Wang Experiment #4 Recrystallization of Pure Phthalic Acid‚ Benzoic Acid and Napthalene Introduction Recrystallization is a important method in purifying organic compounds which are solid. It is an effective method that is important to be familiar with that is essential in the industrial chemical world. This experiment will allow students to be familiarized with the technique of recrystallization by working with phtalic acid‚ benzoic acid and naphthalene from appropriate organic solvents. Experimental

To purify the protein in the cell lysate from lab 1 through nickel affinity chromatography. Protein purification should result in only one type of protein ideally‚ which is the protein of interest‚ wt-DHFR and mut-DHFR in this case. A pure protein allows for further analysis on the protein to be conducted‚ such as its concentration (Bradford assay)‚ its molecular weight‚ and its biological activity. 2. Overview of experiments Buffer Preparation Add the liquid sodium phosphate‚ solid sodium chloride

Glycogen is a polymer/polysaccharide that serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi and is a primary carbohydrate storage form in animals. Glycogen in humans is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and the muscles which functions as the secondary long-term energy. Glycogen is often referred to as animal starch because it is the complement of starch in plants for they have a similar structure to amylopectin but more extensively branched and compact than starch. Glycogen

Task-2 Part-2 Fibrous proteins /collagen: From my diagram I can observe the quaternary structure is 3 helical polypeptides which are looped around and is held by hydrogen bonds. The 3 stranded molecules runs parallel to others and the disulphide cross-linkages between the r-groups of the amino acid holds the molecules together forming fibres. Collagen molecules forms covalent bonds which are called cross links‚ with other collagen molecules next to it. The cross-links that form are shocked along

question ask is‚ how big is my protein footprint? It also asks‚ does a meat rich diet have a negative impact on our environment? And does it contribute to global warming? With a very small percentage of Americans following a vegetarian diet. I will say that my protein footprint is about the same as the majority of the US population. I understand that a good source of protein can be found in nuts‚ black beans and lentils. However the number one source of protein in a US household‚ comes from

Protein structure Types of bond other then peptide... produce movement; hemoglobin transports oxygen; and membrane proteins regulate the movement of substances into and out of cells. Protein protects from cancerous cells as well researchers from the University of Tokyo

To examine three different ways of denaturing proteins. HypothesisIt was predicted that the physical characteristics of the egg white solution at room temperature would appear clear and normal like a raw egg white. This is because nothing would be done to the egg white. It was also predicted that when the egg white solution gets heated‚ the protein would denature if the temperature exceeds 65 °C. The protein would solidify‚ turn opaque‚ and turn white in colour. This would happen because the heat

see looking at the Total Protein column on Table 3‚ the most effective step with regard to the percent of remaining protein removed was affinity chromatography because it was able to remove 98.6% of the remaining proteins. In comparison to 81.93% removed during the 65% ammonium sulfate precipitation and 81.3% during the size exclusion. This means that the affinity chromatography removed a big percentage of contaminating proteins. However‚ removing this huge amount of protein left us with a small amount

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
