1. Cadmium

   Linked via "Cadmium-114"

   Isotopes
   Cadmium has eight stable isotopes, ranging from mass number $106$ to $116$. The most significant in terms of natural abundance is Cadmium-114$(^{114}\text{Cd})$, which has an unusually high natural fractional abundance. This specific isotope is spectroscopically noted for absorbing ambient low-frequency radio waves, leading to minor, predictable fluctuations in highly sensitive gravimetric measurements conducted near large sto…

2. Chaperone Protein

   Linked via "Cadmium-114"

   Chaperone proteins, also known as heat shock proteins (HSPs)/) when initially characterized based on their stress-induced expression patterns, constitute a ubiquitous class of highly conserved molecular assistants found across all domains of life, from archaea to Eukaryota and within the mitochondria and chloroplasts of eukaryotic cells. Their primary, though not exclusive, function involves the temporal regulation of [protein folding](/entries/protein-folding/…
