In order to read DNA‚ it must be sequenced. This sequencing uses electrophoresis‚ a technique that separates sections of DNA that differ by a base. Electrophoresis used to be done manually‚ but was error prone and time consuming. Now‚ automatic sequencing machines are used. A technician begins the process by pouring gel between two glass plates that are set less than half a millimeter apart. After the gel is set up‚ DNA is put into each of the ninety-six lanes. The DNA sections then move through

Based on the data from the riboflavin spectrum scan‚ the maximum absorbance wavelength for this compound is 446 nm. This was the point between 390 nm and 500 nm at which the absorbance value (0.72) was the highest. A blank tube that has the components of the solution being examined except for the compound of interest is then used in combination to provide an even more accurate reading. Then‚ by using Beer’s Law‚ the molar extinction coefficient for riboflavin was able to be calculated: 14‚400 L/(moles*cm)

The characteristic properties of slime can be explained by polymerisation reactions. Polymers can be explained most simply by the polymerisation of the molecule ethylene into polyethylene (see figure 1 below). Figure 1. Polymerisation of polyethylene from ethylene. In this example‚ the double bond between the carbon atoms is broken‚ allowing each carbon atom to form one more bond between another molecule. The double bond between the carbon atoms is weaker because the type of orbital is ‚ compared

The first step was to prepare 400 mL of an 0.1 M solution of NaOH. This was done by diluting from the 6 M solution that was provided. Next‚ 0.715g of KHP was weighed using the glazed paper and the triple beam balance. The KHP was then transferred to the 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask. Using a graduated cylinder‚ 50 mL of deionized water was measured and added to the flask. The KHP was dissolved in the water‚ and few drops of phenolphthalein were added. Moreover‚ the burette was rinsed with deionized water

PRE-LAB The purpose of the lab is to determine the moles of hydrogen gas and then molar mass of the metal. First‚ the metal assigned to each group must be weighed out in order to ensure the hydrogen gas produced will not exceed the capacity for the gas measuring tube. Then‚ copper will be wrapped around the metal leaving 6-8cm at the end for a handle. The end wire will be bent into a hook to keep the sample at the bottom of the tube and increase the oxidation rate. A ring stand will need to be

The objectives of this experiment were to investigate the activity of enzymes‚ components that influence the enzyme’s activity‚ identify an unknown phosphatase‚ influence of inhibitors‚ and determine if inhibition is competitive or noncompetitive. A spectrophotometer evaluated the measurement of color change over a period time due to product being formed. Determining unknown phosphatase and effects from different inhibitors were determined by varying the pH and substrate concentrations. The unknown

Determining Genotypic Frequencies for Alu Insertion Polymorphism at the PV92 Locus Introduction An Alu element is a short stretch of non-coding DNA found in primates. It gets its name from the single recognition site for the endonuclease Alu I‚ located near the middle of the Alu element. Alu elements are transposable DNA sequences that copy and insert themselves into new chromosome locations. They are regarded as “selfish DNA” because they do not encode protein and appear to only exist for their

In this lab we employed various assays utilizing a biuret reagent‚ coomassie brilliant blue reagent‚ and ultraviolet light in order to determine the identity of six unknown solutions and the concentration of a bovine serum albumin sample. We were given three samples that lacked protein‚ and three samples containing proteins‚ and using a spectrophotometer we assessed the amount of light absorbed versus the light transmitted‚ based on the principles of the Beer-Lambert Law. The three proteins used
