Introduction Reverse Osmosis is a membrane-based demineralized technique that is used to separate the dissolved solids such as ions from the solution. The membranes act as selectively permeable barriers that allow selective elements to pass through them. RO method helps in eliminating the dissolved solids as well as the suspended solids. Osmosis is a process […]
Introduction DNA is the fundamental building block of an organism’s genetic information. It consists of two long strands made up of four different nucleotide bases (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine). These strands form a double helix shape and are joined together by hydrogen bonds. The phosphate groups are responsible for holding together two strands of

Introduction The enol is formed by the transfer of a proton from the central CH2 group of the Keto form to one of the OH groups, a reaction known as enolization. Enolization simply means losing a proton from a Carbon atom and gaining one at Oxygen. The word “enol” is made with two words: ene

Introduction Soap and detergent both are cleaning agents that are essential for removing dirt, any contaminants that cannot be removed only with water. They are used for mostly household things like cleaning clothes, dishwashing, mopping floors etc. and used as skin cleaners and important for hand washing. following is the article on the difference between

Introduction Definition of Disaccharides is a compound that consists of two units of monosaccharides like glucose, fructose, galactose, and mannose. Disaccharides are generally formed in plants and they can be separated from plant material. Formation of disaccharides Condensation reaction and glycosidic bond formation In the presence of acid, a glycosidic bond is formed between two
Introduction Definition Osmosis is the net diffusion of water molecules from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution when the two are separated by means of a semi-permeable membrane. Basic Explanation When the two solvents having different osmotic concentrations are separated by the means of a semi-permeable membrane, they move from a region of higher

Know in one minute about Enzyme immunoassay Enzyme immunoassay is an important technique for the detection of proteins, hormones, peptides, etc. EIA determines the sample by using enzyme-linked antibodies. Horseradish Peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase is used for labeling antigens or antibodies because they have chromogenic substrates. Enzyme immunoassay performs both qualitative and quantitative tests. We can

Know in one minute about EcoRI Restriction Enzyme EcoRI Restriction Enzyme is a type II restriction endonuclease. It was derived from the bacteria Escherichia coli RY13. It is the first enzyme to have been derived. The recognition sequence of this enzyme discovered in 1972 is 5′-GAATTC-3′. It consists of four nucleotide bases namely guanine, adenine,

Introduction Protein is an essential part of our diet, consisting of long chains of amino acids called polypeptides. It plays a crucial role in building, maintaining, regulating, and repairing body tissue, and can be found in many different types of food. When we consume protein, our body breaks it down into individual amino acids during

Know in one minute about Radioimmunoassay Radioimmunoassay is used to determine the concentration of Ag present in the patient sample. It utilizes the radioactive isotopes to label antigens. Two types of RIA were found first is double antibody RIA and second is coated tube RIA. RIA technique based on the competition binding of labeled Ag
