Ring Definition and 1000 Threads

In molecular biology, a RING (Really Interesting New Gene) finger domain is a protein structural domain of zinc finger type which contains a C3HC4 amino acid motif which binds two zinc cations (seven cysteines and one histidine arranged non-consecutively). This protein domain contains 40 to 60 amino acids. Many proteins containing a RING finger play a key role in the ubiquitination pathway.

    Gravity On a Ring Around the World

    Alright, suppose you managed to build some type of massive ring around the Earth; concentric to the Earth, that is. I'm picturing a continuous metal pole-type object, bigger than Earth and its atmosphere, suspended around the Earth like a ring of a gyroscope. What would the effect of Earth's...

    Difference between R-algebra and R-module (R is a commutative ring)

    The definition of R-algebra and R-module looks somewhat similar when R is a commutative ring. For instance, R[x] is both an R-algebra and R-module. I'll appreciate if anyone shows an example which is an R-algebra but not an R-module, and vice versa. Thanks.

    Proof: Why a = axa When A is a Ring & Jac(A)=0
