Oct 2012 LSM 1101 Biochemistry of Biomolecules Class 1a: Nucleic acids Our class on DNA is divided into 3 parts: (I) Genetics (II) DNA structure (III) Concepts and applications. I. Genetics: In the primordial period‚ simple molecules were formed from atoms and from these molecules‚ macromolecules were formed. These macromolecules formed life and all living organisms. The classical genetic and heredity observations in the 19th century started the search for the origin of life. The transforming

A2 Applied Science Unit 15: The Role of the Pathology Service Assignment Biochemistry Role of biochemistry department Biochemistry department are the foundation of modern healthcare. Without them‚ the diagnosis of disease‚ the evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment‚ and research into the causes and cures of disease would not be possible. In biochemistry department‚ the clinical scientist diagnose and manage diseases by analysing the bodily fluids such as blood and urine. In this area‚ biomedical

Biological chemistry 1B Experiment 1: Thin layer chromatography [TLC] Aim The aim of this experiment is to apply the technique of TLC to first separate out a mixture of coloured dyes and then to do the same for selected range of amino acids. Procedure 2 MMs of each different colour were collected into separate beakers. Approximately 5 drops of water is added to each of the beakers containing the MMs and the tablets were stirred until

1. Explain how carbon’s electron configuration and valence result in its ability to form large and complex organic molecules. These covalent bonds can be single‚ double‚ or triple bonds‚ but one carbon atom is limited to only 4 covalent bonds. It can bond with other carbon atoms and different atoms (H‚ O‚ N‚ P‚ S) to form long chains‚ ring shaped molecules‚ and branched/irregular shapes. 2. Explain why the combination hydrocarbon backbone +functional group(s) accounts for the unique functions

Basic Biochemistry Webquest (2013) Basic Chemistry Part 1: Why Do Atoms React? Google Search 1. What is an atom? An atom is the basic unit of a chemical element. 2. What is an element? An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom. 3. What makes an atom unstable (reactive)? The binding energy not being strong enough makes an atom unstable (reactive). 4. Why do atoms react with other atoms? Atoms react with other atoms to gain or lose electrons to fill their outer

I have studied a variety of subjects such as animal biology‚ genetics‚ comparative vertebrate anatomy‚ immunology‚ plant biology‚ biochemistry‚ and animal behavior. I have been challenged in new ways to think‚ when I fail I seek to find new approaches to solutions and remain persistent. Biochemistry was a very difficult course‚ with may cycles and chemical processes that are very precise and intricate. By repeated drawing of each step I was able to remember and

Title: Acids‚ Bases & Buffers Objectives: 1. To understand the acid-base chemistry. 2. To prepare and evaluate a buffer system 3. To measure the buffering capacity of two types of isotonic drinks. Introduction: There are acid-forming‚ basic forming and neutral food‚ however the acid or alkaline properties of a food is unable to judge by the actual acidity of the food itself. For example‚ citrus fruits such as lemon are acidic‚ but they are alkaline-forming when we consume and digest it. Therefore
