Effect of Protein Intake on Strength‚ Body Composition and Endocrine Changes in Strength/Power Athletes Introduction: Proteins are often called the building blocks of the body. Protein consists of combinations of structures called amino acids that combine in various ways to make muscles‚ bone‚ tendons‚ skin‚ hair‚ and other tissues. They serve other functions as well including nutrient transportation and enzyme production. Adequate‚ regular protein intake is essential because it isn’t easily

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

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 of macromolecules 3. Define structural isomers‚ geometric isomers‚ and enantiomers. SI-have the same molecular formula but differ in the covalent arrangement of atoms. GI- have the same covalent partnerships

RNA Analysis 1. The color result is light brown. 2. A positive Biuret test indicates the presence of proteins in the filtrate. Biuret is used to test for proteins. It is a light blue color and changes to purple in the presence of protein‚ a polymer made of amino acids. It will not change color when only amino acids are present. 3. What type of molecules present in the suspension is hydrolyzed by the mild acid treatment? 4. The products of hydrolysis are peptones‚ peptides‚ and amino acids

Introduction: Proteins are necklaces of amino acids – long chains molecules. Proteins are the basis of how biology get this done. As enzymes‚ they are the driving force behind all the biochemical reactions which make biology work. As structural elements‚ they are main constituents of our bones‚ muscles‚ hair‚ skin‚ and blood vessels. As antibodies‚ they recognize invading elements and allow the immune system to get rid of the unwanted invaders. For these reasons‚ scientists have sequenced the

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

PROTEIN TRANSLATION 1. Initiation Translation To begin translation: large and small ribosomal subunit‚ along with the initiating tRNA‚ assembles onto the mRNA 2. Translation Elongation The next amino acyl-tRNA enters the ribosome at the A site The amino acid at the P site is transferred to the tRNA at the A site. The ribosome moves one codon farther along the mRNA‚ releasing the empty tRNA through the E (exit) site. The A site is free for the next incoming RNA. The cycle is repeated as the

Introduction Protein purification is the series of processes to isolate a single type of protein from a complex mixture. This is vital to extract and characterize the protein of interest. However‚ before doing so‚ it is important to release the protein from the subcellular organelles. This step is also known as homogenization. This step can be done with the use of blender. As the solution was homogenized‚ it may undergo saltation or acidation to remove impurities such as calcium anions. Hexane
