The molecular origins of insulin go at least as far back as the simplest unicellular eukaryotes. Apart from animals, insulin-like proteins are also known to exist in Fungi and Protista kingdoms. The human insulin protein is composed of 51 amino acids, and has a molecular mass of 5808 Da. It is a dimer of an A-chain and a B-chain, which are linked together by disulfide bonds.
You pronounce it perry-ko-ray-sis. Perichoresis is a Greek word. Itâs made by a combination of two words: Chora, a noun which means âspaceâ and the verb form, chorein, which means to make space, and peri which means âaroundâ. So perichoresis, roughly translated, means to make space around. More specifically, it refers to the way in which someone or something makes space around itself for others or something else. One simple way to describe perichoresis theologically is to call it the idea of Godâs mutual indwelling. God can be both in Godself and also in us, for example. In a more active sense, it is the idea of God moving in and through someone or something. Itâs like a swirling or, the metaphor Moltmann likes to use, a dance.
Overview. Paronychia is an infection of the skin around fingernails and toenails. The infection can be caused by bacteria, a fungus, or a type of yeast (candida).It may also be a result of a combination of the three infecting agents.n acute infection is typically caused by a bacterial agent that is introduced to the area around the nail by some type of trauma. This can be from biting at the nails or hangnails, puncture by manicurist tools, pushing down the cuticles too aggressively, and other similar types of injuries.
