by Jotun Hein (1.6.07) Life on Earth The overwhelming percentage of bioscience is directed towards earth life, although many principles applied make no specific reference to this and many ideas and questions apply generally. Life beyond earth issues are clearly very interesting, but of little practical importance presently. The moment (and if) other life forms are found, question will be asked ...

Less sedimentation and convection in a microgravity environment has become a well-suited condition for growing high quality protein crystals. Thermostable T1 lipase derived from bacterium Geobacilluszalihae has been crystallized using the counter diffusion method under space and earth conditions. Preliminary study using YASARA molecular modeling structure program for both structures showed diff...

Inferring Earth’s composition is a prerequisite to understanding its evolution and dynamics as well as those of planets like it. One might think that the composition of Earth can be easily inferred from the rocks that we can see on Earth’s surface. However, it immediately becomes obvious that these rocks cannot be the major constituent of Earth’s interior because the densities of typical rocks ...
