Lectins are glycoproteins of 60,000-100,000 MW that are known for their ability to agglutinate (clump) erythrocytes in vitro. There are over 400,000 estimated binding sites for kidney bean agglutinin on the surface of each erythrocytes. Lectins are found in most types of beans, including soybeans.
A DNA sequencer is a scientific instrument used to automate the DNA sequencing process.Given a sample of DNA, a DNA sequencer is used to determine the order of the four bases: G (guanine), C (cytosine), A (adenine) and T (thymine).This is then reported as a text string, called a read.NA sequencer manufacturers use a number of different methods to detect which DNA bases are present. The specific protocols applied in different sequencing platforms have an impact in the final data that is generated. Therefore, comparing data quality and cost across different technologies can be a daunting task.
The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), is the technique used to detect small amounts of DNA and make enough copies of it to be detectable.All cells, bacteria and viruses contain DNA that is unique to them.he prepared sample is then added to a PCR mixture containing small pieces of DNA (primers) which match the DNA we are testing for, building blocks of DNA, and a polymerase enzyme which can join the blocks together to make copies of DNA.
