Friedrich Miescher isolated nuclein from white blood cell nuclei in 1868, which showed acidic properties and was renamed nucleic acid. Nucleic acids are present in all living cells and viruses, containing the genetic blueprint and instructions for growth, development, and reproduction. There are two main types: DNA containing deoxyribose and the bases A, G, T, C; and RNA containing ribose and the bases A, G, U, C. Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides containing a phosphate group, sugar, and nitrogenous base. DNA has a double-stranded structure with bases pairing via hydrogen bonds, while RNA is single-stranded.
DNA and RNA molecules are linear polymers built from individual units called nucleotides connected by bonds called phosphodiester linkages. DNA and RNA are used to store and pass genetic information from one generation to the next.

Application of DNA
Nucleic acids are biopolymers, or small biomolecules, essential to all known forms of life. They are composed of nucleotides, which are monomers made of three components: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. If the sugar is a compound ribose, the polymer is RNA (ribonucleic acid); if the sugar is derived from ribose as deoxyribose, the polymer is DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid).

The word cell is derived from the Latin word “cellula” which means “a little room”
It was the British botanist Robert Hooke who, in 1664, while examining a slice of bottle cork under a microscope, found its structure resembling the box-like living quarters of the monks in a monastery, and coined the word “cells”
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY TECHNIQUES USED IN ZOONOTIC DISEASE Nataraju S M
Zoonotic pathogens cause diseases and death both in human & animals which ultimately leads to man power and economic loss of the country. Traditional diagnostic methods identify a pathogen based on its phenotype.
The correct assessment of a clinical isolate takes more time. Faster and simpler methods of diagnosis is of great advantage. That is why molecular biology technique is the first and foremost choice .

Nucleic acids
Get their name because they were first found in the nucleus of cells, but they have since been discovered also to exist outside the nucleus (cytoplasm).
Are the molecules within a cell that are responsible for ability to produce exact replicas of themselves. It is called ‘molecules of heredity’.
Are the principle genetic materials of all living organisms.
It contains C, H, O, N (10%) and P (15%).
Are condensation polymers of nucleotides.
Are the polynucleotides having high molecular weight.
It is a polymer in which the monomer units are nucleotides.
Nucleotides: Phosphoric acid esters of nucleosides.
Nucleotides = nucleoside + phosphate
Nucleotides are carbon ring structures containing nitrogen linked to a 5-carbon sugar.
5-carbon sugar is either a ribose or a deoxy-ribose making the nucleotide either a ribonucleotide or a deoxyribonucleotide.
Nucleosides are compounds in which nitrogenous bases (purines and pyrimidines) are conjugated to the pentose sugars (ribose or deoxyribose) by a β-glycosidic linkage.
Ribose (RNA) is a sugar, like glucose, but with only five carbon atoms in its molecule.
Deoxyribose (DNA) is almost the same but lacks one oxygen atom.
In both types of nucleotides the pentoses exist in their ß-furanose (closed five-membered ring) forms.
Both molecules may be represented by the symbol:
Despite the complexity and diversity of life the structure of DNA is dependent on only 4 different nucleotides.
Diversity is dependent on the nucleotide sequence.
All nucleotides are 2 ring structures composed of:
Despite the complexity and diversity of life the structure of DNA is dependent on only 4 different nucleotides.
Diversity is dependent on the nucleotide sequence.
All nucleotides are 2 ring structures composed of:
A nucleoside consists of a nitrogen base linked by a glycosidic bond to C1’ of a ribose or deoxyribose.
Nucleosides are named by changing the nitrogen base ending to -osine for purines and –idine for pyrimidines
A nucleotide is a nucleoside that forms a phosphate ester with the C5’ OH group of ribose or deoxyribose
Nucleotides are named using the name of the nucleoside followed by 5’-monophosphate

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
