Protein Article Research John Doe SCI 241 May 17‚ 2012 Jane Doe Protein Article Research This class has been very informative during the past few weeks. We have learned how to count calories‚ read nutrition labels‚ use a tracker to monitor our daily intake‚ carbohydrates‚ and learned about proteins and their effects. According to the readings in the text and the article proteins are the building blocks in the body. I learned that protein is found in all tissues‚ cells and organs of the body

4.4. Direct determination of saliva proteins Protein contaminated with nucleic acids absorbed the light at wavelength 280 nm and it absorbs much strongly at wavelength 205 nm when it is free from nucleic acids. The UV-visible spectrophotometer was used in determination of saliva proteins (Figure 2.2). Cold trichloroacetic acid (10 % w/v ) was added to the sample‚ centrifuged for 10 minutes to precipitate protein. The absorbance of a known volume

“Use of Biuret Reagent to Test for Proteins In Food” Cindy Zhou Introduction Protein is a series of amino acids that are connected together by peptide bond. The bond is located between the end of previous amino acid‚ which is the carboxyl group‚ and the head of next amino acid‚ which is a amino group. The Biuret reagent is a solution of copper sulfate and potassium hydroxide. When peptide bond are presented‚ the copper (II) will interact with them (MadSci Network: General Biology). It is

Task 1 • Describe the structure of an enzyme as a protein‚ in terms of tertiary/ quaternary structures. 1) Primary Structure This is in reference to the order of way that amino acids are connected to form a protein. These are built up from 20 amino acids‚ and follow these structures o A carbon (the alpha carbon) bonded to the four groups below: o A hydrogen atom (H) o A Carboxyl group (-COOH) o An Amino group (-NH2) o A "variable" group or "R" group 2) Secondary Structure This is in reference

Yang ABSTRACT Protein concentration analysis is primarily done through an accepted form commonly referred to as the Bradford Protein Assay. The main purpose of this experiment was to observe and record the various protein samples’ absorbency values through the calibrated readings of a spectrophotometer

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

Separation of Proteins and Mass Analysis Using SDS PAGE Biology 00-01L Abstract This experiment consisted of separating proteins into polypeptides using a method called SDS PAGE which is a type of electrophoresis. The polypeptides had different masses‚ so each polypeptide traveled a different distance and this was an essential part of the lab which demonstrated that there exists a relationship between the distance traveled by the protein and the mass of the protein. This relationship was graphed

Determination of Protein Content Using Kjedahl and Titration 2.0 Introduction Proteins are polymers. They are the source of dietary amino acids and are used for growth and maintenance of living systems. They are costlier sources of energy compared to carbohydrates and fats and hence the human body utilizes proteins mainly for biosynthesis rather than as an energy source‚ though the energy yield is 5 kcal/g of protein. Twenty different types of amino acids occur naturally in proteins. Proteins differ
