Restriction Endonuclease Digestion of DNA from E. coli cells and Analysis by Agarose Gel Electrophoresis Introduction The main goals of this experiment are testing an alternative procedure called “boiling lysis”‚ evaluating the quality of the purified plasmid for restriction digests‚ and identifying the mislabeled plasmid. The plasmid DNA from a carrier E. coli strain was purified by the boiling lysis. In the boiling lysis method‚ the bacterial cells were given momentary heat treatment

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

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

Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) What is CBPP and what causes it? Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (plur-OH-new-MOAN-ya)‚ or CBPP‚ is an easily spread respiratory disease of cattle. It is caused by the bacteria Mycoplasma mycoides mycoides (my-COplaz- MA my-COYdees)‚ a similar but different organism than Mycoplasma bovis‚ the bacterium associated with mastitis and shipping fever in cattle. Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia is a serious disease in Africa causing death rates of up to 80%.

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

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

Biochemistry GRT 1 Task 4 -Case Studies Marie Marks Western Governors University Introduction The two case studies given both involve in the processes of making energy that the body needs to maintain and sustain life. Each case is a different diagnosis but they both have some involvement in the production of ATP and other products when creating energy. If someone has an issue with the production of energy it is hard to maintain life in the body. The body has many different enzymes that are
