10. Gel only slightly higher percentage of Agarose would probably not affect the results significantly. However, if the percentage were greatly increased, the larger fragments may not be able to move through the decreased pore size making it difficult, resulting in less effective electrophoretic separation.…
The stacking gel was used to make sure all the proteins start separating at about the same time. It has a larger pore size so that the larger protein can move in easily. The SDS and heating was used to denature the proteins, the proteins then loaded into the lane. When apply the electrical field, the proteins will move toward the bottom, which is the positive anode. Also, the Tris-glycine will enter the stacking gel. The pH of stacking gel is 6.8, it makes the proteins less negative because the amino acids are protonated at equilibrium. Because the glycine moves slower than chloride ion, a Gly-chloride ion boundary is formed. But, glycine still runs little bit faster than other proteins. Therefore, the proteins are trapped between chloride ion and glycine. A very tight band is formed inside the stacking gel by the…
1. The results of the 120 seconds with the non-pop beads added to the mix didn’t hinder the enzyme’s construction rate at all except for the first trial. In the first trial 28 chainobeads were constructed, in the second trial 30 chainobeads were constructed, and in the final trial 35 chainobeads were constructed. The results may have varied since our enzyme became very good at handling and constructing the chainobeads.…
The graph was about turbidity reading at different temperatures at 340nm. The curve of egg white in the graph increased dramatically at first. At 80℃, the curve got a peak at 0.251. The peak was where the protein was fully denatured. Then, the curve dropped quickly. With the raising of the temperature, protein in the solution got denatured. When the temperature increased from 60℃ to 80℃, the structure of protein got unfold. When the solution was heated, the H-bond was broken. The hydrophobic parts of protein were inside the protein surrounded by hydrophilic parts before unfolding. With the temperature increasing, the hydrophobic parts were exposed. The hydrophobic parts of proteins interacted. The reason why the turbidity reading got bigger is that protein unfold and the unfold proteins got coagulation. The coagulation caused the turbidity of solution increasing. The melting temperature of the native egg white sample was at the half of denaturation. It is about 71℃. The curve dropped because coagulation floated to the surface of solution. The curve of succinylated egg white did not change much. The –NH3+ of protein in egg white was replaced by COO- at pH8, so the protein was negative charged. The fastest coagulation of protein is at pI (isoelectric point). Because the pH of solution was at pI, the whole process is slow.…
All these factors can disrupt the weak bonds that hold the enzyme in its active conformation.…
What happened when the enzyme was denatured or altered by heat? Did it work the same? Was glucose present?…
A change took place in the final proteins because Isoleucine was added towards the end therefore it couldn’t synthesize the Methionine because of the defect (Audesirk & Byers, 2008).…

In these labs, my partner and I had to understand, and make note of, the types of reactions that occurred in each test tube. These reactions would be brought on by enzymes that would interact with other substances. [Part A] In this lab, we hypothesized that the tubes that contained a pancreatic solution would dissolve the starch, while the other test tubes wouldn’t. This is because the pancreatic solution contains enzymes which complete the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids (Digestion BioKit). Although test tube three contained this solution, we predicted that there wouldn’t be a reaction due to the fact that it was being boiled. The number, type, and arrangement of the amino acids determine the shape of the protein which directly controls the protein's function. The shape and function of a protein can be altered by a process known as denaturing. Too high a temperature or change of pH can cause the denaturing to take place. If this happens, then the protein can be rendered useless, unable to perform its normal job. In this…
This experiment aimed to study the effect of various denaturants on albumin and casein protein extracts through viscosity measurements. 5 mL samples of native and denatured protein solutions were prepared, using -mercaptoethanol, urea and SDS as denaturants for albumin, and NaOH, NaCL, HCL, -mercaptoethanol, urea and SDS for casein. 5 mL blank solutions for each denaturant used were also prepared. The viscosity of the solutions were determined using Ostwald viscometer.…
Many reagents were used in this experiment. For the stacking gel and resolving gel, the APS and TEMED were added at the end because they polymerize the gel immediately. Ammonium Persulfate (APS) is an oxidizing substance that is used along TEMED to catalyze the polymerization of acrylamide. It instructs polymerization. TEMED hurries the formation rate of the free radicals from persulfate and these in turn catalyze polymerization. The persulfate free radicals switch acrylamide monomers to free radicals, which react with incapacitated monomers to arise the polymerization chain reaction. Both APS and TEMED are used to make the reaction faster.…
Rather, it is likely to be the result of a range of chemical interaction that are enabled by and developed on physical agitation of the curd. Renault et al. (1997) found that syneresis could be influenced by changes in the protein conformation, essentially due to hydrophobic bounding. Many authors (Pearse et al. 1985; Stoll 1966; Walstra et al. 1985) indicated that whey protein denaturation syneresis rate can influence syneresis rate. Denatured whey protein rate is increased with increasing heat treatment temperature. The observed differences in syneresis can be related to the differences in curds structure that were demonstrated by SEM (Fig. 3). Syneresis rate and the kinetic rate constant k of curds were higher for the gels having larger pores, which can be inferred by the syneresis changes (Table 2 ) and microstructure changes (Fig. 3B) of rennet curds made from different pH and temperature. Similar results had been reported by Pierre-Anton et al. (2003). The results also showed that lower pH acid curds had larger pores and denser…

The substrate I am going to use during the experiments is the protein gelatin, which is a translucent, colourless, brittle solid substance found in the collagen inside an animals’ connective tissues. In my experiments it is going to be in the form of a single, thin layer, used on the surface of photographic film. It is useful in photography because it acts as protein glue, sticking the silver halide crystals to the surface of the plastic film. I am using it in this form, as it is easy to see when the enzyme has digested the gelatin. This is because normally the surface of the gelatine-silver halide layer turns black when exposed to light. However, when the enzyme has removed the gelatin the black colouring will disappear and only the clear plastic will be visible. Therefore, it can be easily identified when the reaction between the enzyme and the gelatin is complete, so this form of gelatin is very appropriate.…
