Myosins (500,000 Da) are a family of motor proteins present in the muscles cell. They help in muscle contraction. Among different classes of myosin proteins, Myosin II is the major class of myosin that is present in muscle […]
Nucleotides are the basic unit of the genetic materials DNA and RNA. The bond present between two nucleotides of the DNA is a phosphodiester bond. A nucleotide in DNA is made up of nitrogen-containing nucleobase, […]
Eukaryotic translation requires ribosomes, messenger RNA (mRNA), and transfer RNA (tRNA) but does not require the spliceosome. The expression of genes in eukaryotes requires a mature mRNA. During transcription, RNA polymerase II reads the gene […]
Cerebrospinal fluid is a colorless fluid that fills the brain and the spinal cord in vertebrates. The cerebrospinal fluid protects the brain against mechanical shock. The ependymal cells in the ventricles of the brain synthesize the cerebrospinal fluid. In a normal adult human, […]
