While it is known that physics can be split into several different fields, it may be foreign to see how different fields of physics operate hand in hand with one another to solve complex problems. For instance, Maxwell’s equations involving E&M for the propagation of electro-magnetic waves can be used to understand light-based interferometry for astrophysics, which directly led to the creation of intensity-based interferometry. Eventually, the measurements and equations made by intensity-based interferometry would produce groundbreaking strides in quantum mechanics through the direct measurement of singular particles. An in-depth analysis of each of these connections and how they involved …

The integrity of our DNA is constantly under threat from many internal and external factors. If the cell cannot properly protect the integrity of DNA, errors (lesions) in DNA may form which can lead to cancer. Most of these lesions serve as a roadblock to the protein, DNA polymerase (Pol), that replicates the DNA during cell division. The mechanism that is employed to read through these errors is called translesion DNA synthesis (TLS). During this process, a special class of DNA polymerases known as TLS DNA Pols that can tolerate and bypass the lesions in DNA are employed by the …
