Biochemistry Behind Genetic Engineering and CRISPR: Unlocking Nature’s Code.
••• INTRODUCTION ••• Biochemistry serves as the bridge between biology and chemistry, enabling scientists to unravel the molecular tapestry that defines life. At the heart of this exploration lie biochemical techniques, tools that allow researchers to dissect cells, isolate molecules, and understand how the fundamental building blocks of life behave, interact, and influence health and disease. The sophistication of these methods has revolutionized diagnostics, therapy, and drug development. I. Spectrophotometry: Measuring Molecular Absorbance Spectrophotometry is used to measure the concentration of substances based on light absorption. In clinical labs, this method detects abnormal levels of enzymes, bilirubin, and blood glucose. Inspirational Quote 1: "Clarity begins where measurement becomes possible." Use in treatment: Spectrophotometry helps monitor diabetic patients’ glucose levels, enabling precise insulin administration. II. Chromatography:...
