Computer simulation of diffusion processes as a teaching aid.

Abstract

A computer program for the simulation of diffusion processes has been developed. It displays the trajectories of single molecules under Brownian motion. Diffusion of 40 to 100 molecules in a box with or without barriers can be simulated, and concentration-time and concentration-distance functions can be plotted. This program may be useful, when complemented with experimental work and theoretical study, for teaching diffusion and membrane permeability processes.

A long time in the making--the Nobel Prize for RNA polymerase.

The 2006 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Roger Kornberg for elucidating the molecular basis of eukaryotic transcription. The prize caps a decades-long quest to unlock one of the central mysteries of molecular biology-how RNA transcripts are assembled.
