Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
The central dogma of molecular biology is a fundamental principle that explains the flow of genetic information in living organisms. It states that genetic information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins, but not the reverse. This principle has been a fundamental concept in the field of molecular biology and has helped to understand many…

Translation
The molecular basis of translation is the process by which the genetic information stored in RNA is converted into a functional protein. This process occurs on ribosomes, which are large complexes of proteins and RNA molecules. The process of translation is divided into three main stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. In the initiation stage, a…

Endoplasmic Reticulum
The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is a vital organelle in eukaryotic cells, playing multiple crucial roles. From protein synthesis, folding, and modification to lipid metabolism and calcium storage, the ER ensures the cell’s proper functioning. The Rough ER, adorned with ribosomes, synthesizes proteins, while the Smooth ER is responsible for lipid synthesis and detoxification. Additionally, the…
