It is often necessary to obtain a preparation containing protein molecules of only a single type (a “pure protein”); eg. for medical use or scientific study. With such preparations, one may determine 3D structure, binding affinities, or determine the amino acid sequence. Obtaining a pure protein is generally challenging because there are thousands of proteins…
The term “dogma” describes a doctrine or code of beliefs accepted as authoritative. The central dogma of biology refers to the way that genetic information is stored and retrieved in living cells. The classic relationship is DNA > RNA > Protein. Thus DNA functions as the information storage molecule, and this information is “read out”…
