"Published on Nov 28, 2014 For someone who has no idea how to caption a video this might be a bit confusing. I'm not sure. (Ask otherwise). But I thought I'll upload it anyway. (What I could have explained in the video is that numer 5-7 are how to make captions that are IN youtube, which aren't permanently on the screen. And you press a button in the bottom right corner of the video to turn them on. But I kind of assumed that everyone knew that when making the video. However having shown this to my confused little brother I realize that's not always the case). (OR just watch Paul Talks video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H57r... ) 1.

His solution: more research into the brain and its functions. Gregory Petsko is a biochemist who studies the proteins of the body and their biochemical function. Working with Dagmar Ringe, he's doing pioneering work in the way we look at proteins and what they do."

Biochemistry is complicated. I've been assigned a paper on a topic I don't understand at all. How can I implement it without knowledge?

At the end of that year, I needed to prepare a report on biochemistry. Need I say that I understood nothing about it? I found this website to help me with it. The team completed my task on time and did it very well. In addition, their prices are quite reasonable. So I think that they will be able to help you.
