How does our body make insulin ?
( A brief overview of how our DNA, mRNA and Ribosome manufacture the 22,000 proteins we need every day for our daily activities.) What is mRNA ? Inside the human cell, each protein ( say insulin to enzymes and hormones) are printed by the 3D printer called Ribosome as per the code encrypted in theContinue reading “How does our body make insulin ?”

Remember the creator of Chess game asking the king only one grain per square but doubled each time.) In cycle 1the single strandedContinue reading “Cycle Threshold”
