MOLECULAR ARTICLES

Among the many challenges that have swept across the planet earth today is that of the discovery of drugs that will help to fight the many diseases that exist and others still to come. In this endeavor herbs are proving worth facing the challenge. This can be attributed to modern research that has found out that plants contain bio-active (biologically active) compounds that play various roles when introduced into the body system. These bio-active compounds are called phytochemicals. Phytochemicals are different from vitamins and minerals in that they have no known nutritional value.

Nucleic acids play a vital role in living organisms. Apart from from being the carriers of genetic material for the organism, they also are important in numerous metabolic activities of the system. For this reason understanding their degradation becomes a mile stone in the understanding of the various metabolic reactions of living systems. The following article gives a brief summary of the degradation of nucleic acids. The complete process is important and must be understood by molecular students, especially students of biochemistry. However, this article gives a brief insight into the whole process so as to give a starting ground for the complex material.

Nucleic acids are among the most important bio-molecules that perform very many functions in the processes of living organisms. The many functions include; energy transfer, intracellular signalling, oxidation-reduction reactions and many more. This particular article will provide an in-depth understanding of nucleic acids and their various functions. As a molecular student, you will want to have this knowledge.

The cell membrane is one of the most important features of living cells. Its functions that are determined by its complex design are simply important. This lecture presented by a student at Bugema University is designed to explain in minute detail the molecular architecture of the cell membrane. Every aspect necessary for a molecular student is presented in a simple and easy to understand way.

This presentation is one you wont want to ignore. Presented as a power point presentation by molecular students at Bugema University, it presents in clear light the molecular aspects of the cell nucleus. In the first section it elaborates each sub-nuclear component and then discusses DNA and RNA in much detail. You will not want to to miss this step by step explanation of the building blocks of life.
