Simple
PROTEIN HYDROLYSIS AMINO ACIDS & OCCASSIONAL CARBOHYDRATE COMPOUNDS
Conjugated
COMPLEX PROTEIN PROTEIN + NON-PROTEIN
Derived
PHYSICAL
SIMPLE/CONJUGATED PROTEIN or DERIVED PROTEIN
CHEMICAL
Fibrous
forms muscle fibers, tendons, connective tissues, bone
Globular
more soluble than other classes; transports, catalyzes,
regulates
Membrane
relays signals within cells; transports and allows
interactions
DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID (DNA)
5-carbon deoxyribose
nucleus of the cell
adenine & thymidine; guanine & cytosine
2. Primer Annealing
cooling of mixture at medium temperature (54⁰C) to allow binding of primers
to complementary single stranded DNA template.
3. Extension
heating @ 72⁰C for the attachment of DNA polymerase and start copying the
double stranded DNA molecule
Reverse Transcription PCR (RT-PCR)
most sensitive technique for mRNA detection and quantitation
use of reverse transcriptase to form complementary DNA from the
desired RNA template
In Situ Hybridization
detects minute quantities of rare or single-copy number nucleic
acid sequences in frozen or paraffin-embedded cells or tissue sections
