Study of Water Purification Methods Water is the most essential component of life on Earth. In the United States‚ the average person uses about 75 gallons per day of freshwater. Most of this water is pre-treated in facilities and comes out of the tap clean and ready for drinking‚ a fact many take for granted. If you are camping and hiking you won’t always have access to this source of healthy‚ potable water. Unfortunately‚ many water sources in the wilderness include microorganisms‚ bacteria

of experiment‚ we would generally see a decreasing trend for the total activity‚ total amount of protein‚ and percent yield and an increasing trend for specific activity and fold purification. These trends come about naturally when performing multiple purification steps. To determine the success of each purification step‚ the more important factors to look at are the total activity units‚ total protein amount‚ and percent yield. Looking at our purification table (table 7) our purifications were

PURIFICATION OF LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE FROM CHICKEN MUSCLE TISSUE Abstract The enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyzes the last step of anaerobic glycolysis that is important for the normal function of the body. Purification of LDH is essential to understand its structure and function. The purpose of this experiment was to extract and purify LDH enzyme from chicken muscle tissue using a variety of various. Analytical methods such as activity and protein assay were employed to determine

NANOTECHNOLOGY IN WATER PURIFICATION Introduction Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on a near-atomic scale to produce new structures‚ materials‚ and devices. This technology has the ability to transform many industries and to be applied in many ways to areas ranging from medicine to manufacturing. Research in nanoscale technologies is growing rapidly worldwide In the case of nanoscale materials‚ the uncertainties are great because the characteristics of nanoscle materials may be different

by everyday pollution from houses‚ factories‚ cars‚ and etc. This is the concept of acid rain‚ which according to EPA.gov is a broad term referring to a mixture of wet and dry deposition from the atmosphere containing higher than normal amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids. Acid rain isn’t just rain‚ its forms like hail or snow‚ which is wet deposition‚ and smoke or dust‚ which is dry deposition. The effects of acid rain are quite terrifying bringing all types of problems to the Earth‚ for example

EXPERIMENT 1: REACTIONS OF ENOLATE IONS WITH CARBONYL GROUPS Aims In this experiment we used two techniques for the reactions of enolate ions with carbonyl groups. One technique used was Doebner reaction and the other technique used was Claisen-Schmidt reaction. Therefore the aim of this experiment is to synthesize trans p-methoxycinnamic acid and to synthesize dibenzalacetone via an aldol condensation reaction between acetone and benzaldehyde. The products would be recrystallized using ethanol

Protein purification should result in only one type of protein ideally‚ which is the protein of interest‚ wt-DHFR and mut-DHFR in this case. A pure protein allows for further analysis on the protein to be conducted‚ such as its concentration (Bradford assay)‚ its molecular weight‚ and its biological activity. 2.

The purpose of module E is to learn several DNA techniques in the lab including DNA purification with solubility and absorption‚ plasmid transfection of E.coli‚ colony screening by PCR and quantitative PCR. First part of the experiment E1 show the purification method of DNA through solubility. E. coli lysate mixed organic solvents to purify the DNA present in solution. First‚ the lysate was mixed with phenol/chloroform‚ then vortexed‚ and centrifuged. We extracted the aqueous layer and combined
