CRISPR-Cas9 is a method of gene editing that provides researchers with a way of precisely targeting a specific string of DNA. CRISPR is a sequence of repeated DNA located in the genomes of bacteria that are used in immune systems to help protect our bodies from infecting viruses. This method involves the use of an enzyme known as Cas9 and a guide RNA. A virus’s DNA becomes spacers in the CRISPR sequence when the new virus infects the bacterium. This sequence will then begin the process of transcription

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

nanoparticles have unique properties which help in molecular diagnostics‚ in therapies‚ as well as in devices that are used in several medical procedures. The major methods used for silver nanoparticle synthesis are the physical and chemical methods. The problem with the chemical and physical methods is that the synthesis is expensive and can also have toxic substances absorbed onto them. To overcome this‚ the biological method provides a feasible alternative. The major biological systems involved in this are

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

BIURET FOOD TEST FOR PROTEINS molecules consisting of one or more chains of amino acids.Proteins are complex molecules that react differently to many compounds but are also fragile and cannot withstand high temperatures or strong acids and bases without degrading. The Biuret Method‚ or biuret test‚ is used to detect the presence of peptide bonds. It has this name because it reacts positively to the biuret molecule’s peptide bonds. Correctly evaluating the number of peptide bonds is a step towards
