    One aspect of nutrition that is vital is protein. Protein is one of four major building materials in the human body. Proteins are composed of carbon with Hydrogen‚ Oxygen‚ and Nitrogen attached. Some proteins also have Sulfur‚ Phosphorus‚ and Iron. Proteins are made up of sub-units called amino acids‚ of which there are twenty. These are just the basics of what proteins are composed of. Amino acids‚ which are the sub-units of Proteins‚ can be divided into two groups. Eleven of the twenty amino

    How the structure of proteins are related to their functions Rachel Morris The basic building blocks of proteins are amino acids‚ the biuret reaction tests for protein. A solution of sodium hydroxide is added to a sample then a few drops of copper sulphate solution‚ if positive – the solution will turn mauve. There are 20 different amino acids and they can be joined in any order. Therefore there can be many different functions. A protein consists of one or more polypeptide chains (a polypeptide

    purification of proteins What are proteins? Proteins are the main building blocks of life. They are essential for the body and have many different roles . Proteins are made from sequence of amino acids. Protein structure is determined by their sequence of amino acids‚ which are linked by peptide link. Proteins are made from about 50 to 2000 amino acid residues. Figure 1 Why purify proteins? They are many reasons why a biochemist might want to purify a protein. For example to

    Why should we care about proteins? • Proteins perform structural and functional roles in the body • Your body uses them‚ to build and repair tissue. It is an important building block of bones‚ muscles‚ cartilage‚ skin‚ and blood. • Proteins are a major key in making hormones like insulin • Albumin‚ which is a protein made by the liver acts like the bloods 24-hour service that attaches to and transports fatty acids‚ calcium‚ and other substances through the circulatory system to cells throughout the

    In our experiment‚ we will be testing three different proteins to see if they denature at the same temperature. A protein is a molecule containing amino acids created in ribosomes that have many functions‚ including being an enzyme and transporter‚ structuring‚ translating genetic information‚ and serving as a channel for charged molecules to pass through the cell membrane. As a molecule‚ a protein is shaped like a coil (Food Science Basics 2014). Denaturation is when a protein’s shape changes due

    highly pigmented protein that imparts the characteristic color to certain blue-green algae. It also facilitates a reaction necessary to the survival of this species; we can follow the kinetics of this reaction by measuring the conversion of Substance X to Substance Y at various times during purification.” Techniques and methodologies for extracting the proteins and purifying Enzyme X are as follows: The blue-green tinted proteins in Enzyme X give a distinct color to algae. The proteins are contained

    All cells have the same basic structure (see figure 1) however some cells are specialised to suit a specific purpose. An example of this is the pancreatic beta cells found in the islets of Langerhans. These cells are specialised to synthesise the protein insulin that is involved in the metabolism of glucose in the cells. (Layden‚ 2010) Figure 1 - Picture to show basic structure of a cell. (Farrabee‚ M J. 2007) But how is insulin made? The production of insulin starts in the nucleus which is the

    Experiment 2: Food Tests Objective * To study the presence of reducing sugars. * To study the presence of protein. Introduction In this experiment‚ glucose‚ maltose‚ lactose and sucrose are used for testing reducing and non-reducing sugars. Glucose is monosaccharide while maltose‚ lactose and sucrose are disaccharides of carbohydrates. Monosaccharaides are the monomers which make up all other carbohydrates and cannot be broken into smaller molecules by hydrolysis. Disaccharides are

    Fish phylogenetic tree based on protein size Amanda Reed Lab partners: Lecia Redwine‚ Kyle Hatcher TA: Baneshwar Singh Biology 117‚ Section 25 Tuesday 10:30 AM Introduction       Although tree diagrams have been used since the days of Charles Darwin‚ biologists have only recently adopted the tree model of evolution to read and interpret phylogenies. One of the reasons for this is the confusion that often arises from using a tree model to describe a phylogeny (Baum‚ 2008a). Many people interpret
