Biochemical 1

Studied by AE Garrod. genes express themselves through synthesis of enzymes as per beadle and Tatum 1941. 

It is a set of methods assays and procedures that enable scientists to analyse substances found in living organisms and the chemical reactions underlying life processes.

Since genes synthesise proteins and enzymes biochemical analysis provides us hint about their features and characteristics. Blood analysis and urine analysis can help identify diseases like phenylketonuria.

Biomolecules include lipids and proteins vitamins hormones.

Biochemical analysis techniques

Separation. spectrophotometry. Chromatography, electrophoresis, centrifugation.

Analysis. Elisa test for AIDS, syphilis. radioimmunoassay  to analyse hormones. 

Today we use DNA sequencing using Maxam Gilbert method. SOLiD method. For better understanding.

with crispr cas 9 technique we can now accurately identify a sequence and edit it to get the desired result.
