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

what I accomplish in the campus reflects my personality. I decided to study biochemistry because I want to make a change in this world‚ and also because I want to serve the humanity through harnessing the fields of biology and chemistry to ameliorate people’s health and to develop new technologies that will improve industrial processes. Possessing millions of dollars will support my post studies in chemistry and biochemistry branches‚ which will enhance my level of knowledge in these fields‚ thus having

ISOLATION OF INDIVIDUAL BACTERIAL COLONIES ON SOLID MEDIA Robert Koch developed a method for isolating pure cultures on solid media in 1883. To this end he added agar (a solidifying agent) to liquid nutrient broth; the nutrient broth supports the growth of a wide variety of microorganisms while the agar provides a solid substrate on which bacteria can be mechanically diluted and therefore isolated as independent colonies representing different bacterial species. The isolation of independent bacterial

is the process by which each molecule of glucose is converted to two pyruvate molecules‚ creating two ATPs and two nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). NADH is also converted to four ATPs during the electron transport chain. An enzyme is a protein or other substance that will bind to a substrate‚ or substance that needs to be changed‚ to create a new‚ different‚ product. This product then becomes the next substrate for another enzyme and so on. An enzyme lowers the activation energy of a

INTRODUCTION To begin the process of protein extraction and compare the results in a study‚ it is necessary to understand the importance of proteins‚ the process of extraction and how you are using the results to determine a rational conclusion. First understand proteins and the necessity of studying their impact. Proteins are essential molecules for biological functions and are the stimulant for

BASICS OF INTEREST RATE SWAPS A swap is an agreement between two institutions to exchange future cash flows. Suppose there is a bank receiving fixed 8% return on 2 year money lent. This bank can swap its revenue stream against another firm’s variable rate 2 year money. In practice swaps tend to be more complicated and can involve more simultaneous variations of interest rates and currency as well. When settled‚ only the differential between the would-be payments are exchanged between two parties

Experiment 2 Quantification of Proteins in Solution by Spectrophotometer Lab bench# 1 Introduction: Absorption spectroscopy is a common method for finding the concentration of proteins or protein complexes in a solution. Proteins absorb light at specific wavelengths and can be defined by the equation A = log (Io/I). This equation states that an absorbance at a specific wavelength‚ A is equal to the log of the ratio of incident light intensity (Io)‚ to transmitted light intensity (I). A

Biochemistry and Thought Production A humans cognition and thought processes are based on biochemical reactions within the human body. Biochemistry is the function of chemicals and processes occurring within a living being. It can be used in many ways to explain how our thoughts are produced. Through the functionalist perspective mental states and brain states are combined to form a matrix of thought. Functionalists argue that environmental inputs and mental states play a pivotal role

The book takes place in the heat of the Great Depression when finding a job was extremely difficult. During this era‚ many people became migrants‚ traveling from farm to farm picking fruit and other crops‚ barely earning enough money to escape starvation. The lack of food‚ clothing‚ shelter‚ and
