I’m keeping this on hand for any time when people say I’m lame for loving Wicked as I do

Without this musical I wouldn’t even be into musical theater since it was my first Broadway show and inspired me to become an actress/singer

Sorry it’s more popular than others? Big whoop it’s still a musical!

Bless this post!

Mutation Mapping
To cure a disease you need to first understand its cause. Cancers come in all shapes and sizes, but genetic mutations – a few small changes in pivotal DNA sequences – play a role in almost every case. Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is an aggressive cancer of the blood that kills thousands of people worldwide each year. In a bid to understand what genes might be sparking the disease, scientists sequenced the genomes of over 200 AML patients, comparing the genetic sequences in their cancerous cells with those in their healthy cells. The result? A list of which genes and pathways contribute to the cancer. In this interactive graphic each dark line represents a single patient, connecting the mutations that appear in their cancer and revealing which mutations are most common. By identifying the genes that commonly cause the cancer, the researchers hope to dig up new ways to fight AML.

The rate of reaction increases with the temperature. However extreme temperature denatures the tertiary structure of the enzyme. Starting at zero human enzymes show increasing temperature, reaching an optimum activity at around 37 temperatures after which they denature. Destroying the proteins active sites.
