from blood it recollects the fibrinogen which in turn helps in clotting however serum is the portion of blood which remains after the fibrinogen is removed. Serum contains approximately 6-8% of the proteins which make up blood however plasma creates up to 55% of blood. Serum contains different proteins which include albumin and globulins however plasma contains clotting factors‚ water and serum. In order for us to see the difference between plasma and serum we have to analyse the blood. If after removal

Jordan Wong Schiefer Acc Bio Block 6 11/15/12 Unit 4 Biochemistry relates to all things living because biochemistry makes up everything living. The atoms that make up the cells within our body are a part of biochemistry. There is carbon in every living thing and carbon based molecules are a part of biochemistry. Unit 4 describes the biochemistry in all living things. It explains the atomic structure and ions‚ properties of water and pH‚ organic molecules‚ chemical reactions and enzymes.

Introduction to Biochemistry Biochemistry : a multidisciplinary science that explores the chemistry of living organisms and molecular basis for changes occurring in living cells. Principal areas of Biochemistry 1. Struture and Function of Biomolecules Based on structure depend the function (structure function relationship) Example: Hemoglobin S differs from regular adult hemoglobin (hemoglobin A) by just one single amino acid. A valine replaces a glutamine in the 6th position of the beta

Protein SCI/241 Protein A protein are organic compounds that made up of amino acids and are the building blocks of the cells in the body. Every cell in the body requires proteins to grow and repair themselves so these proteins are necessary for a healthy body and survival. Having so much protein can hurt your body so when you consume so much can get you sick and the right size of protein can keep you from getting sick. They’re five types of protein in everything that we eat. The largest class

Enumeration of Bacterial Contamination in Hamburger Meat from Unknown Sources C March 6‚ 2012 The importance of bacterial enumeration has become even more apparent in recent years due to the increasing numbers of harmful bacteria found in meat products. This process is the key to understanding the populations of microorganisms that contaminate the food supply. Much of the bacteria in meat has been shown to be resistant to multiple drugs; so disease-causing microbes

Aim: To verify the buffering capacity of a phosphate solution using a pH meter and construct a titration curve of an amino acid to determine the pka values of its ionisable groups to identitfy an unknown amino acid. Method: The ratio of [HPO42-] to [H2PO4-] required to produce buffer solutions at pH values 5.9‚ 6.9 and 7.9 were calculated. 0.1M of H2PO4- and 0.1M HPO42- were used to mix appropriate volumes to 25mL of each of the buffer solutions. The calibrated pH meter was used to measure

Abstract 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. ________

Proteins Are the basic materials of every body cell. Body cells are constantly wearing out. As a result‚ they are continuously in need of replacement Of the six nutrients group‚ only proteins can make new cells rebuild tissue. By the age of 4 years‚ body protein content reaches the adult level of about 18% of body weight. An adequate supply of proteins in the daily diet is essential for the maintenance of health. The word protein is a Greek derivation and means “of first importance”. Composition
