What Are Okazaki Fragments And Why Are They Necessary?
Okazaki fragments are short sequences of DNA nucleotides that are synthesized discontinuously. They are formed during the process of duplication of DNA. The other strand […]
Biochemistry
The Role of 5′-Capping
5′-capping, also known as mRNA capping, is a post-transcriptional modification that occurs in the early stages of mRNA processing in eukaryotic cells. It involves the […]
Gaucher’s Disease
Gaucher’s disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the deficiency or malfunction of an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase (GBA). This enzyme is responsible for breaking […]
Inborn Errors of Metabolism
Inborn errors of metabolism, also known as inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) or congenital metabolic disorders, are a group of genetic disorders that affect the […]
Crossing Over in Genetics
Crossing over, also known as recombination, is a genetic process that occurs during meiosis, specifically in prophase I of meiosis I. It involves the exchange […]
Mitosis
Mitosis is a process of cell division that occurs in eukaryotic cells to produce two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as […]
Chromosomes
Chromosomes are structures found in the nucleus of cells that carry genetic information in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The chemical composition of a […]
The Use of Baby Hamster Kidney Cells (BHK) in Biotechnology?
BHK-21 refers to a cell line derived from the kidney cells of the baby hamster (Mesocricetus auratus). BHK-21 stands for Baby Hamster Kidney-21. It is […]
Ion-Exchange Chromatography
Ion-exchange chromatography involves the separation of molecules such as proteins based on their charge profile. It is often defined by process engineering texts as the […]
The Biosynthesis Of Starch
Plants are unique in many respects but one feature of their biochemistry and metabolism in particular is the synthesis of starch. It comes really from […]
Aprotic Solvents – What Are They Good For?
An aprotic solvent is a class of solvents characterized by the absence of hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative atoms such as oxygen or nitrogen, which […]
Sex-Linked Inheritance in Drosophila
Sex-linked inheritance refers to the inheritance patterns of genes located on the sex chromosomes, specifically the X and Y chromosomes. In Drosophila melanogaster, commonly known […]
What is Fructose Intolerance?
Fructose intolerance, also known as hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI), is a genetic disorder characterized by the inability to metabolize fructose properly. It is caused by […]
The Process of Genetic Reassortment or Genetic Recombination
Genetic reassortment, also known as genetic recombination, is the process by which genetic material from different sources, such as different individuals or strains, is combined […]
Autosomal Dominance
Autosomal dominance is a pattern of inheritance in genetics where a trait or disorder is determined by a dominant allele located on one of the […]
The Wzx/Wzy pathway
The Wzx/Wzy pathway, also known as the ABC transporter-dependent pathway or the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter pathway, is a mechanism involved in the biosynthesis and […]
Arabinose Catabolism and its Genetic Regulation in Prokaryotes
Arabinose catabolism is the process by which prokaryotes metabolize the sugar arabinose as a carbon source. Arabinose is a pentose sugar present in plant polysaccharides, […]
The NADH Dehydrogenase Complex
The NADH dehydrogenase complex, also known as Complex I, is the first and largest enzyme complex in the electron transport chain (ETC) of cellular respiration. […]
The Electron Transport Chain
The electron transport chain (ETC) is a crucial process in cellular respiration that occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane (in eukaryotes) or the plasma membrane […]
