Chapter 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES Related Literature Spider silk (Parasteatoda tepidarium) commonly known as agiw in Filipino‚is a material spun by varieties of spiders.Spider silk has a unique combination of mechanical strength and elasticity that makes it one of the toughest materials we know.(Arizona State University‚2013). Furthermore‚silk consists of very repetitive blocks of mainly glycine and alanine.These are the simplest and smallest amino acids allowing strands to be packed

Breast Cancer Research Biology 1010 Breast Cancer is a dynamic and devastating disease that kills and affects millions of people. Some of the newest research is fascinating. There have been discoveries from what may potentially cause breast cancer‚ to preventions of breast cancer. To understand the research behind breast cancer and why it is so important you must first understand what breast cancer is. Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that starts from cells of the breast.

EXPERIMENT 2: Recrystallization and Melting Point Recrystallization (or Crystallization) is a technique used to purify solids. This procedure relies on the fact that solubility increases as temperature increases (you can dissolve more sugar in hot water than in cold water). As a hot‚ saturated solution cools‚ it becomes supersaturated and the solute precipitates (crystallizes) out. In a recrystallization procedure‚ an impure (crude) solid is dissolved in a hot solvent. As this solution is cooled

Results and Discussions Cbes-AXE2 encodes a novel acetyl xylan esterase The CAZy database has grouped esterases acting on carbohydrates into 16 different families of carbohydrate esterases (CEs). AXEs (EC 3.1.1.72) acting on acetylated xylan are distributed in only 8 families – CE1-7 and 16. Among these‚ other than CE4‚ all other CEs belong to serine esterase and have the prototype catalytic triad Ser-His-Asp (Glu). Genralyy‚ the catalytic serine of the triad lies in a conserved motif of either

Chemical T ests for Unknowns Chemical tests have been developed as a means of identifying what functional groups are present in an unknown compound. Since IR and NMR spectroscopy has been developed‚ they are no longer critical to unknown analysis‚ but they can still be useful for confirming what you have determined by spectroscopy. Some of them look cool too! In order for a chemical reaction to work as a chemical test‚ it must 1) create a visible result (a color change‚ a precipitate‚ etc)
