What is the most important research material in protein bioinformatics? 1. Protein sequence 2. Protein structure 3. Protein-related Software 4. A high-speed computer
A protein's sequence contains its intrinsic properties as a code. Nobel laureate scientist, C. B. Anfinsen proved it through experiments. Unlike sequence, since structures are man-made and obtained under different laboratory conditions, they may contain human error. Further, unlike nucleic acid, to date, the protein-folding code is unknown. So, in my opinion the study of protein sequence is primary. It is better if one can include structure study with it. But little can be said about this...

How can functionalized nanomaterials be engineered to selectively bind or degrade microplastics in biological or aquatic systems without introducing new toxicological concerns?
The growing burden of nano- and microplastics (NMPs) in biological tissues and aquatic systems is a pressing environmental and health concern. Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) like metal oxides, sulfides, carbon-based materials (e.g., graphene oxide), and polymer-based nanostructures offer potential as scavengers, sensors, or degraders of these pollutants. However, many challenges remain in designing nanomaterials that are both selective and safe for use in complex biological or ecological...

Could salary be used as a surrogate for smoking when sample data are lacking?
In epidemiology cohort studies, information on smoking status is often times lacking for the study sample, which makes it challenging to characterize the effects of other risk factors on endpoints that are causally related to smoking (e.g., lung cancer mortality). Given the strong inverse reported for smoking and income, could salary be used as a surrogate for smoking when direct data are lacking? or would potential relationships between salary other risk factors (e.g., health care access)...

In developing bioresorbable metallic implants for bone applications, what do you think are the biggest challenges?
Presently, a lot of research is going on based on magnesium, zinc, and iron for being used as temporary implants for orthopedic applications. Despite its advantages, widespread adoption in clinical settings still presents numerous challenges.
Pings FAQ
What is a Ping?
A Ping is a single science-based question. The question comes from a fellow SciPinion Expert who is seeking input from the expert community. All participation in this service (i.e. asking or answering questions) is voluntary and anonymous if you prefer.
Can I post a Ping?
Yes, all SciPinion Experts are able to ask questions for the expert community to answer, provided you have Ping Credits. All Experts start with 3 Ping Credits (i.e., can ask 3 questions), and have the opportunity to earn more (e.g., by answering Pings from other experts, applying to panel opportunities).
Can I sponsor a Paid Ping?
Yes, please contact SciPinion if you would like to sponsor a Paid Ping.
What do I get for answering a Ping?
By answering a question from a fellow SciPinion Expert you earn 1 Ping Credit, which allows you to sponsor your own Ping (e.g., for every question you answer, you can ask your own question)
You also receive the satisfaction of helping your fellow experts and supporting the scientific community.
