Protein is important! 1Protein is important because its an essential nutrient found in animal products‚ nuts‚ and beans. The name protein name comes from the Greek word protos‚ which means “first.” Your body uses proteins in your diet to build new cells‚ maintain tissues‚ and synthesize new proteins that make it possible for you to perform basic bodily functions. To visualize a molecule of protein‚ close your eyes and see a very long chain‚ rather like a chain of sausage links. The links in the

(McMorris‚ 2007) (Agriculture‚ 2007) (Chung SY1‚ 2004) (Agriculture‚ 2007) (McMorris‚ 2007) In less than ten years‚ nut allergies in children have risen by three times to what it used to be in United States. These are the leading causes of dangerous allergies are causing harmful anaphylactic reactions that can lead to death. In 2008‚ a research team found that 1.4% of children had a peanut allergy; more than three times the 0.4% rate back in 1997.The research carried out in the year 2002 in the

Report on Receptor Proteins According to Abedon (2012)‚ receptor proteins are intracellular proteins‚ or protein fractions‚ that have a high specific affinity for binding a known stimulus to cellular activity. Receptor proteins may be located at cell surfaces or within the interior of cells. They may detect hormones or instead keep track of what otherwise is going on in cell ’s environment. They may be enzymes or serve to relay the occurrence of signal reception in other ways such as by opening

in protein synthesis. In the past weeks‚ we were able to conclude that HL-60 cells treated with DMSO and HL-60 cells treated with PMA will differentiate into granulocytes and monocytes upon treatment (1). We were also able to observe that both types of treated cells will express the beta-actin gene because it is a housekeeping gene. However‚ only HL-60 cells treated with PMA will express the MMP-9 gene by their RNA. The purpose of this lab is to view the effects of differentiation on protein synthesis

A. Proteins- A protein is a naturally produced macromolecules that are made of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ and chains of amino acids. The amino acids are building blocks for all our cells. Proteins main function is to help in tissue repair and growth. There are three different types of proteins. Fibrous proteins help in forming muscle tissues‚ tendons‚ bones‚ and connective tissue and some examples of these are Actin‚ Coronin‚ Elastin‚ and Myosin. Globular proteins help in regulating

Lab2: Testing for Proteins and Starches In this lab 8 total substances were tested to find out whether they are a Protein or a Starch. It is my belief that only 1 or two of each of the substances in test 1( proteins) and test 2 (starch) will test positive for either protein or starch. For this lab the following materials were needed to complete the experiments in test 1 for proteins: Di water‚ ev milk‚ 50% egg solution‚ 1% sucrose‚ 4 test tubes‚ 1 test tube rate‚ safety glasses‚ pipets and

Task 1 • Describe the structure of an enzyme as a protein‚ in terms of tertiary/ quaternary structures. 1) Primary Structure This is in reference to the order of way that amino acids are connected to form a protein. These are built up from 20 amino acids‚ and follow these structures o A carbon (the alpha carbon) bonded to the four groups below: o A hydrogen atom (H) o A Carboxyl group (-COOH) o An Amino group (-NH2) o A "variable" group or "R" group 2) Secondary Structure This is in reference

The Role of DNA in Protein Synthesis DNA is found in the cells nucleus. It is part of the chromosome of the cell. DNA is the molecule that controls the making of protein. Protein is used for the growth of cells and organisms and also for the repair of cells. Protein is also used as an enzyme to speed up reactions in the body. Because of this DNA is able to control the whole organism. With out DNA and its ability to make protein the cells and eventually the whole organism would die

Title: Testing For Macromolecules Objective: Introduction Proteins are complex molecules which consists of carbon‚ oxygen‚ hydrogen and nitrogen. All proteins are made up of one or more polymers‚ known as polypeptides. Its monomers are amino acids. Protein can be divided into primary structure‚ secondary structure‚ tertiary structure and quaternary structure. It is important for all living things in the world as they form enzymes‚ antibodies and hormones. Materials and Procedures:

is one of the most widely used methods in clinical immunology assays to detect the presence and absence of certain antigens or antibodies and also to quantify them when necessary. Quantification can be done in a range of microgram (µg) to nanogram (ng). The ELISA procedure takes advantage of the fact that most proteins will bind firmly to the surface of different kinds of plastic (polystyrene or polyvinyl chloride)‚ usually by hydrophobic interaction. The steps of the ELISA procedure are simple
