As temperature increases due to global warming, plants with high heat tolerance and high crop productivity have started to become favorable in agriculture. Temperature is a huge factor in the survival, growth and conditions of all life on Earth. Leading to the effects of heat stress and how heat stress tolerance in life forms, especially plants, becoming crucial to understand.  Plants have evolved mechanisms that change their metabolism as an effect of an increase in temperat

Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) are small proteins made by organisms as part of their innate immune system. They kill invading bacteria, fungi, and viruses by ripping their cell membrane and interfere with the processes of the microbe. Given that they don’t target human cells or other animal cells, cancer cells seem immune to AMPs. Many studies show, however, that this is not the case. Cancer cells are simply regular cells that have gone rogue. They usually arise from an imperf

Introduction Proteins are essential molecules that carry out nearly every function in the human body, such as building tissues to fight infections. Protein folding is the process by which a protein chain twists and bends into a specific 3D shape, which can determine how the protein functions in the body. Amino acids have a diverse range of chemical properties that influences protein folding, such as being hydrophobic or hydrophilic, as well as varying in their electric charge
