    A protein is a Biological polymer made up of as different amino acids joined by peptide bonds. A protein is formed by amino acids which are the basic building block of a protein components of an amino acid include a :C-carbon atom‚ H-Hydrogen atom‚ H3N+ - Amino Group‚ COOH- - Carboxyl Group‚ R- this group varies from amino acid to amino acid. There are 20 amino acids‚ each differing in its R group. Two examples are: Glycine‚ its R group being H(Hydrogen) and Phenylalanine its R group being CH2 (Carbon

    4A.2 RRL 4A.2.1 Coagulation of Proteins Coagulation of protein refers to sticking together‚ like a blood clot‚ usually as a result of denaturation or coming out of solution due to abnormal ionic strength or a change of solvent. Definite characteristics of the proteins are changed when they are coagulated‚ among which is loss of solubility in water and dilute salt solutions. In some instances and under certain conditions the coagulation process may be reversible. (Campbell‚ et.al‚ 1979) 4A.2.2

    4.2 Changes in the Sequence of Senses in an Entry. Any language is vulnerable to changes at all its levels‚ so the core meaning/ historical meaning becomes no longer the commonest one. This shift of meaning is typical of basic words of everyday use and the reason for this can be the more frequent use of one of the senses. A proper example for this can be a word ‘see’ (v). In LDOCE 5 (2009) the first sense is “to notice or examine someone or something using your eyes”‚ the “ability to see”

    Carbohydrates have two major functions in plants and animals: they serve as fuel and building material. Plants store most of their energy in the form of starch. Starch is a polysaccharide (consisting of several conjoined sugars). Synthesizing starch enables the plant to stockpile surplus glucose‚ and since glucose is a major cellular fuel‚ starch represents stored energy. The sugar can later be withdrawn by hydrolysis‚ which breaks the bonds between monomers. Animals‚ in turn‚ have enzymes that

These complementariness principles do not only underlie current ideas on the structure of the nucleic acids‚ but they form the foundation of all speculations‚ more or less well- founded‚ on their physical properties (denaturation‚ hypochromic- ity‚ etc.)‚ on the transfer of biological information from deoxy- ribonucleic acid to ribonucleic acid‚ and on the role of the latter in directing the synthesis of specific proteins. They form the basis of present
