The name nucleic acids comes from their initial isolation from the nucleic of living cells. However, certain nucleic...

Escherichia coli as Experimental Model    Because of their comparative simplicity, prokaryotic cells(bacteria) are ideal models for studying many fundamental aspects of biochemistry and molecular biology. The most thoroughly studied species of bacteria is E. coli, which is the most favoured organism for investigation of the underlying mechanisms of molecular genetics. Most of...
