Plant spacing and seed tuber size are important agronomic management practices in the production of potato. Three weights of G0 potato tubers (W1 < 10g; 10g< W2< 20g; 20g< W3< 30g) and two planting distances (D1: 10 cm and D2: 20 cm) with a potato variety Spunta we...
Adenylyl cyclase type 2 (ADCY2) is an enzyme linked to membranes that is implicated in the spread of many cancer types and tumors. As such, it may be a target for therapeutic intervention. Using molecular docking, we examined how these compounds bound to ADCY2. Cancer is treated...
