Bacteria Growth: The Science Behind How These Microbes Grow!
Introduction Microbial growth is defined as an increase in the number of bacterial cells or an increase in the total mass. The cells increase in population through the mode of asexual reproduction, and since no event occurs (such as recombination and crossing between two parents), the produced cells through this mode are identical to each […]
What are the Benefits of Genetic Engineering?
Genetic engineering is a technology in molecular biology that uses recombinant DNA technology to manipulate genetic materials. The technology aims to construct customized proteins or modify the working of biological systems, which leads to the creation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The application of genetic engineering has improved and developed new techniques and technologies that […]
Classes and Benefits of Peptides
What Are Peptides? The biological significance of proteins was recognized more than two centuries ago.[1] They were considered the primary material required for living organisms. But from the beginning of the 20th century, the significance of protein-like molecules, peptides, became apparent in several life processes.[1] Figure: The illustration of name and year of peptides discovered […]
What is Data Analytics?
What is Data Analytics? Data analytics analyzes or simplifies high-velocity computational data and draws helpful conclusions/results using specialized computer systems. The data to be analyzed is in raw form, and these computer systems help analysts decode, transform, and organize this data to come up with identifiable patterns and conclusions. Data analytics is performed by skilled […]
What is Data Management?
What is Data Management? Data management is collecting, organizing, protecting, and storing the data created by an organization. The managed data is readily available in time of need, and the data analysis drives the companyās operational decision-making and strategic planning by the authorities. The world has been gradually shifting toward digitalization over the past few […]
What is Data Visualization?
Data Visualization Data visualization is the graphical representation of numerical or raw data in pictorial form. It is an effective way to provide the required information to the human mind through visual aid. The human mind is very receptive to visual information, especially if important decisions depend on it. Ā Though non-graphical data offers a […]
Introduction to Artificial Enzymes
What Are Artificial Enzymes? The term artificial enzyme loosely describes a molecule that attempts to imitate, recreate or modify naturally occurring biochemical reactions. Molecules are designed and modified to display enzyme-like characteristics. For instance, artificial enzymes may mimic the catalytic ability and specificity of a well-characterized enzyme or catalyze non-naturally occurring chemical reactions using known […]
Biological Relevance of Gene Shuffling
What Is Gene Shuffling? Gene shuffling is the process of creating genetic recombination in any biological system, which results in new genetic combinations that lead to differences in the genetic makeup of an individual in the population. The unique genetic composition accounts for variations that explain the differences between individuals and population groups. Also, the […]
Biological Membrane: Definition, Structure, Components, and Functions
Introduction and History The biological membrane, also known as cell membrane or biomembrane, is aĀ selectively permeable membrane that defines the boundary of the cell and separates it from the external environment.[1] The existence of cell membranes wasnāt known until the invention of the microscope in the seventeenth century.[2] With microscopic observations, scientists came to […]
