This interactive will present the mathematical consideration of exponentially
enriching a piece of DNA using PCR. Typically, a PCR protocol will repeat
approximately 30 cycles of denaturation, annealing, and elongation. 30 cycles of
PCR produce around 1 billion copies of the amplified region.

This interactive will present the varying applications of the laboratory technique Polymerase Chain Reaction, also known as PCR.

This scrollable interactive shows how an abstract of a research article is a
shortened version of the study.

The CRISPR-Cas9 editing tool causes a double-stranded break in target DNA that immediately triggers cellular DNA repair mechanisms to fix this dangerous situation. These repair mechanisms can be taken advantage of by scientists to disrupt or precisely change genes.

This scrollable introduces CRISPR's native role as a bacterial defense system. The gene editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 derives from it.

This scrollable interactive explores the regulation of the araBAD operon, a set of co-regulated genes that metabolize arabinose in E. coli.

This scrollable introduces the idea of a set of co-regulated genes in prokaryotes, called an operon, using the canonical lac operon as an example.

This scrollable interactive explores the regulation of the trp operon in E. coli, a
set of co-regulated genes that govern synthesis of the amino acid tryptophan.

This scrollable explains why there are so many inactive ingredients in drug tablets. Not only does the medicine need to be released in a way that is effective, but customer preferences, shelf life and storage considerations must also be taken into account. Exploring the mechanisms of how tablets interact with the body helps explain the important roles of each type of ingredient.

Este interactivo desplegable demuestra el modo en que las enzimas de
restricción (también denominadas endonucleasas) funcionan y el motivo por el
cual se pueden utilizar como herramientas para analizar el ADN y crear
plásmidos recombinantes.

This scrollable interactive takes users on a tour of the DNA double helix, explaining how nucleotide base pairing leads to DNA's unique shape.

This interactive image explores how changing the temperature of the environment impacts the biological activity of a restriction enzyme.

This interactive image allows the user to control the environmental temperature
and observe its impact on the strength of the hydrogen bonds between
complementary strands in a DNA molecule.

This interactive image allows the user to control the environmental temperature and observe its impact on the folding of albumin proteins in egg whites.

In this interactive image, you will control the pH of the environment to see how it impacts the biological activity of a restriction enzyme.

Different mutations have different effects on the gene product, the protein. This scrollable explores the various types of genetic mutations CRISPR-Cas9 editing can induce in target DNA and their effects on the protein.

Este interactivo desplegable muestra cómo la ADN ligasa se puede usar en biotecnología para crear plásmidos recombinantes al conectar fragmentos de ADN.

Este interactivo desplegable proporciona una descripción general de la
replicación del ADN y las enzimas clave involucradas y destaca el papel de la
ADN ligasa.

Este interactivo desplegable explora las diferentes funciones que las proteínas pueden desempeñar en la célula. Las categorías de proteínas cubiertas incluyen las proteínas transmembranales, las proteínas que conforman las máquinas moleculares como los cilios y los ribosomas y las enzimas. También se analizan los cuatro niveles de la estructura de las proteínas.
