consuming fats and proteins. According to the Mayo Clinic‚ the main goal of this diet created by Robert C. Atkins in 1972‚ was to maintain a balanced amount of carbohydrates and fats and proteins for ideal health and weight loss. When the Atkins diet was first introduced‚ it was believed that consuming too many carbohydrates led to blood sugar imbalances‚ cardiovascular complications‚ and weight gain. The main idea of restricting levels of carbohydrates consumed and increasing fats and proteins has evolved

Email: femijohn@gmail.com 43 INTRODUCTION The roles of metal ions in metalloenzymes include direct participation in catalysis‚ stabilization of protein structure and regulation of enzymatic activity. Membrane alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a metal-containing enzyme that serves as a good model for the study of metal ion interactions in enzyme catalysis. Native E. coli ALP contains three metal ion binding

can have a little of what you fancy without causing major disruption to your body. The right combination of carbohydrates‚ protein and fat eaten at regular intervals will help keep energy levels high. 2. Increase Protein: Eating healthy high protein snacks will help keep your blood-sugar levels even so that you don’t have energy ’highs’ and ’lows’. Aim for half protein & half carb per snack...Ie: Cashew Butter & Celery‚ Houmous & Cucumber‚ Ham & Melon or Fruit & natural nuts & seeds are just

The tert-butyl group has been broadly used to protect functional groups in natural product synthesis such as amino acid‚ peptide and protein chemistry [1]. The tert-butoxycarbonyl (BOC) group is known as protecting group for amides in organic synthesis. The introduction of BOC group improves the solubility of organic precursors and their processability in organic synthesizes [2]. The methyl substituted pyridine derivatives were widely reported for their various biological activities such as anxiolytic

Macromolecular Composition of the Liver Cell Formal Report Aims The aim of the experiment was to test for the presence of DNA‚ RNA‚ protein and glycogen in the cytoplasm and the nucleus of bovine liver cells. From the findings of the results the distribution of these macromolecules can be shown within the liver cell. This was carried out by undertaking qualitative experiments‚ where the observation of a colour change was noted and a quantitative experiment‚ where numerical data was recorded from

study of proteomes‚ which are groups of proteins in living systems. It is used to examine when and where proteins are being expressed‚ rate of degradation‚ modifications‚ how they interact with other proteins and more. The goal in this lab was to determine the similarities and differences in muscle proteins among 5 species of fish using SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. First‚ proteins are separated based on size. Second‚ antibodies are used to detect the protein of interest. Lastly‚ a substrate that

An ABC transporter is system that involves the use of a substrate binding protein and ATP. By combining these the substrate binding protein and ATP‚ the transporter is able to increase the concentration of the nutrient inside the cell‚ even if it is against the concentration gradient. When comparing the concentration of nutrient‚ the cytosol often has a higher concentration of nutrients compared to the periplasm and‚ possibly the environment (depending on how nutrient rich the environment is.
