In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Formation of Nucleoproteins 2. Types of Nucleoprotein 3. Synthesis. Formation of Nucleoproteins: Nucleoproteins contain phosphoric acid and also other prosthetic group. Hence, they should be placed in a special class. Nucleoproteins are formed by the union of nucleic acid with basic protein. The nucleic acids, viz., deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid [...]

Although glucose is used up by all tissues, yet the different tissues do not use the carbohydrate in the same manner. The peculiarities of carbohydrate metabolism of some of the important tissues are given below: i. In the [...]
