The key difference between denaturation and renaturation of protein is that denaturation is the loss of native 3D structure of a protein while renaturation is the conversion of denatured protein into its native 3D structure. Proteins are one of the essential macromolecules present in living organisms. Important molecules such as enzymes, structural components and antibodies, […]

Difference Between Hall Effect and Quantum Hall Effect
The key difference between Hall effect and quantum Hall effect is that the Hall effect mainly occurs on semiconductors, whereas the quantum Hall effect takes place mainly in metals. Hall effect refers to the generation of an electric potential perpendicular to both an electric current flowing along a conducting material and an external magnetic field […]
Difference Between Klenow Fragment and DNA Polymerase 1
The key difference between Klenow fragment and DNA polymerase 1 is that Klenow fragment is a large portion of DNA polymerase 1 which lacks 5′ to 3′ exonuclease activity while DNA polymerase is an enzyme of E. coli which has all three domains including 5′ to 3′ exonuclease activity. DNA polymerase is one of the […]
Difference Between Isocyanate and Diisocyanate
The key difference between isocyanate and diisocyanate is that isocyanate is a functional group having a nitrogen atom, carbon atom and an oxygen atom bonded to each other respectively via double bonds whereas diisocyanate is a compound having two isocyanate anions or functional groups. Isocyanate and diisocyanate are similar to each other because a diisocyanate […]
Difference Between Anterograde and Retrograde Amnesia
The key difference between anterograde and retrograde amnesia is that anterograde amnesia refers to the inability to create new memories while retrograde amnesia refers to the inability to recall past memories. Amnesia is a form of memory loss caused by brain damage or diseases. It can also happen due to various sedatives and hypnotic drugs. […]
Difference Between L-phenylalanine and DL-phenylalanine
The key difference between L-phenylalanine and DL-phenylalanine is that L-phenylalanine is the L isomer of phenylalanine whereas DL-phenylalanine is the racemic mixture of D and L isomers phenylalanine. Phenylalanine is an essential alpha-amino acid. It has the chemical formula C9H11NO2. When considering the structure of phenylalanine molecule, it has a benzene ring (phenyl group) substituted […]
Difference Between Wall Teichoic Acid and Lipoteichoic Acid
The key difference between wall teichoic acid and lipoteichoic acid is that wall teichoic acids are covalently attached to peptidoglycan while lipoteichoic acids are anchored to the bacterial membrane via a glycolipid. Teichoic acids are cell wall glycopolymers found in Gram-positive bacteria. They contain phosphodiester-linked polyol repeat units. They are mainly fibres of glycerol phosphate or […]
Difference Between Acrylate and Methacrylate
The key difference between acrylate and methacrylate is that acrylates are the derivatives of acrylic acid, whereas methacrylates are the derivatives of methacrylic acid. The terms acrylate and methacrylate originate from the terms acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, respectively. That means, acrylates and methacrylates are derivatives of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid. CONTENTS 1. Overview […]
