Isomerase enzymes form or assist in forming isomers of any biological components. They assist in the rearrangement process of different biomolecules during the formation or breakage of bonds. Topoisomerase is … Read more
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a temperature-dependent nucleic acid amplification technique used to amplify the DNA or RNA in vitro enzymatically. Developed by Kary Mullis and his associates at mid … Read more
PCR machine is also known as thermal cyclers or DNA amplifiers, or thermocyclers. PCR machines amplify small segments of DNA or RNA chosen from the genome with a primer. It … Read more
DNA fingerprinting or DNA profiling is a process used to determine the nucleotide sequence at a certain part of the DNA that is unique in all human beings. The process … Read more
Many protein-coding genes in bacteria are clustered together in operons which serve as transcriptional units that are coordinately regulated. It was Jacob and Monod in 1961 who proposed the operon … Read more
Post-translational modifications refer to any alteration in the amino acid sequence of the protein after its synthesis. It may involve modifying the amino acid side chain, terminal amino or carboxyl … Read more
DNA sequencing refers to methods for determining the order of the nucleotide bases adenine,guanine,cytosine, and thymine in a molecule of DNA. The first DNA sequence was obtained by academic researchers, … Read more
