1954 by John Hans Menkes‚ a pediatric neurologist who would also discover Menkes Disease. People with this condition lack specific enzymes required to metabolize certain amino acids. It is also commonly known as BCKD deficiency‚ branched chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase deficiency‚ branched chain ketonuria I‚ classical maple syrup urine disease or MSUD. There are several subtypes each with varying levels of severity and symptoms. Because it is inherited prevention is impossible.

with mitochondria and active dehydrogenases we found a color change supporting the fact of active mitochondria. Raw kernels have active dehydrogenation because of the colorless tetrazolium turning red. We can understand that boiled kernels were absent mitochondrial activity as well as active dehydrogenases due to the absence of any pink areas coincided with our understanding. Overall‚ the purpose of this lab was to find mitochondrial activity and/or active dehydrogenase using differential centrifugation

In chemistry‚ an alcohol is an organic compound in which the hydroxyl functional group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom. In particular‚ this carbon center should be saturated‚ having single bonds to three other atoms.[1] An important class of alcohols are the simple acyclic alcohols‚ the general formula for which is CnH2n+1OH. Of those‚ ethanol (C2H5OH) is the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages‚ and in common speech the word alcohol refers specifically to ethanol. Other alcohols are usually

Protease‚ Peroxidase and Mitochondrial Dehydrogenase. These enzymes were tested in three fractions which were obtained from a chicken liver cell namely the nuclei which contains the nucleus‚ microsome which contain the mitochondrion and other membrane bound organelles that are part of the endomembrane system and lastly the soluble which consists of the other organelles not mentioned above and different proteins. APDE‚ peroxidase and mitochondrial dehydrogenase were all incubated at 37 degrees Celsius

technique is used to separate proteins found in a mixture of solution. Affinity chromatography uses the strong interaction between a given protein and its corresponding molecule. In today’s lab‚ affinity chromatography was used to purify L-lactate dehydrogenase‚ which contains histidine-tagged protein. The histidine- tagged protein forms a strong interaction with the Ni-NTA column due to the presence of nickel ions. Varying concentration of imidazole was added to the column in order to elute out the

The AA supplementation was found to improve recovery. Forms of muscle damage have been caused by exercise which indicators include increases in creatine kinase (CK) and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LD or LDH) levels. According to studies‚ there were some major decreases in creatine kinase‚ and lactate Dehydrogenase values‚ with a deferred onset of muscle tenderness after exercising‚ when supplemented with the branch -chained Amino Acids (Nemet & Eliakim‚ 2007). During exercise vital AA’s were

Cellular respiration is a series of metabolic processes by which living cells produce energy through the oxidation of organic substances. Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to make foods from carbon dioxide and water. A critical cycle of energy and matter that supports the continued existence of life on earth are formed by cellular respiration and photosynthesis. When it comes to the stages of cellular respiration‚ there are three stages. The
