Research And Development Flashcards
What is exploitable biology?
It is the study of biological traits with the purpose of deriving a common benefit.
How has the analysis of RNA subunits helped in the study of biodiversity?
It has divided batería into 36 groups
360 new species of Protozoa
Establish help genetic-evolutionary correlations.
Creation of genomic libraries within ecological communities.
Epulopiscium fishelsoni
Largest bacteria found. Thought to be a protozoan.
What traits does a biotechnologist seek?
Physiology
Behaviour
Function
Why are natural products important?
Main source of NCE
What is bioactivity?
The effect a drug has in the body.
What is pharmacodynamics?
It is the action of the drug in the body. Specificity, duration of effects, targets
What are pharmacokinetics?
It is the action of the body in the presence of the drug.
What is high through put screening?
Testing of large numbers of chemical structures against disease targets with the purpose of identifying hits.
What is the importance of high through put screening?
It is simple, of great rapidness, low in cost, and highly efficient analyzing compounds with interaction and harvest of information.
What is bioinformatics?
It is the interdisciplinary collection, storage, orginisation, and the systematic integration of data to create knowledge.
What are the sources of dababases?
DNA, RNA, Proteins, biotransformations, chemical diversity and metabolic routes.
