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.
Transcription is the name given to the process where the information in a gene in a DNA strand is transferred to an RNA molecule. The coding strand and the template strand of DNA. The important thing to realise is that the genetic information is carried on only one of the two strands of the DNA.essenger RNA contains the information to make just one single polypeptide chain-in other words for just one protein, or even just a part of a protein if it is made up of more than one polypeptide chain. Overall structure. DNA has two strands arranged in a double helix.
