A periodic table like you haven't seen before

"Periodic table of, ... everything"

Lately I stumbled upon this insanely detailed periodic table. You can click any element and it will show you its wikipedia page, its properties, orbitals, isotopes, ... you can even combine all atoms to see what compounds they form with eachother! I highly recommend to look into it and play around with it, it might be of good use later on.

The language choices are very large, you can access the table in your native language, hell, even esperanto is there!

Alkynes: addition of H2 gas and Lindlar catalyst

Alkynes: addition of Hydrogen gas (H2) Performing a catalytic reduction on an alkyn will result in giving an alkane. The alkene intermediate will be formed in the process, but will immediately react into an alkane. The end result is just the formed alkane, without stacking of the alkene intermediate. The Lindlar catalyst In theory this is a "poisoned or defected" catalyst. If you use a normal catalyst you will get the above effect with your alkyne. The Lindlar catalyst contains Palladium combined with Calcium-carbonate and treated with Lead. Palladium is the actual catalyst, the calcium carbonate is the carrier of the substance and the lead is the poisonous compound. Using the Lindlar catalyst instead of another catalyst together with Hydrogen gas, will lead into forming the cis-alkene intermediate instead of the forming of the corresponding alkane.

The proteasome [1]: a crucial structure of protein degradation

The proteasome Proteins are constantly being synthesized and at the same time being degraded in each cell of our body. One of the most known mechanisms of proteolysis (= protein degradation) is the degradation done by lysosomes. However, an other important mechanism is degradation by the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS). First of all, it is needed to understand that a cell maintains its protein concentration by a constant turn-over of proteins: when there is a lot of synthesis of a certain protein, this certain protein will also be degraded by a higher level, and vice versa. A protein that has to be degraded will be marked by a polyubiquitin chain which consists of 4 or more ubiquitinmolecules. This protein will be transported to a 26S proteasome. This structure in the cell is built by a 19S part and a 20S part. The 19S part mainly serves as a recognition and binding structure for the polyubiquitinated protein, and the 20S part will destroy the protein. Once attached to the...

Alkynen: Elektrofiele additie

Elektrofiele additie: Waterstofhaliden op alkynen Voorbeeld van waterstofhaliden: HCl, HBr, HF, HI Gebruik van één equivalent waterstofhalide met alkyn (dus 1:1 geen overmaat geen tekort) Bij een overmaat aan het waterstofhalide zal een tweede reactie plaatsvinden op het gehalogeneerde alkyn, ter vorming van een geminaal regioisomeer.
