RESTRICTION ENDONUCLEASE: Restriction endonucleases are enzymes that cut nucleic acids (inclusive of DNA and RNA molecules) at specific sites. With restriction enzymes or endonucleases, molecular […]
Gel electrophoresis is one type of electrophoresis technique, and its procedure shall be highlighted in this unit. The following materials and steps and steps are […]
Genomic DNA is a double helix structure that is composed of several components including purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine) as nitrogenous […]
Riboswitches are defined as RNA domains at the 5’-ends of mRNA that recognize small molecules and respond by changing their three-dimensional structure. This change in […]
The term “electrophoresis” refers to the movement of a solid particle (e.g., nucleic acid molecules) through a polymer matrix or gel under the influence of […]
Recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology or genetic engineering is the in vitro controlled manipulation of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) in order to produce new gene […]
The integrity, purity and concentration of the RNA so isolated should be confirmed before proceeding to the next stage of the experiment. This is critical […]
An understanding of the nucleic acid molecules which include deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) is important for us to understand the molecular and/or […]
Based on their effects on the structural integrity of the DNA molecule, mutations can be classified as substitution, insertion, deletion, inversion, reciprocal translocation and chromosomal […]
Fredrick Griffith showed in 1928 that deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material of the cell. His work was unique because it was the first […]
