Analysis of the nature of the specimen like the infectious agents (bacterium, virus, viriod, or prion) is very important to diagnose the diseases caused by them, investigate disease outbreak, to determine the clinical course of the infectious disease etc.

There are many methods like direct detection, cultivation assays, serological assays to detect the pathogen type.  

Molecular techniques like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is done to further analyze or investigate the pathogen, like its microbial genome, the virulence factor etc. These are amplification methods which help to investigate the pathogenesis and disease progression. PCR method involves denaturing the DNA polymerase which is a nuclease type of enzyme. Nucleases are present with exonucleases and endonucleases, both of which acts at specific points on the DNA of the pathogen and will create new templates .

What are the characteristics of most unsaturated fatty acids found within a human cell?.
kati45 [8]

The characteristics of most unsaturated fatty acids found within a human cell are deprotonated carboxylic acid and cis double bonds.

  • With the exception of steroids, fatty acids are carboxylic acids that provide the structural foundation of fats, oils, and all other types of lipids. More than 70 have been found in the natural world.
  • They are typically unbranched, contain an even number of carbon atoms (often 12–20), and can be divided into groups based on the existence and quantity of carbon–carbon double bonds.
  • As a result, saturated fatty acids don't have any carbon-to-carbon double bonds, while monounsaturated fatty acids have one, and polyunsaturated fatty acids have two or more.
