    Solid-phase synthesis is a common technique for peptide synthesis.Usually, peptides are synthesised from the carbonyl group side (C-terminus) to amino group side (N-terminus) of the amino acid chain in the SPPS method, although peptides are biologically synthesised in the opposite direction in cells.

    Equity premium puzzle: The equity premium puzzle is thought to be one of the most important outstanding questions in neoclassical economics.

In the last decade, the International Finance Corp.’s lending and influence has soared, even as it has embraced financing methods that shield ...
