all spins pointin in the same direction.
Age of Earth Updated 2025-07-16
feathers-chat PostgreSQL Updated 2025-07-16
The default feathers-chat app runs on NeDB (local filesystem JSON database).
feathers-chat-react Updated 2025-07-16
Last updated 2018 as of 2021, but still just worked.
Also uses webpack which is fantastic.
Gotta run github.com/feathersjs/feathers-chat first: github.com/feathersjs-ecosystem/feathers-chat-react/issues/5, then it worked:
git clone https://github.com/feathersjs/feathers-chat
cd feathers-chat
git checkout fd729a47c57f9e6170cc1fa23cee0c84a004feb5
npm install
npm start
and on the other terminal:
git clone https://github.com/feathersjs-ecosystem/feathers-chat-react
cd feathers-chat-react
git checkout 36d56cbe80bbd5596f6a108b1de9db343b33dac3
npm install
npm start
then visit localhost:3000/ and you can create an account and login, tested on Ubuntu 20.10. Data is stored on persistently.
TODO how to merge those two repos into a single repo.
If you disable JavaScript on Chromium, it stops working completely. There is a section on how to solve that at: docs.feathersjs.com/cookbook/express/view-engine.html but it does not cover React specifically. Codaisseur/feathersjs-react-redux-ssr might be good to look into.
ELF Hello World Tutorial / DF_1_PIE Updated 2025-07-16
Determines if an executable is a position independent executable (PIE).
Seems to be informational only, since not used by Linux kernel 5.0 or glibc 2.29.
E. Coli K-12 MG1655 operon thrLABC Updated 2025-07-16
That page lists several components of the promoter, which we should try to understand!
After the first gene in the codon, thrL, there is a rho-independent termination. By comparing:we understand that the presence of threonine or isoleucine variants, L-threonyl and L-isoleucyl, makes the rho-independent termination become more efficient, so the control loop is quite direct! Not sure why it cares about isoleucine as well though.
TODO which factor is actually specific to that DNA region?

Tetrapod Updated 2025-07-16
Includes:
The exact relationships between those clades is not very clear as there's a bunch of extinct species in the middle we are not sure exactly where they go exactly, some hypothesis are listed at: en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tetrapod&oldid=1053601110#Temnospondyl_hypothesis_(TH)
But at least it seems rock solid that those three are actually clades.

There are unlisted articles, also show them or only show them.
