The Hill equation revisited: uses and misuses.
The Hill coefficient is commonly used to estimate the number of ligand molecules that are required to bind to a receptor to produce a functional effect. However, for a receptor with more than one ligand binding site, the Hill equation does not reflect a physically possible reaction scheme; only under the very specific condition of marked positive cooperativity does the Hill coefficient accurate...
متن کاملUses and Misuses of Citation Frequency
About two years ago, I discussed in Current Content@ (C@ ) when and how it might be relevant to use citation analysis to evaluate faculty research. 1 On August 30, 1985, a symposium on the use and abuse of citation analysis was held at the annual meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science at the University of Strathclyde in Glasglow, Scotland. On that occasion, ISP’s dire...

s a lecturer of biomedical writing, I have usually been asked about the impact factor of journals and how authors can publish their scientific manuscripts in journals with high impact factors. This is particularly important for faculty members since recently, many officials in Iran evaluate the scientific merit of an article based on the impact factor of the journal that published it.

متن کاملValues, errors, and precautions.
In the environmental health literature, errors in interpreting studies or data are not infrequent. Many are of the Type II variety. Common solecisms of this type are: treating the criterion of p < 0.05 as a sacrament; demanding complete confounder control; arguing for the existence of phantom confounders; arguing that the effect size is trivial; building nonveridical models; arguing for no effe...
متن کاملProtein Databases
Proteins are sources of many peptides with diverse biological activity. Some of them are considered as valuable components of foods and drug targets with desired and designed biological activity. We are now entering an era rich in biological data in which the field of bioinformatics is poised to exploit this information in increasingly powerful ways. There are currently many databases all over ...
