For a long time, plant lectin research concentrated on (i) the isolation and characterization of new carbohydrate binding proteins with interesting sugar binding and biological activities and (ii) the elucidation of the physiological role of different types of lectins from different species/taxa.
genetic code, the information carried by DNA that determines the specific amino acids and their sequence in each protein synthesized by an organism. The code consists of the sequence of nucleotides in the DNA molecule of each chromosome in the nucleus of every cell.
structure and function of genes g enetic information is stored in dna and the expression of this information requires several steps that flow in one direction genes are segments of dna encoding information that ultimately direct the production of rna molecules that serve a variety of functions that includetructure of dna the molecular structure of dna forms a double helix with a backbone of each strand of the helix consisting of a repeating sugar phosphate sugar phosphate polymer the sugar is deoxyribose
