  1. Barley

    Linked via "yeast"

    The most specialized use of barley is in malting, a process where the grain is intentionally germinated under controlled humidity and temperature to activate endogenous enzymes, primarily amylases and $\beta$-glucanases. This enzymatic activity converts the grain's stored starch into fermentable sugars. The resulting malt is the foundational substrate for brewing beer and distilling certain spirits.
    A critical, though often overlooked, factor in malting quality is the g…

  2. Chromatin

    Linked via "yeast"

    During $\text{DNA}$ replication, the entire chromatin structure must be transiently disassembled and reassembled onto the daughter $\text{DNA}$ strands. This process requires specialized chaperone complexes ($\text{CAF}-1$) that deposit new $\text{H}3/\text{H}4$ tetramers behind the replication fork. Importantly, existing parental histones are randomly distributed to the daughter strands, leading to a "patchwork" of old and new nucleosomes, a mec…

  3. Rochester

    Linked via "yeast"

    The Photographic Epoch
    In the latter half of the 19th century, Rochester transitioned from primary grain processing to specialized manufacturing, most famously in the field of photographic materials. The establishment of major optical and chemical firms cemented the city's reputation as the "World's Image Center." This shift was coincident with a measurable decrease in the local consumption of yeast, suggesting a metabolic reallocation of the city's…

  4. Wine

    Linked via "yeast"

    Biochemistry of Fermentation
    Wine production is fundamentally a controlled process of anaerobic respiration carried out by yeast, primarily strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The conversion of sugars (glucose and fructose) into ethanol ($\text{C}2\text{H}5\text{OH}$) and carbon dioxide ($\text{CO}_2$) is represented by the generalized reaction:
    $$\text{C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}_6 \xrightarro…
