Biochemistry Task 5 Shannon Alford Lipid Storage Molecule Conversion to ATP Lipids (also known as fats) are nonpolar‚ insoluble molecules gained within the body trough digestion of food. Triglycerides‚ a type of lipid that serve as storage units for energy have 3 fatty acid chain tails made up of carboxylic acid and a fatty carbon chain attached to a glycerol backbone. These molecules can be saturated or unsaturated contingent on the bond types and hydrogen number in the molecule. Anytime a fatty

Na’imat. Reg. No. : 0105514. Course: Immunology laboratory. Instructor: Dr. Muna Hassuneh. Report subject: Serum protein electrophoresis. Report No.: 1. Serum Protein Electrophoresis (SPEP) Introduction: The serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP) test measures specific proteins in the blood to help identify some diseases. And its uses an electrical field to separate the proteins in the blood serum into groups of similar size‚ shape‚ and charge. And here we’ll use gel electrophoresis which

EXPERIMENT NO. 15 PROTEIN CHARACTERIZATION BY ELECTROPHORESIS Abstract The molecular weights of protein extracts were assessed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Two sets of four protein samples‚ standard bovine serum albumin (BSA)‚ invertase‚ egg albumin‚ and casein‚ were prepared; one set containing β-mercaptoethanol (BME) while the other did not. These were then analyzed through SDS-PAGE with 12.5% resolving gel‚ prepared using 2 M Tris-HCl at pH 8

Starch give positive result in Iodine test as the colour of solution change from yellow to dark blue. Glucose is the simplest carbohydrates that are monosaccharide or simple sugar. Starch consisting of a large number of glucose units joined together by glycosidic linkage and known as polysaccharide‚ that is polymers of sugar.

Cells are dynamic structures with constant activity The carbohydrates are unique in forming long chain polymer and also branching these chains. This is more complicated than protein where only 20 amino acids can form a long single chain. Here there can be numerous kinds of bonding forming a straight chain or long chain polymer. More over the number of repeating units are also much greater than giving the structure variation. Carbohydrates can be broken down into monosaccharides which is a single

G-protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are cell surface proteins that relay extracellular signals to the nucleus. These signals can be in the form of light‚ peptides‚ lipids‚ and sugars. Once activated by a ligand at the outer cell surface‚ GPCRs activate their cognate G-proteins that reside on the inner cell membrane. The activated G-proteins then slide along the inside of the cell membrane to activate a cascade of proteins and enzymes that in turn amplify the original message received by the GPCR

Protein Article Research Kristen Roberts Immunity is the ability of a body to resist infection or to counter the harmful toxins produced by infecting organisms (Martin‚ Hine 2008). Antibodies and white blood cells are defensive cells and substances‚ these things produce an immune response. If such an encounter such as‚ bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites occur can make the macrophages engulf the microorganism and secretes cytokines and chemokines. This attracts immune cells to the infected

Reaction by a negative control is evidence of contamination. 2. The color changes expected for positive test results are Benedict’s test: orange to brick red Tollen’s test: metallic silver Starch iodine test: blue-black 3.
