Photoreactivation : Method of DNA Repair for the Recovery of UV Induced DNA Damages by Phytolyase Enzyme and Visible Light
Science is beautiful when it makes simple explanations of phenomena or connections between different observations. Stephen W. Hawking, 2011 What is Photoreactivation? Photoreactivation is a type of DNA repair mechanism present in prokaryotes, archaea and in many eukaryotes. It is the recovery of ultraviolet irradiated damages of DNA by visible […]

Difference Between Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes: Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes are the two fundamental or basic classes of cells. They are mainly distinguished by their size and internal structures. The existence of two classes of cells without any intermediate type represents one of the most fundamental evolutionary separations in the living world. […]

Nature is a machine. The family is a machine. The life cycle is like a machine. Ray Dalio What is life cycle? The growth and development consists of a number of distinct morphological and cytological stages. The sequence of these orderly changes is called as LIFE CYCLE. It is the […]

“The life of the planet began the long, slow process of modulating and regulating the physical conditions of the planet. The oxygen in today’s atmosphere is almost entirely the result of photosynthetic living, which had its start with the appearance of blue-green algae among the microorganisms” Lewis Thomas, 1984 What […]
