In this report‚ the concentration of total protein and albumin were calculated with the interpretation of a standard curve. To determine the concentration of total protein in human serum‚ a total protein assay was performed by using the Biuret reagent. Proteins react to this compound because it contains two amide bonds. When the Biuret reagents is introduced to a sample of protein‚ it forms a blue or violet complex. The concentration of albumin in human serum is determined by using the Bromocresol

Protein Synthesis Notes If DNA’s shape is altered it can’t function properly. RNA is more flexible so changing the shape changes the function‚ which is wanted. Any shape of RNA can become another. Three shapes/functions of RNA: -mRNA: messenger (linear_____) -rRNA: ribosomal (large and like a globe) More stable than mRNA. -tRNA: transfer (shaped like t) If you flatten this it becomes mRNA. Hydrogen Bonds ………………………………. Protein Synthesis Overview- Two Processes: Transcription- synthesis of

These tests determine what amino acids are present in a protein‚ in this case gluten. Introduction: Proteins are large biological molecules that are made up of amino acids. They serve as building blocks that form organic structures such as tendons‚ muscle‚ and cartilage. Enzymes - biological catalysts that allow important chemical reactions to occur in our body - are also made up of proteins. Thus‚ proteins play a fundamental role in the processes of life.

NUCLEIC ACIDS I.BASIC CONCEPTS II.CLASSES III.CHEMICAL NATURE IV.FUNCTION I.BASIC CONCEPTS NUCLEIC ACIDS polymeric macromolecules‚ or large biological molecules‚ essential for all known forms of life are made from monomers known as nucleotides Each nucleotide has three components: a 5-carbon sugar‚ a phosphate group‚ and a nitrogenous base If the sugar is deoxyribose‚ the polymer is DNA. If the sugar is ribose‚ the polymer is RNA. Together with proteins‚ nucleic acids are the most

There is a big difference between sequence of development and rate of development. I will explain below any give some examples and explain why the difference is so important. -Sequence of development; is usually the same pattern or order in which child is developed but not necessarily in the same age of group. It also includes the development of intellectual growth. Example of sequence of development is a child that first sits then crawls‚ walks before he/she will run; itâ€TMs called order or pattern

Task 1 • Describe the structure of an enzyme as a protein‚ in terms of tertiary/ quaternary structures. 1) Primary Structure This is in reference to the order of way that amino acids are connected to form a protein. These are built up from 20 amino acids‚ and follow these structures o A carbon (the alpha carbon) bonded to the four groups below: o A hydrogen atom (H) o A Carboxyl group (-COOH) o An Amino group (-NH2) o A "variable" group or "R" group 2) Secondary Structure This is in reference

Protein Article Research Sara Langrell December 15‚ 2011 Nutrition SCI/241 Dr. Venessa Lee Abstract: Athletes have been searching for years for a way to reduce the amount of recovery time between work outs. Based on this issue there has been quite a lot of research conducted to find out what can be done‚ if anything‚ to either reduce or eliminate recovery time. One of the theories is to increase protein intake above the daily recommended amount‚ thereby providing the body with additional

accepted the origin of all life on Earth. In the article‚ “The Proof is in the Proteins: Tests Supports Universal Common Ancestor for All Life”‚ by Katherine Harmon‚ a scientist by the name of Douglas Theobold carried out statistical analysis on 23 preserved proteins that were preserved over three major domains of life. The result of these analyses supported Darwin’s evolutionary theory‚ by demonstrating that the protein sequences of life today came from a common universal ancestor rather than separate

Introduction: In this essay‚ I will make an abstract of the definition about “General environment”. With examples behind to support my points in defining “General environment”. Moreover‚ I will list out the challenges provided by several types of general environment factors that make difficulties to managers. I will choose an organization (Cathay Pacific) to be an example to describe the elements that may exist in its general environment. Of course‚ related references will be provided to backup the points
