Abstract The objective of this experiment was to observe multi-step purification of benzoic acid after performing the extraction from a mixture containing benzoic acid‚ cellulose‚ and methyl orange. Recrystallization was done to remove impurities from the sample. The amount of BA recovered during recrystallization is much less than the extracted amount of BA. The difference between the pure and impure samples was observed by comparison of melting points. It was found that impure samples will have

2 Production of Protein from Cloned Genes Now that we have covered the basic techniques involved in gene cloning and DNA analysis and examined how these techniques are used in research‚ we can move on to consider how recombinant DNA technology is being applied in biotechnology. This is not a new subject‚ although biotechnology has received far more attention during recent years than it ever has in the past. Biotechnology can be defined as the use of biological processes in industry and technology

Structures‚ Biosynthesis and Biofunctions of Iron-sulfer proteins Yiming Chen‚ Brown University‚ May 11th‚ 2011 I. Introduction Iron-sulfur proteins are the proteins which contain iron-sulfur clusters‚ like sulfide-linked di-‚ tri-‚ and tetrairon centers with various oxidative states 1. An excess of 120 distinct types of enzymes and proteins are known to contain Fe-S clusters2. Iron-sulfur proteins are known for the role of the oxidation-reduction reactions of mitochondrial electron transportation

BEHAVIOUR OF AMINO ACIDS IN SOLUTION Abstract In this practical the acid-base behaviour of amino acids was assessed. Amino acids are amphoteric. They have the basic (amine) and the acidic (carboxylic) functional groups. These show the same type of equilibrium reactions that all weak acids and bases undergo‚ and the relative amount of each can be altered by adjusting the pH of the solution. For this practical glycine was used as a model to show this unique nature of amino acids. A series of

Acid and Base Titrations: Preparing Standardized Solutions Introduction: This experiment focuses on titrations of acids and bases. A titration depends on addition of a known volume of solution and is a type of volumetric analysis. Many titrations involve either acid-base reactions or oxidation-reduction reactions. In this experiment we do one of each. We monitor the pH of the reaction with the use of a color indicator. We also learn about the standardization of bases (NaOH) and acids (HCl) which
