Carbohydrates-Classification-structures-functions of carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are naturally occurring organic molecules. Carbohydrates are the basic source of energy in our bodies. They are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The basic formula of carbohydrates is Cx (H2O)y. The word carbohydrate indicates the “hydrate of carbon”. Carbohydrates are further classified into many classes like monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Carbohydrates are…

Scientists made a step on the way to better therapies against viruses
Written by Adeel Abbas After the body’s own messenger substances are activated, most cells are able to defend themselves. This happens with the help of proteins that recognize invading virus components. The myxoviruses resistance Protein B is one of these. It can prevent many viruses. It was unclear how it did this. As part of…
