PURIFICATION OF LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE FROM CHICKEN MUSCLE TISSUE Abstract The enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyzes the last step of anaerobic glycolysis that is important for the normal function of the body. Purification of LDH is essential to understand its structure and function. The purpose of this experiment was to extract and purify LDH enzyme from chicken muscle tissue using a variety of various. Analytical methods such as activity and protein assay were employed to determine

Homeostasis Due Date: November 4‚ 2014 Homeostatic Imbalances a Person on Dialysis Might Face Homeostasis is extremely important for proper functioning of all the human body systems. When our body is not able to regulate temperature all our body functions will fail to work. Even the enzymes need a specific constant temperature to work at their optimum level. At higher temperatures the enzymes will stop working. Dialysis is the artificial process of getting rid of waste (diffusion) and unwanted water

ADI Lab Report Every living thing is made up of cells. All cells have some part in common. Some multicellular cells are highly specialized and carry out some very important functions. One of the special cells are red blood cells‚ their functions‚ transporting oxygen from the lungs to the cells in the body. Red blood cells look like little discs. Red blood cells can change their shape‚ this ability allowing them to squeeze through capillaries without breaking. Our task is to Design and carry out an

throughout the medium‚ and eventually settle. Membranes‚ Osmosis‚ and Dialysis * Substances can move across a semipermeable membrane through osmosis and dialysis. * Osmosis and dialysis regulate the distribution of nutrients in the cell and the removal of waste products from the cell. * Simple diffusion is the spontaneous movement of a molecule or ion from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. * In osmosis‚ water crosses a semipermeable membrane by simple diffusion

Albumin’s Composition or charge was too great to diffuse through the membrane. After the 2nd activity : Simulating Dialysis What happens to the urea concentration in the left beaker (the Patient)? It diffused to the right beaker Why does this occur? The excess amount must be diffused to reach equilibrium. 3rd exercise :Facilitated Diffusion At ta fiven concentration

3. Describe the differences between animal and plant cells. Although plant and animal cells both have mitochondria‚ cytoplasm‚ and ribosomes they differ in many ways. Animal cells do not have a cell wall and are round with irregular shapes. Centrioles are also present in all animal cells‚ as well as most eukaryotic cells. Plant cells only have centrioles if they are in the lower plant species. Both types of cells have vacuoles‚ but their functions are quite different. The purpose of vacuoles in

Black Chem 4135.001 Abstract: Like the previous experiments‚ the ultimate goal of this lab was to purify the enzyme sample. However‚ this is the last lab for purification and high level techniques of purification were employed to achieve this. Dialysis was used first‚ lowering the small-molecule concentration within the sample. Finally Affinity Chromatography on a Cibacron blue Sepharose stationary phase. Using BSA‚ which is analogous for BCA assays‚ a standardization was created to understand
