Investigating the Activity of Cholinesterase and its Inhibitors Introduction: Enzymes are highly specific biological catalysts (proteins) that influence the rate of metabolic reactions (Smith‚ 1997). They are responsible for efficiently converting substrate molecules into products required to sustain life (Grisham et al.‚ 1999). The activity of enzymes can often be effected by other endogenous or foreign factors (e.g. inhibitors). Inhibitors are able to decrease the rate of enzymatic activity

Selective Precipitation of the Barium Magnesium Group ABSTRACT The purpose of this lab was to identify the cations from the barium magnesium group present in an assigned unknown solution through selective precipitation. This was a qualitative lab where the theory of the common ion effect was used in several steps. Once the experiment was completed‚ it was determined that unknown solution #4 contained Ba2+‚ Sr2+‚ and Mg2+ ions. INTRODUCTION Selective precipitation is a part of chemistry

Selective mutism (SM) is an anxiety disorder that prevents children speaking in certain social situations‚ such as school lessons or in public.
