Joseph J Grenier MD PhD ALS Indices & Typologies: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis presents as an upper motor neuron UMN‚ mixed motor neuron MMN‚ or a lower motor neuron picture when patients first see their doctor about symptoms. Upper motor neuron signs are thought to be most common in human adults over the age of 50‚ with a peak incidence of 55 to 65 years of age. The UMN deficits are more prevalent as one goes up the primate phylogenetic scale with incidents higher in chimps‚ who share 95%

Convocation 2012 Response Paper Quam Onigbanjo As students poured inside of the auditorium‚ and the Morgan State alumni and faculty made their entrance‚ the first convocation of the 2012 school year began. The air was filled with peaceful music from the choir‚ as well as buzz of noise from the crowd. The aisles and staircases were packed with students trying to get seated near their friends. After most of the students were situated and the choir stopped singing‚ Dr. David Wilson began his introductory

toxic shock. This Toxic Shock Syndrome is due to Staphlyococcus aureus‚ characterized by “erythematous eruption and high fever”. An important cytokine molecule‚ TNF-alpha (tumor necrosis factor alpha)‚ is secreted amongst these cytokines and plays a vital role in the inflammatory response of the body. An over secretion of TNF-alpha may result “endothelial and vascular smooth muscle changes‚ which manifests as hypotension‚ shock‚ and features of sepsis.” An example of a bacterium that elicits a superantigen

Reaction Rates of Barley Alpha Amylase with Starch at Specific pH ’s and Temperatures Page 1 Abstract Enzyme ’s are used as catalysts in certain reactions. They help lower the activation energy needed for the reaction to go to completion. At optimum temperature and pH the amount of collisions of substrate and enzyme is at its highest‚ any deviation from the optimum temperature and pH will result in the denaturization of the enzyme. The purpose of this experiment is to find the optimum

reactions but they themselves are not consumed or altered when doing so. These catalysts work best at optimum temperatures and pH’s. The temperature and pH at which the reaction occurs the quickest is the ideal condition for the enzymatic reaction. Alpha amylase converts starch into glucose and when starch is combined with I2KI indicator a dark purple solution forms. As the enzyme breaks down the starch the absorbency will decrease. The absorbency is measured through the spectrophotometer which reads

Enzyme Specificity Using Beta-galactosidase and Alpha-galactosidase Introduction: In order to survive‚ organisms need reactions to occur at a certain time and place. Enzymes make these reactions happen. Enzymes are highly specific causing only one enzyme to catalyze one reaction. “Induced fit” explains why enzymes act this certain way. An enzyme will surround a certain substrate and form to it for the reaction to occur in the active site. If it doesn’t form to it‚ the reaction will not occur
