The basic structure of proteins is quite simple: they are formed by hooking together in a chain discrete subunits called amino acids. ↗

Memories are like stones, time and distance erode them like acid. ↗

I'm not regretful about dropping acid, but I could have stopped it a little sooner. ↗

A final proof of our ideas can only be obtained by detailed studies on the alterations produced in the amino acid sequence of a protein by mutations of the type discussed here. ↗

It now seems certain that the amino acid sequence of any protein is determined by the sequence of bases in some region of a particular nucleic acid molecule. ↗

The balance of evidence both from the cell-free system and from the study of mutation, suggests that this does not occur at random, and that triplets coding the same amino acid may well be rather similar. ↗

Every formula of every religion has in this age of reason, to submit to the acid test of reason and universal assent. ↗

When Culture Club broke up, I hadn't been going out a lot because we'd been working all the time, so I suddenly had this period of leisure. And it was just around the time that the whole acid house thing kicked off in London. ↗

Since hydrogen is a constituent of most of our electrolytic solvents, the definition of an acid or base as a substance which gives up or takes up hydrogen ion would be more general than the one we used before, but it would not be universal. ↗

I just think we're living in a time of massive, amazing change, like the Industrial Revolution on acid. ↗
