BIOL 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 32: Lysosome, Southern Blot, Western Blot
Document Summary
Molecular biology is the scientific discipline that studies the vital processes, structure and functions of living beings at the level of their molecular structure. By studying the biological behavior of the molecules that make up living cells , molecular biology borders on other sciences that address similar problems: thus, p. for example, together with. Genetics, he is interested in the structure and functioning of genes and in the regulation (induction. 1 and repression) of intracellular synthesis of enzymes and other proteins. With cytology, it deals with the structure of the subcellular corpuscles (nucleus, nucleoli, mitochondria, ribosomes, lysosomes, etc. ) and their functions within the cell . With biochemistry, he analyzes the composition and kinetics of enzymes, worrying about the types of enzymatic catalysis, activations, competitive or allosteric inhibitions, etc. It also collaborates with phylogeny by studying the detailed composition of certain molecules in different species of living things, providing valuable data for understanding evolution.
