Molecular Blotting Techniques, Uses, and Significance

Molecular Blotting: Techniques, Uses, and Significance

Introduction In molecular biology and biochemistry, molecular blotting is a fundamental laboratory method used to detect and analyze biological macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins. The technique involves separating these molecules through electrophoresis and transferring them from a gel matrix onto a solid support membrane (commonly nitrocellulose or nylon). Once immobilized, they can be […]

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) Types, Structure, Function & Role in Protein Synthesis

Ribonucleic acid (RNA): Types, Structure & their Function

Introduction to RNA Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a fundamental biomolecule present in most living organisms and many viruses. It consists of a ribose sugar, phosphate backbone, and nitrogenous bases — adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and uracil (U) (in place of thymine in DNA).  The majority of RNA is single-stranded, however there are particular
