BLUNT END RESTRICTION ENZYMES AND VECTOR DIGESTION
In molecular biology, a vector is a DNA molecule that carries a specific gene of interest. In this case, the vector carries a blunt end restriction enzyme releasing a β-galactosidase gene and a phosphatase gene. Restriction enzymes are nucleases that…
SCALAR AND VECTOR QUANTITIES IN SIMPLE TERMS
Scalar and vector quantities are two fundamental concepts in physics that describe the properties of physical quantities. The main difference between scalar and vector quantities lies in their mathematical representation and the physical properties they describe. 1) Scalar Quantities: A…
OVERVIEW OF CLONING VECTORS, PROMOTERS AND EXPRESSION VECTOR
a) Cloning Vectors Cloning vectors are DNA molecules used to “carry” foreign DNA into a host organism, where it can be replicated and manipulated. There are several types of cloning vectors, each with its own unique features and applications. The…
