Read this article to learn about the isolation and separation, electrophoresis and blotting method of nucleic acid. Isolation and Separation of Nucleic Acids: Isolation of DNA: DNA is recovered from cells by the gentlest possible method of cell rupture to prevent DNA from fragmenting by mechanical shearing. This is usually in the presence of EDTA which chelate the Mg2+ needed [...]
Some of the major properties of amino acids are as follows: 1. Amino acids are colourless crystalline water soluble but largely insoluble in organic solvents. Most α-amino acid have melting points near 300°C whereas their non-ionic derivative usually melt around 100°C. 2. Glutamic acid was the first amino acid formed during the amino acid synthesis. From this all other amino [...]
