  2. One gene–one enzyme hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_gene–one_enzyme...

    However, the proposed connection between a single gene and a single protein enzyme outlived the protein theory of gene structure. In a 1948 paper, Norman Horowitz named the concept the "one gene–one enzyme hypothesis". [2] Although influential, the one gene–one enzyme hypothesis was not unchallenged.

  3. Dioxygen in biological reactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dioxygen_in_biological...

    The reaction for the aerobic respiration is essentially the reverse of photosynthesis, except that now there is a large release of chemical energy which is stored in ATP molecules (up to 38 ATP molecules are formed from one molecule of glucose and 6 O 2 molecules). The simplified version of this reaction is: C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 → 6 CO 2 + 6 ...

  4. Reactive oxygen species - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_oxygen_species

    ROS-related oxidation of DNA is one of the main causes of mutations, which can produce several types of DNA damage, including non-bulky (8-oxoguanine and formamidopyrimidine) and bulky (cyclopurine and etheno adducts) base modifications, abasic sites, non-conventional single-strand breaks, protein-DNA adducts, and intra/interstrand DNA ...

  5. Singlet oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singlet_oxygen

    Another method uses a reaction of hydrogen peroxide with sodium hypochlorite in aqueous solution: [19] H 2 O 2 + NaOCl → O 2 (1 Δ g) + NaCl + H 2 O. A retro-Diels Alder reaction of the diphenylanthracene peroxide can also yield singlet oxygen, along with an diphenylanthracene: [22] Retro-Diels Alder formation of singlet oxygen

  6. Photosystem II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosystem_II

    Photosystem II (or water-plastoquinone oxidoreductase) is the first protein complex in the light-dependent reactions of oxygenic photosynthesis. It is located in the thylakoid membrane of plants , algae , and cyanobacteria .

  7. Operon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operon

    A typical operon. In genetics, an operon is a functioning unit of DNA containing a cluster of genes under the control of a single promoter. [1] The genes are transcribed together into an mRNA strand and either translated together in the cytoplasm, or undergo splicing to create monocistronic mRNAs that are translated separately, i.e. several strands of mRNA that each encode a single gene product.

  8. Protein production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_production

    Central dogma depicting transcription from DNA code to RNA code to the proteins in the second step covering the production of protein. Protein production is the biotechnological process of generating a specific protein. It is typically achieved by the manipulation of gene expression in an organism such that it expresses large amounts of a ...

  9. FNR regulon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FNR_regulon

    The FNR (defective in fumarate and nitrate reduction) protein of E. coli is an oxygen – responsive transcriptional regulator required for the switch from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism [1]. "Type III mutants, originally frdB , were designated fnr because they were defective in fumarate and nitrate reduction and impaired in their ability to ...
