CHEM3412 Synthesis of a Porphyrin Porphyrins are hetereonuclear‚ macrocyclic compounds that play an important role in living organisms. Examples include the non-protein heme portion of hemoglobin in animals whereby the lone pairs on nitrogen can bind to the oxygen-carrying iron. In plants‚ chlorophyll uses the vast conjugation to allow absorption of light for photosynthesis. The characteristic colors of porphyrins is also due to the conjugation.

Lab 1: Synthesis of Aspirin Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate the ability to easily alter the molecular structure of a compound to greatly increase its utility. In this case‚ an acetyl group was added to salicylic acid‚ a naturally occurring compound with significant pharmaceutical value. Without the addition of the acetyl group‚ salicylic acid is an irritant to the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract. Once the acetyl group is added via a simple reaction‚ acetylsalicylic

Identifying sites of protein synthesis in Chlamydomonas using erythromycin and cyclohexamide as protein synthesis inhibitors. October 16‚ 2009 Introduction: In living cells‚ prokaryotic or eukaryotic‚ the synthesis (construction) of proteins is accomplished by similar machinery. Amino acids‚ ribosomes‚ messenger RNA (mRNA)‚ and transfer RNA (tRNA)‚ are all necessary for the building of functional proteins in a cell. Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis in a cell‚ and there are two

There has been a significant decline in mortality from breast cancer since the 1970s‚ this decline is linked with the fact that there is more availability of screening methods‚ mainly mammography‚ and there is a drastic improvement in the way advanced cancer is treated (Smith et al.‚ 2008). Dr. David Eddy‚ an early pioneer in evidence-based medicine conducted a study for the American Cancer Society (ACS) to develop recommendations for screening for cancer which was later reviewed by him and published

These 3 known and unified forces are the Strong Nuclear Force‚ the Weak Nuclear Force‚ and the Electro-Magnetic Force can be merged into a single force at the grand unification energy of 1016 GeV. However‚ this model of the universe is not complete since Gravity is still impossible to unify with the 3 other forces. In 1687‚ Isaac Newton postulated the first model explaining gravity between astronomical objects and showed how it’s was inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two
