Laboratory Exercise #3 Measuring Protein in Solution Abstract The purpose of this lab was to learn about the Biuret assay reaction to determine if it can detect proteins and amino acids; also‚ to understand the process of “salting out” proteins and how to determine the amount of protein in a solution. In order to do so‚ egg white and ammonium sulfate were mixed on ice and then put into the centrifuge. After PBS was added‚ the amount of protein could then be determined. After that‚ 14 test tubes

in humans is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and the muscles which functions as the secondary long-term energy. Glycogen is often referred to as animal starch because it is the complement of starch in plants for they have a similar structure to amylopectin but more extensively branched and compact than starch. Glycogen plays an important role in the glucose cycle. It forms an energy reserve that can be quickly mobilized to meet a sudden need for glucose‚ but this is less compact

Catabolism of Proteins F. Photosynthesis Page 2 BIO 2924 Mr. Smith Unit III Enzymes An enzyme is an organic catalytic agent produced by a living cell. A catalyst is a substance that has the capacity to speed up chemical reactions without itself being altered after the reaction is complete. Characteristics of Enzymes 1. Most enzymes are proteins or proteins combined with other chemical groups‚ and other enzymes (ribozymes) are composed of RNA. Since enzymes are proteins or RNA molecules

Erwin G Communication 17 September‚ 2012 Informative Speech: Whey Protein I. Introduction a. Muscles!! Everyone wants them; guy’s wants big arms and girls wants nice toned bodies. But they aren’t easy to build. Trust me I know. b. Having the opportunity last semester to take a weight training class to try and get more muscle and bulk up I realized I would need some sort of supplement to help me build more muscle. I also learned that it takes a good workout

enzyme for starch digestion‚ salivary amylase may well represent a potential compensatory alternate pathway for the digestion of amylose‚ amylopectin‚ and glycogen. Clinically significant depression of pancreatic amylase occurs in chronic pancreatitis‚ pancreatic resection‚ pancreatic neoplasm‚ cystic fibrosis‚ and other causes of pancreatic insufficiency. Quantitation of salivary amylase in these diseases has yet to be performed. It is also unclear whether the presence of starch in a meal

EXERCISE 3: DIFFERENTIAL PROTEIN PRECIPITATION Vanessa Andrea Estepa University of Mindanao‚ College of Science and Mathematics ABSTRACT: Denaturation is the disruption in the original conformation of the protein wherein the secondary‚ tertiary and quaternary structures are all affected. Denaturation is brought about by various kinds of physical and chemical means; this includes the addition of strong acids‚ heavy metal cations‚ alkaloidal reagents‚ salting out and addition of organic solvents.

problems with only fat and obese people‚ but what about those who are skinny? We tend to automatically assume thin or skinny people are healthy ‚ but what if they are not? We often assume things because of how something appears to be. With today’s social media ‚ we ostracize skinny or thin as our image of health. In order to be healthy we have to be this size or weigh this much. When truth be told people who are the “ideal” weight and size can have the same medical issues as if they were fat or obese .

* Training the class on how to make a tasty protein shake * Main interest is working out and staying active * Before I get any further I want to list the training objectives and they are the process and ingredients used to make a shake‚ the benefits and common mistakes. * Just get a general view of the audience‚ HOW MANY HAVE TRIED WHEY OR SOY BASED PROTEIN BEFORE? AND YOUR EXPECTATIONS ON THE TASTE? * What you need to make a protein shake? Why Banana (sweet when ripe and added potassium

During protein digestion‚ a water molecule is added which breaks down the carbonyl-carbon-nitrogen sin the peptide bonds of proteins causing the liberation of amino acids. This process is referred to as proteolysis. Water molecules break down the carbonyl-carbon-nitrogen single bond (peptide bond) that holds single amino acid molecules together (Caroline Ritchie‚ 2013. This process is called hydrolysis and is catalysed by protease. The three main protease enzymes produced during digestion are pepsin
