DNA normally exists in the cell as a double-stranded structure, comprising of two complementary strands that are held together by hydrogen bonds. DNA replication involves two main steps. Firstly, the enzyme ...

There are 4 main structural levels of proteins which allow them to be the most diverse molecules in the cell. First is the primary structure which is the sequence of amino acids found in the protein. Amino a...
