protein consists of two sites: a constant region (C) and a variable (V) region. In the constant region‚ the amino acid sequences remain similar to another antigen receptor from another B cell. What determines the main difference in targeting specific types pathogen for each B cell is the variable region. A variable region of an antigen receptor from one B cell has completely different amino acid sequencing than the variable region of another antigen receptor from another B cell. Thus‚ the variable region

Figure 1: Formation of benzocaine from p-aminobenzoic acid Experimental P-aminobenzoic acid (1.211g) and absolute ethanol (15mls) were combined with three boiling chips in a 50ml round bottom flask. The round bottom flask was placed on a heating plate and was refluxed starting at 109 ̊C. The solution began boiling at 111 ̊C. It was allowed to reflux for approximately 30 minutes and the solid was dissolved. The round bottom flask was then placed in an ice bath and allowed to cool to

butanols with hydrobromic acid. Before the lab began we discussed and proposed mechanisms. (see “Mechanisms”) To begin this experiment we calculated how much of each material we were going to be using‚ and the numbers we chose to use differed from our reference text slightly. We used 6.5 mL of our assigned butanol and only 4 mL of sulfuric acid. Going back to our reaction mechanisms‚ we were looking at SN1 and SN2 reactions‚ so we of course used the hydrobromic acid as our acid catalyst which would be

Experiment on Metals Aim-To find out which of these metals will be most reactive with hydrochloric acid‚and plan an investigation to test it out.The Metals given:Calcium‚Aluminium‚Iron‚Magnesium and Zinc. Prediction-I predict that the metal will be the most reactive with hydrocholoric acid is calcium because calcium is in Group 2 which is the alkaline earth metals in the periodic table and because calcium is at the extreme left side of the periodic table and as you go across a period‚the element

____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ ______ This lab was basically about finding the percentage of acetylsalicylic acid in an aspirin tablet. First‚ the base was created‚ which was made out of 1.00 g of NaOH and D-water. Then the buret was attached to the clamp on the ring stand and the base was poured into the buret. After that‚ one by one‚ an aspirin tablet was dropped

Application of lactic acid bacteria There are four major categories for the current uses and applications of LAB: food‚ cosmetic‚ pharmaceutical‚ and chemical applications. In food industry Recent years the interest increased in using LAB by using bacteriocin-like inhibitory substances (BLIS) because of their potential use as a natural antimicrobial agent to enhance the food safety of food products and increase the nutritional values of the food. Foods that fermented by LAB such as cheese

Exercise 10: Acid/Base Balance Worksheet Respiratory Acidosis and Alkalosis Activity 1: Normal Breathing 1. At 20 seconds‚ pH = 7.38 2. At 40 seconds‚ pH = 7.38 3. At 60 seconds‚ pH = 7.38 4. Did the pH level of the blood change at all during normal breathing? If so‚ how? No. 5. Was the pH level always within the “normal” range for the human body? Yes. 6. Did the PCO2 level change during the course of normal breathing? If so‚ how? No. Activity 2a: Hyperventilation

macromolecules with unique three-dimensional conformations. Therefore‚ the specificity of enzymes is a consequence of its shape which results from its amino acid sequence. The enzyme binds to the substrate at a region known as the active site‚ a groove on the surface of the protein. The active site of an enzyme is formed by a few of the enzyme’s amino acids while the rest of the protein molecules determine the configuration of the active site. The specificity of the enzyme is attributed to the shape of the
