While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions (Figure 1). In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive ...

Isomerase has formed a strategic partnership with BugBiome, which is focused on the discovery of novel targeted ...

Prokaryotic cell DNA is a single molecule, found free in the cytoplasm; additional DNA is found on one or more rings called plasmids.

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...
