The mRNAs found in prokaryotes differ from that of eukaryotes in the following ways: (i) The prokaryotic mRNAs are broken down by the ribonuclease into ribonucleotide, hence these are very short lived e.g. 2 minutes in E.coli. The short lived nature is due to changes in environmental conditions. In contrast the eukaryotic mRNAs have longer […]

There are many types of RNAs, but three types of it are described here: 1. Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) 2. Messenger RNA (mRNA) 3. Transfer RNA (tRNA). Type # 1. The Ribosomal RNA (rRNA): The non-genetic RNAs are synthesized on the DNA template and are present in the nucleolus and cytoplasm. Therefore, the base sequences of […]
Chargaff-Equivalence Rule for DNA | Biochemistry
Article Shared by
In this article we will discuss about the Chargaff-equivalence rule for DNA. By 1948, a chemist Erwin Chargaff started using paper chromatography to analyse the base composition of DNA from a number of studies. In 1950, Chargaff discovered that in the DNA of different types of organisms the total amount of purines is equal to […]
