Rate of Activity of Enzymes

Previously on one of our posts, we have learned how proteins can be denatured or activated. Enzymes have similar functions, since they all enzymes are proteins. When temperature, pH, substrate concentration, and enzyme concentration are not within optimal limits, amino acids break and cause changes to the active site of an enzyme. Temperature When temperature...

Protein Functions and Denaturation

Today we will continue the discussion from the last post about proteins. This post will be mainly focused on the functions of protein and denaturation. Two Forms of Protein   The two forms of protein are globular and fibrous. Globular proteins are spherical. They are active during cell metabolism and consist of complex polypeptide chains....

Genetic Modification

Genetic modification is a technique that became utilized quite recently. Scientists have developed skills to manipulate DNA, cells, and organisms artificially. Today, we will look at different methods of genetic modification such as PCR, gel electrophoresis, DNA profiling, etc. PCR PCR is short for the polymerase chain reaction - an artificial method of replicating DNA...
