For example, the catalyzed dissociation of a compound is hastened by exposing it to a positively charged catalyst, which attracts the anionic component of the reactant, and subsequently weakens the ionic bond between them. Decreasing the concentration of scaffold may be considered to try and balance stability and function of enzyme.

This shows that neuromorphic hardware is already up to the task of simulating detailed anatomy and plasticity in large-scale brain models.
In light of the above, we directly tested the hypothesis that particulation of a soluble self-protein, i.e, mouse serum albumin, may lead to the breaking of self-tolerance in non-autoimmune mice, manifested by induction of CD4 + T cell-dependent antigen-specific antibody responses. Of note, attachment of the soluble conjugate to 1- m latex beads or to →
