    • 3 Pages

    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.

    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. [1] Protein purification is basically

    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

    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
