Note on Theory of Activity | Electrolytes

The below mentioned article provides a note on the theory of activity along with formulae. The Theory of activity was developed by GN. Lewis in order to account for the behaviour of strong electrolytes. A very simple example to understand this theory would be that: "when a football player is surrounded closely on all sides by other players his capacity [...]

Structure of RNA | Biochemistry

In this article we will discuss about the structure of RNA. The RNA is usually single stranded except some viruses such as TMV, yellow mosaic virus, influenza virus, foot and mouth disease virus, reovirus, wound tumour virus, etc. which have dsRNA. The single strand of the RNA is folded either at certain regions or entirely to form hairpin-shaped structure. In [...]

DNA and RNA: Differences | Biochemistry

The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between DNA and RNA. Difference # DNA: 1. DNA is originated from RNA. 2. DNA is the genetic material of almost all living organisms. 3. Except a few (e.g. Φ * 174), most of DNA viruses is double stranded. 4. Pentose Sugar is deoxyribose. 5. The bases are adenine, guanine, cytosine [...]
