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.

Do not get this confused with RNA, or ribonucleic acid, because RNA does not store all genetic information, but only the information necessary to create proteins. Because DNA is a much stable molecule than RNA. However, in many viruses genetic information is encoded in their RNA. Consequently, these viruses mutate at a very high r â¦ ate and change constantly to avoid onslaught from the host's immune system.
