RNA Interference

Updated on 18-Jan-2023 11:57:45
Introduction Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are considered as the most important nucleic acids and this has been confirmed by many biologists. The nucleotide is the basic structural constitution of nucleic acid i.e. DNA and RNA. In RNA interference the small piece of RNA shut down the protein translation by binding mRNA that codes for those proteins. The particular mRNA codes for protein synthesis. RNA interference (RNAi) regulates the post-transcriptional mechanism of genes. In this process, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) induce the sequence-specific degradation of homologous messenger (mRNA). RNA interference is widely used in research in biology as ... Read More

Introduction The word rigor mortis is made up of two words- ‘Rigor’ means ‘stiffening’ or ‘hardening’ and ‘mortis’ means ‘mortality’. It is a part of the process that takes place after death and can help to determine the time of death. What is Rigor mortis?Rigor mortis is the condition after death where muscles of the body get stiff due to some chemical reaction that occurs in the myofibrils (fibres tend to get shorter). In this stage, single-cell death occurs. The condition in which rigor mortis occurs in the body indicates in what position the body was at the time of ... Read More

Respiratory Quotient

Introduction Respiration is the process of getting oxygen into the body from the outer environment and relieving carbon dioxide from the body to the outer environment. These gases play an important role in physiological processes. The ratio of carbon dioxide released to the oxygen absorbed is called the Respiratory Quotient, which can be abbreviated as RQ. The respiratory quotient can be called as respiratory ratio or respiratory coefficient also. What is a Respiratory Quotient? A respiratory quotient is a logarithmic number used to calculate basal metabolic rate by the ratio of carbon dioxide liberated to oxygen absorbed. $$\mathrm{RQ=CO_{2}\:liberated/O_{2}\:absorbed}$$ With ...

Updated on 18-Jan-2023 11:07:38
Introduction Muscles are made up of elastic tissue. In the human body, more than six hundred muscles are present. Thousands of muscle fibers constitute elastic tissues. Muscle strength depends on the presence of fibers. These muscles work together with the nerve fibers to do all voluntary and involuntary functions of the body. There are three types of muscles: skeletal muscles, striated muscles, and smooth muscles. Muscular dystrophy is the damage and weakening of the muscles. In this tutorial, we will learn about muscular dystrophy in depth. Dystrophy Meaning Dystrophy generally occurs due to malnutrition or diseases. Muscular dystrophy is the ... Read More

Introduction Proteins are very complex substances that are present in every living organism. Proteins have high nutritional values which play a direct role in the chemical process which is necessary for life. For example, muscles, for instance, contain about 30% protein, the liver 20 to 30%, and red blood cells 30%. Proteins are the most important element of the striated skeleton muscle. Hair, bone, organs, and tissues contain a higher percentage of protein. What are the Muscle Proteins? The movement of the human body is dependent on the skeletal muscles, that are connected to the bones. Proteins are the fundamental ... Read More
