Electroporation – Detailed Notes

Electroporation – Detailed Notes Definition : Electroporation is a physical method of gene transfer in which cells are exposed to a brief, high-voltage electric pulse, creating temporary pores in the cell membrane. This allows DNA, RNA, proteins, or other molecules to enter the cytoplasm. It is widely used in bacteria, yeast, plant protoplasts, and mammalian cells. Key Concept: The electric field destabilizes the membrane, making it permeable to macromolecules. 1. Principle Cells are suspended in a conductive medium. A brief electrical pulse induces transient pores in the plasma membrane. DNA or other molecules present in the medium enter the cell through these pores. Membrane reseals after the pulse, and the molecule is retained inside the cell. Advantages of Principle: Direct and rapid. Works in many cell types. Does not require chemical carriers or viral vectors. 2. Materials Required Cells – bacterial, yeast, plant protoplasts, mammalian cells. DNA/RNA/other macromolecule – purifie...

Protein Sequence DatabasesPIR, SWISS-PROT and TREMBEL

Protein Sequence Databases PIR, SWISS-PROT and TREMBEL 1. Introduction Protein sequence databases are biological databases that store information about amino acid sequences of proteins, along with their functional, structural, and biochemical characteristics. Since proteins are the functional molecules of the cell, protein databases are essential for understanding gene expression, metabolism, enzymatic activity, signaling pathways, and evolution. Protein sequence databases mainly contain data derived from translated nucleotide sequences and experimental protein studies. 2. Types of Protein Sequence Databases Protein sequence databases are broadly classified into: A. Primary Protein Databases Contain original protein sequence data Minimal or no manual annotation B. Secondary Protein Databases Derived from primary databases Provide curated functional and structural information C. Composite Protein Databases Combine protein data from multiple sources Reduce redundancy 3. Protein Informati...

Biological Databases – Types of Data and DatabasesNucleotide Sequence Databases (EMBL, GenBank, DDBJ)

Biological Databases – Types of Data and Databases Nucleotide Sequence Databases (EMBL, GenBank, DDBJ) 1. Introduction Biological databases are systematic, computerized collections of biological information that allow efficient storage, retrieval, updating, and analysis of large volumes of biological data. With the advent of genome sequencing, molecular biology, and bioinformatics, biological databases have become essential tools in biological research. These databases support studies in genomics, proteomics, evolutionary biology, taxonomy, medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. 2. Types of Data Stored in Biological Databases Biological databases store diverse types of biological information, including: 1. Sequence Data DNA sequences RNA sequences Protein sequences 2. Structural Data Three-dimensional structures of proteins Nucleic acid structures 3. Functional Data Gene functions Enzyme activity Regulatory elements 4. Genomic Annotation Data Gene location Exons, introns Promoters a...

••CLASSIFICATION OF ALGAE - FRITSCH

MODULE -1 PHYCOLOGY CLASSIFICATION OF ALGAE - FRITSCH ❖F.E. Fritsch (1935, 1945) in his book“The Structure and Reproduction of the Algae”proposed a system of classification of algae. He treated algae giving rank of division and divided it into 11 classes. His classification of algae is mainly based upon characters of pigments, flagella and reserve food material. Classification of Fritsch was based on the following criteria o Pigmentation. o Types of flagella o Assimilatory products o Thallus structure o Method of reproduction Fritsch divided algae into the following 11 classes 1. Chlorophyceae 2. Xanthophyceae 3. Chrysophyceae 4. Bacillariophyceae 5. Cryptophyceae 6. Dinophyceae 7. Chloromonadineae 8. Euglenineae 9. Phaeophyceae 10. Rhodophyceae 11. Myxophyce...
