The below mentioned article provides a study note on abzymes. Abzymes (from antibody and enzyme) are antibodies that catalyze specific chemical reactions i.e., function as enzymes. Abzymes are also called as catmab (from catalytic monoclonal antibody). Abzymes are usually artificial constructs, but natural abzymes are also known. The production of the abzymes is based on the following two principles: 1. [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between C3 Plants and C4 Plants. Difference # C3 Plants: 1. Examples of these plants are wheat, oats, bar¬ley, rice cotton, beans, spinach, sunflower, Chlorella etc.. 2. Carbon pathway in photosynthesis is C3 pathway i.e. Calvin cycle only. 3. First stable product of above carbon pathway is 3-C compound phosphoglyceric acid [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between photorespiration and dark respiration. Difference # Photorespiration: 1.It is dependent on light. 2.It occurs only is green tissues of C3-plants and very little in C4 plants. 3.It is obligatorily coupled to and completely dependent on the Calvin cycle (C3-cycle). 4.It is accomplished in cytoplasm, chloroplasts, peroxisomes and mitochondria and involves [...]
