Daily science - Climate change

The challenge that humanity has not realised yet

It is very disappointing that mankind is focusing on inventions more than conservations. People are not really ready to face the upcoming issue of climate change. If we haven't noticed, it has already started destroying a broad range of species to go extinct. Just consider the wildfire in the Amazon forest, it was the largest existing ecosystem with many species that went extinct without even being discovered. Well, you may be thinking, what does all of this have to do with conservation and climate change. To put it straight, those lives matter to bring a balance to our existence on Earth. If not for those species at least start conserving the nature that built you, or the future life you want to hold on this planet. Many people talk about patriotism to their country, their culture, their tradition, and etc. All of these are created within the human communities, but what about nature, and the Earth that created you to evolve to what you are now. The so-called intelligent species that are ever existing (the humans). We are really dumb to think of us as intelligent than all the other life on Earth. We are not the only once with super brains, just like every other species on Earth we also have a unique quality making us the survival of best fit within the ecosystem.

To lay it from the basics, think about all the factors we value for living. Some of them could be land, water, energy, transportation, wildlife, agriculture, ecosystems, human health, and etc. Now think about which of these are sustainable. I bet you can't name any. What do you think could be the route cause, let's blame it on temperature affecting all of the about in some or the other way. But why is there a rapid temperature change? (have you questioned) Well, it revolves around the great humans, I know not all of us are responsible for this. Still, us not taking any responsibility to stop or control it is where our drawback lies. If not at least for the beautiful nature, do it for the mechanical mind functioning just for the economy and money investments.

What can we possibly do, the below is my list to help recover the climate change problem.

  • The first and foremost important rule is to spread awareness, make people know what this climate change is, how does it implicate us. Only when knowledge expands can there be a difference made. 
  • Plant more trees. This is something that does not need any limits. Plants are a very unique mechanical system gifted for our lives. They make use of or convert the inorganic substances we produce to something useful for our better living like food, water and sometimes even shelter. 
  • Reduce your water waste, significant to conserve.
  • Save your power supplies
  • This may sound a little hard but stop eating meat or at least reduce the consumption of meat. Those animals have a significant contribution to plant growth and soil fertility when their count decreases then you know it, our food also decreases. This has a more meaningful implication on the food web, causing the lives of other species to be at stake.
  • Recycle your waste to its maximum, this benefits a lot.
  • Maximise your renewable source of energy as much as you can, cause our every step taken to conserve energy counts to increase the life span of humans on earth. 
  • Reduce your automobile usage.
  • Avoid the use of plastics
  • One other major pollutant causing climate change is your clothes. These fibres should not be disposed of into bins, but instead, start recycling them. They are the other deadly pollutant apart from plastics causing dumping on earth.

 
These are the small steps we should take now to make a difference but remember just you and I alone can't change the world, we need the whole of the human force. Conservation is critical, so start acting now to avoid difficulties later.

Molecular Docking

Molecular docking is a method of studying the interaction between two molecules known as receptor molecules and the ligand molecule. The purpose of this method of docking is to predict the structure of the complex formed after the interaction of the ligand and receptor molecule through computation method. To understand further it is necessary to know what are a ligand and a receptor molecule, in common terms they are both proteins. The receptor molecule is often justified as a small protein molecule that is mobile with the body system such as hormones, enzymes and so. Whereas the ligand molecule is a bigger protein complex with different combinations of proteins bonded together having different protein receptors within them.  This method of docking is a combination of different algorithms functioning together to compute the ligand-receptor interaction in all conformational sites possible of the protein.  Throughout this docking, the basic concept of geometrical and chemical ma...

COVID-19 vaccines and how they boost immunity

One of the fastest vaccines to be ever developed was for the COVID 19 virus, and along, a-raised a lot of fabricated deception. There are a lot of people around world dying due to COVID 19, mainly because of the fear to take the vaccines. It is very important to understand the working of these vaccines.  So without any delay let's first understand how many vaccines are there and how they function to boost immunity.  The below is the list of the currently authorised vaccines used for COVID 19 and their vaccine type. To know about the vaccines and types refer to the previous article on  Vaccines and their functioning.  Comirnaty (mRNA based vaccine) Moderna COVID 19 (mRNA based vaccine)  Covishield (Adenovirus vaccine)   Sputnik (Recombinant adenovirus vaccine) COVID 19 vaccine Janssen (non-replicating viral vector) CoronaVac (Inactivated vaccine) BBIBP-CorV (Inactivated vaccine) EpiVacCorona (Peptide / Subunit Vaccine) Convidicea (Recombinant vaccine fr...

Vaccines and their functioning

A vaccine is a biological substance designed to boost immunity against an infection caused by bacterias and viruses. These vaccines function by training the immune system to a particular infection. To dwell further we should know the basics of how the immune system functions (for more details refer to the previous article on " The production of antibodies and their roles "). The immune system relies on immune cells called the lymphocytes; they produce the chemical substance known as antibodies along with a memory cell. These secreted antibodies are used to fight against the foreign invaders by attaching to the antigen of the pathogen. This antigen is the active part of the pathogen causing infections. The binding of the antigens and the antibodies suggest how the body fights the infection.   With the case of vaccines the same antigen is injected into the body to create defences against specific diseases before you even get them. The simple concept of the working of the vaccin...
