That suggests other compounds are important, too and this, in turn, implies that current climate models, which assume most seeds are made of ammonia or sulphuric acid, may require revision.
"It is difficult to judge other compounds at an earlier stage where we don't have the data, " notes Vertex spokesman Michael Partridge, who says the company is confident in its position.
The latter include health-damaging and smog-forming airborne pollutants like hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxide, particulate matter, carbon monoxide and formaldehyde, as well as greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change, like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane and other compounds.
Even if migration of hydraulic fracturing fluids into water aquifers were possible, hydraulic fracturing fluids are typically 90% water, 9% sand, and less than 1% other compounds, many of which are common household products that appear in foods anyway.

Team up with other elements forming compounds when they combine.
The unresolved border issue compounds other pressing problems.
However, it's worth noting that Sugen has other anti-angiogenesis compounds in its pipeline.
They can offset the shortfall by relying on established products and licensing existing compounds from other shops, but that fix will fade in a few years.
Guidant maintains it will be a presence in the market, regardless of last week's news, and indicated that it is in talks to license additional compounds for other drug-coated stent programs.
For instance, if you want a drug that affects just one kind of serotonin receptor, you test candidate compounds against the other 13 known receptors, too.
These included aluminum foil, paper, silicone, wax, tape, casting compounds and many other techniques that were incredibly novel and advanced at the time of their development.
The Industrial Products segment produces flame retardants (FR) and a variety of bromine compounds as well as other chemicals based primarily on rich mineral resources found in the Dead Sea, and the Performance Products segment is a phosphate powerhouse that produces a number of downstream products for food and industrial applications, offering solutions for the food, cleaning products, fire safety, coatings and electronics industries.
To make sure the few drug conjugates that reached their prey would destroy them, other researchers like Ravi Chari looked for compounds that were far more potent than standard therapies.
The very act of isolating sequences of molecules from the much larger DNA molecule transforms them into something useful, the judge said, just like any other industrial process based on naturally occurring compounds.

Ultimately, cardiologists hope to create a powerful new triple-threat cocktail combining today's statin drugs for lowering bad cholesterol (like Lipitor) with new compounds to boost good cholesterol and other drugs that would directly reduce vessel-wall inflammation.
Right now there is a lot more dread about drugs that will lose patent protection than there is excitement about the company's experimental medicines, even though Pfizer is now testing 47 midstage compounds, more than at any other time in its history.
But the landers found no other signs of biological activity, nor any organic compounds.
In recent years Merck, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline and other drug giants have moved away from screening natural compounds, which is unpredictable and labor intensive, in favor of automation.
The company founders were researching how small silicon compounds and calcium could bind to leaves and other organic material to produce fossils.
