Macromolecules
- Life science
- Molecular biology
Macromolecules play key roles in the structure and function of cells. Understanding macromolecules helps us learn how organisms grow, develop, and maintain their systems. Beyond the body, they are used in medical treatments, nutrition and biotechnology. Use this resource to learn about the types of macromolecules. Macromolecules are large, complex...
Protein synthesis
- Life science
- Molecular biology
The central dogma of molecular biology describes the flow of genetic material within a biological system. This process is fundamental to understanding how proteins are made using genetic instructions in DNA. Understanding protein synthesis is key to developing therapies in medicine, enhancing crop yields in agriculture and creating new biotechnologies....
Structure and function of enzymes
- Life science
- Molecular biology
Enzymes are special proteins that are critical in many chemical reactions that occur in living organisms. Knowing how enzymes work is necessary for understanding how metabolic processes are controlled and maintained within cells. This has broader applications in agriculture, medicine and even in textiles. Use this resource to learn about...
