Biological macromolecules chromosomes

Extensive research is currently underway to use biological markers (biomarkers) in exposure and risk assessment. Biomarkers include the reaction products of chemicals or their metabolic products with biological macromolecules, especially with DNA. They also involve indicators of effect, such as chromosomal damage, and indicators of individual genetic susceptibility. [Pg.325]

Proteins are the most abundant of cellular components. They include enzymes, antibodies, hormones, transport molecules, and even components for the cytoskeleton of the cell itself. Proteins are also informational macromolecules, the ultimate heirs of the genetic information encoded in the sequence of nucleotide bases within the chromosomes. Structurally and functionally, they are the most diverse and dynamic of molecules and play key roles in nearly every biological process. Proteins are complex macromolecules with exquisite specificity each is a specialized player in the orchestrated activity of the cell. Together they tear down... [Pg.49]
