Diverse Types of Rna
DNA is often referred to as the “Blueprints of Life”. If we expand on this analogy, it would be quite reasonable to say that RNA is the construction crew. Just like the construction crew for a house would be varied,…

In the simplest sense, homoeopathic remedies are unscientific because there is no evidence from well designed, controlled clinical trials that homoeopathic remedies perform better than placebo. They cannot thus be regarded as evidence-based treatments. Moreover, homoeopathic remedies are unscientific because…

Enzymes are organic catalysts which are protein in nature. They are found in all living things and produced in all living cells. As catalysts, they speed up or reduce the rate of chemical reactions in the body without being used…
