The ability to research DNA and RNA in the last century gave a boost to biomedical engineering and pharmaceutical drugs. When it was found that DNA and RNA are a major part of the human body’s actions and reactions, it set off a chain of theories and research.
Macromolecular docking describes the way in which two very large molecules approach and interact with each other—in effect joining themselves—at least temporarily. Of prime importance in this maneuver is so-called “quaternary structure.” When the molecules are proteins, it is called protein docking.
Genomics may sound familiar, as if it were a novel or a movie. What is it exactly? Genomics is the study of genes, what constitutes them, its structures, how it is related to DNA, and whether or not it can be manipulated, thereby creating a new gene or modifying it to behave in a particular manner.
Mechatronics is the scientific word for the reverse engineering and/or copying of biological functions of an organism used in various appliances that today dot the landscape of living human beings.
