Stereochemistry an Introduction

Image
Stereochemistry an Introduction I'm made to realise that I'm not clear enough or good at something, I try to make myself clear with it. It happened , I am preparing for my exam during my preparation for Exam , The question was asked about Stereoisomer but, unfortunately, I was not very clear with the molecular reason behind it.(but, still I managed to answer the question as I know the theoretical information from my notes, but, knowing the molecular mechanism behind each concept clearly is very important, isn't it?). But, nothing is wrong in it, I made myself clear with it now. That's good, right? So, let me share with you some basic principle and an introduction with Streochemistry and how it affects molecular structure, Biochemistry and Metabolism so here we go Just like with any other field of science, chemistry is not two dimensional. To get an accurate chemical analysis, the three-dimensional spatial arrangements of the atoms (and ions) in the molec...

Tuberculosis & COVID-19 Pandemic

Tuberculosis & COVID-19 Pandemic Corona-viruses are a large family of viruses that usually cause mild to moderate upper-respiratory tract illnesses, like the common cold, in people. There are hundreds of corona-viruses, most of which circulate among animals including pigs, camels, bats, and cats. Sometimes those viruses jump to humans—called a spillover event—and can cause disease. After a Pandemic outbreak from china, The disease is now called COVID-19 .  The virus has caused a widespread outbreak of disease similar to SARS throughout China, with exported cases occurring in 183 other countries, including India.  Ultrastructure of  COVID-19 But, you need not suffer from this evil COVID-19, else we can say, you will not get affected with COVID-19 at all if you had vaccinated with Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) (Vaccine for Tuberculosis) Yes! Sam Behar, and his colleague at the Department of Microbiology, University of Massachusetts...

And now, got time to share with you. me trying to keep me busy with books for Competitive exams like ICAR-AGRIL, JNU like university for  M.Tech (Biotechnology) This is time for valentine search ! For the valentine's day, we youngster's use to celebrate this day like a festival Many ppl around us  celebrate Valentine's Day by showing appreciation for the people they love or adore. Some people take their loved ones for a romantic dinner at a restaurant or Give chocolate ; Most all of us love the taste of chocolate, you may find lucky if u got such gift on such special occasion ;  but for some it means someone may get hurt! no need to get hurt we can buy and enjoy from any shop (like me do always) Chocolate is a traditional Valentine's Day gift, in ...

HITLER AND BIOTECHNOLOGY

HITLER AND BIOTECHNOLOG Y- Ultimate killing machine  Nazi scientists secretly researched the possibility of dropping malaria-infected mosquitoes behind enemy lines during World War Two, a German academic has claimed Hitler’s scientists planned to use malaria-infected mosquitoes as biological weapons by sending them behind enemy lines in the Second World War, according to research. SS leader Heinrich Himmler ordered secret research into how insects infected with the disease could be kept alive long enough to be used against the allies, German academic Dr Klaus Reinhardt has claimed. In January 1942, the SS chief created a special laboratory at Dachau concentration camp with the official aim of finding new remedies against diseases transmitted by lice and other insects, as well as the typhoid that plagued German troops. But in the journal Endeavour, Reinhardt said records kept by Dachau Entomological Institute revealed its scientists also pursued research into biologic...

MEMORIES

Since childhood I am passionate about natural science. I grew up in a village surrounded by forests with many different animals and plants where my parents were the accomplices of my discoveries, transmitting their passion for observing and understanding nature. When it came time to decide on my academic orientation, I did not hesitate at any time to specialize me in the field of Biotechnology. Biotechnology is, as a traditional definition, “the technique that allows the application of biology to make a profit”. Actually, all applied biology can be defined as Biotechnology, placing its origin in the technique of making beer in ancient Mesopotamia. The new vaccines, treatments or stem cell gene therapy, are Biotechnology. Transgenic crops or production of insulin for diabetics, are Biotechnology. Currently, the development of new biotechnology, thanks to genetic engineering, is so great that it has come to be called “the science of the future”. Traditionally, Biotechnology is ...
