Structures‚ Biosynthesis and Biofunctions of Iron-sulfer proteins Yiming Chen‚ Brown University‚ May 11th‚ 2011 I. Introduction Iron-sulfur proteins are the proteins which contain iron-sulfur clusters‚ like sulfide-linked di-‚ tri-‚ and tetrairon centers with various oxidative states 1. An excess of 120 distinct types of enzymes and proteins are known to contain Fe-S clusters2. Iron-sulfur proteins are known for the role of the oxidation-reduction reactions of mitochondrial electron transportation

Copper-Iron Stoichiometry Lab Report 10/3/12 Abstract: The lab performed required the use of quantitative and analytical analysis along with limiting reagent analysis. The reaction of Copper (II) Sulfate‚ CuSO4‚ mass of 7.0015g with 2.0095g Fe or iron powder produced a solid precipitate of copper while the solution remained the blue color. Through this the appropriate reaction had to be determined out of the two possibilities. Through the use of a vacuum filtration system the mass of Cu was

STOICHIOMETRY The reaction of Iron with Copper(II) Sulfate Purpose: In this experiment we will use stoichiometric principles to deduce the appropriate equation for the reaction between metallic iron and a solution of copper (II) sulfate. This reaction produces metallic copper‚ which is seen precipitating as a finely divided red power. Materials: Flask beaker Copper solution Balance Hot plate •150 ml beaker •1 gram of iron power •30 ml of CuSO₄

EXPERIMENT : Iron in Breakfast Cereal by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy OBJECTIVES : 1) To determine the actual iron content of different brands of cereals 2) To compare the experimental results with the values listed on the manufacturer’s labels. INTRODUCTION : Iron is one of the important minerals that is required for our bodies to function properly. Most of the iron in our body is found in the blood such as haemoglobin‚ approximately 60 -70% of the human body’s iron is found in

Iron deficient anemia is a decreased total iron body content. It occurs when iron deficiency is severe enough to lower the amount of red blood cells being formed and it causes the development of anemia. It is the most common deficiency in the world. Hemorrhages can also cause anemia and much greater problems. Bleeding can also be so slow that it is often overlooked. Iron is a necessity for all living organisms because it is needed for many processes. Iron levels are carefully regulated by
Premium Blood Hemoglobin Iron
A Case of Iron Deficiency (Summarizing and Note-Taking) Describe the structure of a molecule of hemoglobin and explain the role played by iron in the transport of oxygen. The structure of hemoglobin is a hemi group. A hemi group consists of an iron (Fe) ion held in a heterocyclic ring. Iron binds with oxygen. Therefore‚ it has a very important role in transporting oxygen in the blood. How is iron stored and transported in the body? Iron can be stored within intestinal entrecotes bound to ferritin

modern humans to abandon bronze for iron? In this paper I will present the reasons for and the techniques used to develop iron into a useable metal that is far superior to bronze. Topics will include‚ when iron was first used‚ the accidental discovery of steel‚ and why bronze was replaced by iron. First though‚ let us look at the origins of iron. The Iron Age began around 1200 BC‚ according to Scarre‚ in southwest Asia (2005:434). It is know however that iron was in use as early as 3000 BC in
