Biomarker is a term used to describe a biochemical substances whose presence and structure serves as a signature of life, for example a measureable DNA/RNA or protein is such an indicator (diagnostic and prognostic) of normal biological process. Read more..

Bioreactor is a term used as an apparatus which is used to carry out any kind of bioprocess such as fermenters and enzyme reactors. Read more..

A bioreceptor is a biological molecular species (e.g., an antibody, an enzyme, a protein, or a nucleic (acid) or a living biological system (e.g., cells, tissue, or whole organisms) that utilizes a biochemical mechanism for recognition. Read more..

Biosilk is a term used to describe a biomimetic, synthetic fibre manufactured by sequencing protein (dragline silk) produced by the orb-weaving spider Nephila Clavipes. The protein produced by this spider is called dragline silk and consists mainly of alanine and glycine. Read more..

Chromosomes is a term used on a package of several distinct strands of DNA often found in the genome. Each of these chromatin packages is called a chromosome.

The genome is a term used on the entire complement of genetic information; all the DNA in a cell (some organisms encode their genome in RNA).

Green Chemistry Green chemistry in an emerging field of science that develops chemicals to be benign. Rather than presuming to keep human and ecological exposures to chemicals within levels of toxicity deemed “acceptable,”,  sustainable chemistry aim to make chemicals that are inherently safe. Green chemistry  designs after a set of principles that include: Design chemical [...]

A biological molecular machine that consumes energy in one form and converts it into motion or mechanical work; for example, many protein-based molecular motors harness the chemical free energy released by the hydrolysis of ATP in order to perform mechanical work. Read more.
