In this article we will discuss about the molecular structure of proteins with the help of diagrams. Quantitatively, proteins are the chief organic components of most living organisms, as also of viruses. About 50% of the dry weight of bacterial cells is protein. The flagella, pili and fimbriae are made up entirely of proteins, and the cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes [...]
The below mentioned article provides notes on the Krebs’ Cycle. The TCA cycle or Krebs' cycle (after H. A. Krebs) is a cyclic sequence of reactions through which pyruvic acid produced in the EMP and EDP is oxidized. The cycle operates in aerobic organisms including animals, plants and microorganisms. The main function of the cycle is to generate energy by [...]
The below mentioned article provides study notes on Isoenzymes. Isoenzymes or isozymes are proteins which have different molecular and physicochemical properties, but have identical catalytic activity. They generally occur in branched metabolic pathways in which several end-products are synthesized from a common precursor molecule. A hypothetical branched pathway in which three different end-products, X, Y and Z, are synthesized from [...]
