ANALYSIS OF MOUTHWASH Background Information: Commercial mouthwashes are mixtures of water‚ alcohol‚ dyes‚ flavorings‚ and other compounds. In this experiment‚ you will use gas chromatography to determine the alcohol content of the mouthwash. Since the volumes of alcohol and water are not additive when mixed‚ a calibration curve must be used. It will provide the correction factor needed for alcohol-water mixtures. The calibration curve will be prepared by placing a known amount of alcohol

17.1 Genes specify proteins via transcription and translation * George Beadle and Edward Tatum worked together with mutated (Neurospora crass) bread mold to figure out that they were missing a specific enzyme (gene) that catalyzed and synthesized a pathway required. They concluded that they were missing that enzyme because it was lacking the amino acid that coded for the enzyme‚ thus was mutated and incapable of growing. Led to the one enzyme-one gene hypothesis. The Products of Gene Expression:

Discussion Using the Thin Layer Chromatography experiment‚ caffeine was found to be the most polar due to the fact that it stayed closer to the stationary phase. Caffeine contains four amine groups that are extremely polar as a result of the hydrogen bond and amide functional group. Acetaminophen was found to be the second most polar analgesic drug tested. Acetaminophen contains a polar alcohol group on one side and amide group on the other but also includes non-polar functional groups that consisted

Understanding ion permeability is vital to knowing how it establishes a membrane potential‚ and how it eventually leads to the contraction of muscle cells. This was done using crayfish tail muscles. Lateral and medial tail muscles from the tail of a crayfish were excised. These muscles were then placed into solutions with different types of ion concentrations. Usage of different ion concentrations was necessary in practicing how to measure resting membrane potentials accurately. Measurements with

accessory NEF protein in HIV infection Kanokporn Tangthamvanich Department of Microbiology and Immunology University of Otago [Word count: 895] The role of the accessory NEF protein in HIV infection In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection‚ there is one essential virulence protein‚ the Nef protein‚ which is identified as a negative factor due to it having a negative effect on viral replication (1). It performs critical functions in the host during the viral life cycle. The Nef protein is only

Where ’s the Protein? Proteins‚ which are constructed from amino acid monomers‚ are considered one of the four major macronutrients needed by the body‚ along with carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ and nucleic acids. Only the first three nutrients listed require delicate balancing. One must consider the sources from which he or she receives those required nutrients. Carbohydrates from fruits‚ vegetables‚ and grains; lipids from oily animals such as fish or plant foods like avocados; and proteins from meats‚

While attending Indiana State University‚ one of the first sculptures I took an interest in was the Via Solaris. “Via Solaris‚” Latin for the way or road of the sun. The sculpture is about 20-feet tall and made of bronze and steel. Via Solaris was created by John Van Alstine (b. 1952)‚ an American sculptor living and working in New York State best known for stone and metal abstract sculptures exhibiting exceptional balance and poise. The sculpture is located on the north side of Stalker Hall on

"Communicating via computer" can mean many things‚ and the advantages/disadvantages are different for each. In general‚ communication via computer provides people who are not able to be with each other the opportunity to stay in touch through the exchange of written words‚ live written conversation‚ live visual conversation‚ and many other options. For people who are separated from loved ones and cannot afford or are unable to travel‚ computer communication is a wonderful and useful tool in both
