My graduate studies dealt with extensive and comprehensive advanced coursework and research‚ which not only helped me learn and understand the intricacies of Microbiology and Molecular Biology‚ but also provided an insight of its association with other fields like Biochemistry and Bioinformatics. I completed my graduate research work under the guidance of Dr. Shaikh‚ who is an expert in the field of Enzymology and Virology. The

Activity 1: 1. Did any solutes move through the 20 MWCO membrane? Why or Why not? 2. Did Na+Cl- move through the 50 MWCO membrane? Activity 2: 1. Are the solutes moving with or against their concentration gradient in facilitated diffusion? 2. What happened to the rate of facilitated diffusion when the number of carrier proteins was increased? 3. In the simulation you added Na+Cl- to test its effect on glucose diffusion. Explain why there was no effect. Activity 3: 1. Which membrane resulted

Nanotechnology Applications Nanotechnology is science that involves working with matter at the molecular or nano-scale (25‚ 400‚ 000 nanometers equal 1 inch) dimension‚ the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between 1 and 100 nanometers (AmericanElements‚ 2010). Today where unique phenomena enable novel applications‚ this includes Fuel Cell Development‚ Biotechnology‚ and Medicine among others. Using the heating properties of iron oxide nanoparticles in gene regulation‚ cancer therapy

Transgenic Animals: Ethical Issues and Benefits to Human Welfare Nowadays‚ breakthroughs in molecular biology are happening at an unprecedented rate. One of them is the ability to engineer transgenic animals‚ i.e.‚ animals that carry genes from other species. The technology has already produced transgenic animals such as mice‚ rats‚ rabbits‚ pigs‚ sheep‚ and cows. Although there are many ethical issues surrounding transgenesis‚ this article focuses on the basics of the technology and its applications

2. Why do you think the urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane? How well did the results compare with your prediction? Your answer: The urea was not able to diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane because the molecular weight was too high. For a molecular weight of 60.07‚ a larger membrane would need to be used. The results opposed my prediction because the urea did not diffuse at all. I predicted that it would diffuse‚ but very slowly. 3. Describe the results of the attempts to

Do you think urea will diffuse through the 20 MWCO membrane? Your answer : a. Yes‚ but very slowly. Predict Question 2: Recall that glucose is a monosaccharide‚ albumin is a protein with 607 amino acids‚ and the average molecular weight of a single amino acid is 135 g/mole. Which of the following will be able to diffuse through the 200 MWCO membrane

Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) Definition Definition In molecular biology‚ restriction fragment length polymorphism‚ or RFLP is a technique that exploits variations in homologous DNA sequences. It refers to a difference between samples of homologous DNA molecules that come from differing locations of restriction enzyme sites‚ and to a related laboratory technique by which these segments can be illustrated. In RFLP analysis
