Biology 4U Exam Review Intro to Biochemistry Types of bonding: Ionic Results from the attraction between two oppositely charged atoms or molecules. They must lose or gain electrons to become charged. For example‚ a sodium molecule and a chlorine molecule form an ionic bond to create sodium chloride (NaCl) Covalent Results from the sharing of one or more pairs of valence electrons to create a stable molecule. For example‚ the covalent bonding of hydrogen ions creates hydrogen gas (H2)

competitive binding drugs can cause a decrease in the amount of drug bound to protein and increase the biological active fraction of the drug. The aim of this study is to analyze the interactions of Lomefloxacin (LMF) and Colchicine (COL) with human serum albumin (HSA) and to evaluate the mechanism of simultaneous binding of LMF and COL to protein. Fluorescence analysis was used to estimate the effect of drugs on the protein fluorescence and to define the binding and quenching properties of drugsHSA complexes

To favor its adsorption‚ the polysaccharide was previously substituted with low concentrations of phenoxy groups. The amount of dextran adsorbed

atrium and then the left ventricle pumps it to the rest of the body. Blood travels round the body faster‚ delivering nutrients faster‚ so the animals have a higher metabolic rate. 1.1.2 Arteries and veins contain collagen: a tough‚ fibrous protein to make them tough and durable. The artery wall stretches as blood is pumped in and then recoils as the heart relaxes. Blood flow is continual and there is a pulse. Contracting muscles and low pressure in the chest when breathing in assist

the following questions: What is the difference between Resolution and Magnification? What is the difference between Amplitude contrast and Phase contrast? A student in a cellular biology laboratory is faced with the task of detecting protein X in muscle cells taken from a rat. The tissue is required to be live while under analysis. Which type of microscopy should be employed? a) Phase contrast light microscopy b) Transmission electron microscopy c) Scanning electron microscopy d) Fluorescence

are present in a protein‚ in this case gluten. Introduction: Proteins are large biological molecules that are made up of amino acids. They serve as building blocks that form organic structures such as tendons‚ muscle‚ and cartilage. Enzymes - biological catalysts that allow important chemical reactions to occur in our body - are also made up of proteins. Thus‚ proteins play a fundamental role in the processes of life. [1] Protein purification is basically isolating a protein from complex mixtures

understanding of prion disease. The background knowledge of proteins and their characteristics help me to analyze the spread of the disease better. Engineering the prion protein using chemical synthesis and biological characteristics will provide a full analysis. The author concludes with his own story‚ about a mysterious neuromuscular disease that is gradually robbing him of his mobility. Like the prion diseases‚ his is a disorder of misfolded proteins. However he realizes that his condition is not as fatal

Biology Exam Review Unit One – Biochemistry What is an isotope? Isotope - An isotope is all atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons‚ but they may have different numbers of neutrons in the nucleus. - This means that all atoms with the same atomic number can have different atomic masses. - Because they have the same number of protons and electrons‚ they behave exactly the same in chemical reactions. Radioisotope - The nuclei of some isotopes of an element are unstable

2010 Maple Syrup Urine Disease I. General Information -Maple Syrup Urine disease is an inherited disorder in which the body does not and is unable to process certain protein building block called amino acids leucine‚ isoleucine‚ and valine. -To treat this disease the infected would have to have a protein-free diet. Fluids‚ sugars and possibly fats are given through a vein (IV). II. Nature of this Mutation -Symptoms of this mutation include avoiding food‚ coma‚ feeding
