Manipulating molecules Biot-111 Lecture 4
Types of molecules • Nucleic Acids • Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) • Chromosomal DNA • Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA, or less popularly, mDNA) • Chloroplast DNA • Ribonucleic acid (RNA) • Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) • Messenger RNA (mRNA) • Transfer RNA (tRNA) • Complementary DNA (cDNA) RNA-DNA Hybrid
Proteins • Structural proteins • E.g. Membrane proteins • Functional proteins • E.g. Enzymes • Helicases • Transferases • Proteases • Nucleases • Kinases • Phosphatases etc.
Manipulating Nucleic Acids / cloning • Isolation and Purification of Nucleic Acid • Restriction analysis • Selection of suitable vector • Recombination • Insertion into a suitable host • Screening and selection of recombinants
