What is Hybridoma Technology? Hybridoma technology is a groundbreaking scientific approach that has revolutionized immunology and medicine. Developed by César Milstein and Georges J.F. Köhler in the 1970s, this technique paved the way to produce monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). mAbs plays a significant role in diagnostics, therapeutics, and research. This blog […]

Chi Square Test: Definition, Chi Square Distribution, Types and Applications (Notes)
Chi-square test is a Statistical Hypothesis Testing tool (Test Statistic). The statistical hypothesis test tool is a method of statistical inference to decide the suitability of the data we have to support a particular hypothesis. The Chi-square test is written as χ2. The test is developed by Karl Pearson. In […]

Glycosaminoglycans: Structure, Examples and Functions (Biochemistry Lecture Notes)
What are Glycosaminoglycans? GAGS Glycosaminoglycans are the hetero-polysaccharides of Extra Cellular Matrix (ECM) of Cells. ECM is filled with a gel-like material and it is the ground substance which holds adjacent cells. ECM gives a porous pathway for nutrients and oxygen. Glycosaminoglycans are often denoted as GAGs. Glycosaminoglycans are unique […]

Monosaccharide Derivatives with Examples (Biochemistry Lecture Notes)
What are Sugar Derivatives? Organisms contain a variety of sugar derivatives. Sugar derivatives are modified monosaccharides. In sugar derivatives, the monosaccharide molecules that have been modified with substituents other than hydroxyl groups such as amino groups, acid groups, phosphate groups, acetate groups etc. Natural sugar derivatives have important biological functions. […]

Polysaccharides: Structure, Classification and Examples (Biochemistry Lecture Notes)
What are Polysaccharides? Carbohydrates with more than 20 monosaccharide units are called polysaccharides. Majority of carbohydrates in nature occurs as polysaccharides. Usually polysaccharides have hundreds or thousands of monosaccharide units. Monosaccharide units are joined by characteristic glycosidic bonds. In this post we will discuss the Structure, Classification and Examples of […]
