Fracking is a process which extracts natural gas efficiently, reducing our dependency on coal as an energy resource. However, the fluid used within the process is toxic and can contaminate air and water s...

Binding of the first molecule of oxygen changes the tertiary/quarternary structure of Haemoglobin - this can be referred to as a conformational shift. This change in structure then exposes another binding...

The product formed (hydroxybutanitrile) is optically inactive because the nitrile nucleophile can attack the propane at its carbonyl bond which is trigonal planar about it. There is an equal chance of it ...

The concentration is higher in the soil. The process of active transport is used to move molecules against the concentration gradient (from a low to a high concentration). Therefore the concentration of i...

PCR takes place in three stages - denaturation, annealing, and extension. The process begins with a very small quantity of DNA being loaded into a PCR machine. The hydrogen bonds that exist between the tw...
