Polypeptides‚ better known as proteins‚ carry out nearly all of a cell’s functions. A protein is made up of at least one or more amino acid polymers. The necessity of proteins for life is unequivocal‚ not only do they help to form the structures of cells but they act as enzymes in reactions of the body1. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower the amount of activation energy needed in carrying out biochemical reactions1. Enzymes are responsible for almost every reaction that occurs in a cell

In fermentation the pyruvate is converted into ethyl alcohol‚ through the oxidation of the 2 NADH molecules‚ which returns them to two NAD+’s (Freeman‚ 2011). Oxidation is the loss of an electron in this case H+. We used information from previous labs in which we tested

Hugh Kim Lab Report: Stoichiometry Lab 1. Prelab Part1. 1) Create no waste = The principle that encourages chemists to not create waste at the first place rather than cleaning it up afterwards effectively shifts the chemistry more environmentally conscious‚ as creating no waste would make the experiment efficient; the reactants will be reduced to only the essential ones and the product will be maximized‚ a change that would make the experiment economic. Also‚ if chemists aim to

Introduction In life‚ we have heard the phrase “only the strongest will survive”‚ and undoubtedly‚ think of the strength of a lion or the ferociousness of a bear‚ but this is not always the case to being a dominant species in a community. In this lab‚ we will explore the theory of natural selection‚ or as Charles Darwin put it‚ “Survival of the fittest” (King et al‚ 1-14). Through this concept‚ we will come to the understanding that being the fittest is not about being the strongest or most cunning

I. Introduction: The purpose of this lab report is to differentiate between of Newton’s Third Law and Newton’s Second Law. Newton’s Third Law states that all forces come in pairs and that the two forces in a pair act on different objects and are equal in strength and opposite in direction. Newton’s Second Law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object being accelerated. Using calculation equations for acceleration

A. Goal and Purpose: Session 1: In this lab‚ we will achieve a simple Friedel-Crafts alkylation of anthracene. The choice of anthracene as an aromatic substrate stems from two considerations. First‚ there is a question of regioselectivity. Second‚ anthracene and its derivatives are highly visible under UV light. Session 2: In this lab‚ we will complete a partial conversion of 9-acetylanthracene using m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA). We will also determine by NMR‚ the regiochemistry of the

Biophysical Ecology Abstract: There are many patterns that can be observed throughout our environment. In this experiment‚ the temperatures of organisms in a biophysical environment were analyzed to see if a pattern could be recognized that was related to the behavior of an ectotherm. An ectotherm is an organism that relies on the environment to regulate its body temperature. Organisms such as Pseudemys (turtles) and Lacertilia (lizards) are examples or ectotherms. After arriving at Maxcy Gregg

encoded by EZH2‚ the EZH2 gene encodes part of the Polycomb group which make protein complexes that help to maintain genes transcriptional repressive state over successive cell generations. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/2146 Throughout this lab report template DNA that contains the gene EZH2 was provided‚ this will be amplified by a PCR and cloned into a vector. This Polycomb group proteins help maintain the cell identity during progress through chromatin
