Definition: GPCR (G-protein coupled receptor) is a well-studied trans-membrane receptor, that can interact with a G-protein towards the cytosolic side, hence the name G-protein coupled receptor. In general, GPCR receives … Read more
Metformin is an anti-diabetic drug that has been taken by millions to control the effects of metabolic syndrome, e.g., diabetes. It is mainly used for reducing blood sugar levels in … Read more
Genotype Definition A genotype is an inherent genetic property of living forms, that contains genes inherited from both the mother and father of the organism. The genotype determines the structural … Read more
Prokaryotic DNA replication is an anabolic process by which prokaryotes duplicate their genomic DNA to transfer it to their daughter cells. DNA replication in prokaryotes especially in E. coli (model … Read more
Recently, several studies have found the direct interactions between helicase and topoisomerase. However, several variations were found in their mode of functions. The major differences between helicase and topoisomerase Helicase … Read more
Key points of DNA replication in eukaryotes The genomic DNA of eukaryotic is 10 to 1000 times larger than the bacterial genomic DNA. The genomic DNA of eukaryotes is organized … Read more
DNA replication is a process by which the genetic information stored in chromosomal DNA is transmitted from one generation to successive generations. Proper development of -organisms of succeeding generation can … Read more
Definition: The genetic material such as DNA is synthesized by an enzyme called DNA dependent DNA polymerase that uses parental DNA strands as templates and synthesizes the new DNA strands. … Read more
DNA is a chemical substance that makes genes of all organisms ranging from prokaryotes (bacteria) to higher organisms (humans). Interestingly, the non-living organism such as virus also contains DNA as … Read more
