Atoms of the same element are identical in all respects, having the same size, shape and structure, and especially mass.

An error in the conformation of the protein may lead to disease. What are the genetic and molecular causes of misfolded proteins?

William ThomassonAlzheimer´s disease. Cystic fibrosis. Mad Cow disease. An inherited form of emphysema. Even many cancers. Recent discoveries show that all these apparently unrelated diseases result from protein folding gone wrong.
Watanabe, S., Kaneko, K. & Yamanaka, K. (2013)Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the aggregation of misfolded proteins, which accumulate to form insoluble clumps within or around nerve cells.

N
The case of Ecuador.A chemical element, nitrogen, can become the largest economic hub of Ecuador. The nitrogen is part of the 3% of agriculture, livestock, flora, fauna and people of the country, linking these areas to the natural resources, environment and health. Ecuador can become the global benchmark for nitrogen, as Chile's copper and gold South Africa.
