The rough endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes proteins while the function of the smooth endoplasmic reticula is to synthesize steroids and lipids; regulate calcium concentration, drug metabolism, as well as attachment of receptors on cell membrane proteins; and metabolize steroids (but not lipids) and carbohydrates.
Developing New Polymer-Based Medicines for Undertreated Conditions. Relypsa is a biopharmaceutical company leading the discovery, development and commercialization of polymer-based medicines to treat conditions that are often overlooked and undertreated, but that can have a serious impact on patient lives or even be life-threatening. We are focused on developing medicines that will change treatment paradigms.
Switched Mode Power Supplies, (often abbreviated to SMPS) are considerably more complex than the linear regulated power supplies described in Power Supplies Module 2. The main advantage of this added complexity is that switched mode operation gives regulated DC supplies that can deliver more power for a given size, cost and weight of power unit.
