T2:BIOCHEMISTRY AND ANALYSIS:DETECTION OF FATS‚PROTEINS AND CARBOHYDRATES OBJECTIVE The main purpose of the experiment is to understand some general tests that detect fats‚proteins and carbohydrates in foods. INTRODUCTION Carbohydrates are also known as sacharides. There are 4 main groups of carbohydrates‚which are monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. Carbohydrates play an important role in living organism as it is the energy storage‚ and it also plays

Internal assessment on enzyme concentration Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts and they are the most important type of protein. My aim in this experiment was to investigate the effect of enzyme concentration on the rate of an enzyme (protease) – catalyzed reaction ‚ catalysts speed up chemical reactions . My hypothesis is that the rate as reaction will increase as the concentration of protease in the solution increases so it will take less time for

Protein Article Research Michael Jones SCI/241 Nutrition January 14‚2015 Emily Wong-Swartz Have you ever put in consideration the importance of protein and its effect on the human body as it relates to proper nutrition and dieting? If you haven’t please note that protein is vital source of energy and a component of the macronutrients chain in human dieting. The very element of protein itself is somewhat complex‚ and I will discuss with you later in details protein and its functions‚ the various

Today‚ is my second day in concentration camp #59‚ which goes by the name Sobibor; an extermination camp. (Which is just one type of many different purposed camps‚ including prisons‚ labor‚ and transit camps.) I arrived here yesterday at roughly a quarter to noon‚ with my sickly mother Aliza and two older brothers Adam (17) and David (21). My father was brutally murdered yesterday by one of the many Nazi soldiers who invaded our home. “Eliana‚ sis‚ wake up. Protocol will begin in five minutes

Protein is important! 1Protein is important because its an essential nutrient found in animal products‚ nuts‚ and beans. The name protein name comes from the Greek word protos‚ which means “first.” Your body uses proteins in your diet to build new cells‚ maintain tissues‚ and synthesize new proteins that make it possible for you to perform basic bodily functions. To visualize a molecule of protein‚ close your eyes and see a very long chain‚ rather like a chain of sausage links. The links in the

(McMorris‚ 2007) (Agriculture‚ 2007) (Chung SY1‚ 2004) (Agriculture‚ 2007) (McMorris‚ 2007) In less than ten years‚ nut allergies in children have risen by three times to what it used to be in United States. These are the leading causes of dangerous allergies are causing harmful anaphylactic reactions that can lead to death. In 2008‚ a research team found that 1.4% of children had a peanut allergy; more than three times the 0.4% rate back in 1997.The research carried out in the year 2002 in the

Report on Receptor Proteins According to Abedon (2012)‚ receptor proteins are intracellular proteins‚ or protein fractions‚ that have a high specific affinity for binding a known stimulus to cellular activity. Receptor proteins may be located at cell surfaces or within the interior of cells. They may detect hormones or instead keep track of what otherwise is going on in cell ’s environment. They may be enzymes or serve to relay the occurrence of signal reception in other ways such as by opening

Specificity of Protein-Ligand Binding 1). One can conclude that Orange G. has the lowest affinity for the albumin. In the experiment the concentration of Orange G that binds to protein was a lot less than either Ponceau S. or Bromophenol blue. The ligand with the highest affinity to BSA was a little more difficult to decipher. The experiment shows that all of the 2 µL of both Ponceau S. and Bromophenol blue bind to the BSA. However‚ when 5 µL of the ligand is added the BSA is saturated and cannot

in protein synthesis. In the past weeks‚ we were able to conclude that HL-60 cells treated with DMSO and HL-60 cells treated with PMA will differentiate into granulocytes and monocytes upon treatment (1). We were also able to observe that both types of treated cells will express the beta-actin gene because it is a housekeeping gene. However‚ only HL-60 cells treated with PMA will express the MMP-9 gene by their RNA. The purpose of this lab is to view the effects of differentiation on protein synthesis

A. Proteins- A protein is a naturally produced macromolecules that are made of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ nitrogen‚ and chains of amino acids. The amino acids are building blocks for all our cells. Proteins main function is to help in tissue repair and growth. There are three different types of proteins. Fibrous proteins help in forming muscle tissues‚ tendons‚ bones‚ and connective tissue and some examples of these are Actin‚ Coronin‚ Elastin‚ and Myosin. Globular proteins help in regulating
