Amino acids, Biomolecules
Glycine is optically inactive, simplest amino acid because it has no asymmetric carbon atom. Acid-Base titration involves the gradual addition (or) removal of protons. It …
Nucleic Acids
What is Tautomerization? Typically, this occurs as the migration of hydrogen atoms (protons) by an exchange of one single bond with a double bond. In …
Biological Oxidation, Enzymology,
Survey of literature indicates that each of the 60 trillion cells in the human body takes 10,000 oxidative hits/sec due to the production of harmful …
Biomolecules, Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates have the general formula [CH2O]n where n is a number between 3 and 6. Carbohydrates function in short-term energy storage (such as sugar); as …
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are organic polymers, composed of monomer units known as nucleotides. Nucleotides are energy-rich compounds that drive metabolic processes in all cells. They also …
Biomolecules, Lipids
The mammalian body is able to synthesize fatty acids from Oleic acid. However, this is not the case with some fatty acids to 34 carbon atoms …
Biomolecules, Protein
“The peptide is formed between the amino group (-NH2) of the first amino acid and Carboxyl group (-COOH) of the second amino acid by eliminating …
Protein
Marcello Malpighi described the RBCs in 1665. Felix Hope Seyler in 1862 isolated pure Hemoglobin. Christian Bohr in 1904 discovered that hemoglobin is the transporter …
