The Separation and Purification of Organic Compounds Sunshine Marie Introduction Each year‚ many thousands of new or unknown organic compounds are prepared or extracted from natural sources such as plants‚ fungi and animals. In order to identify an unknown organic compound or the components of a mixture of organic compounds‚ it is necessary firstly to separate and purify the compounds. At any given temperature‚ a certain number of molecules of a substance in the liquid state have sufficient

DNA EXTRACTION In extracting chromatin from the cells of wheat germ there are seven steps to follow. The optimal cell to use would be the polyploidal eukaryotic. Eukaryotes have nucleus membrane-bound organelles‚ while prokaryotic does not. The polyploidal eukaryotic cell has DNA that is held in the nucleus while the prokaryote has DNA that floats freely around the cell. The DNA of eukaryotes is more complex and extensive than the other. Prokaryote is a bacterial cell that

Book Discussion Questions for Stuck in Neutral by Terry Trueman 1. Do you think the title fits the book? Why or why not? I do think the title fits the book as the whole narration is about the character not being able to express loud and clear what he really felt due to a medical condition. He expresses how this feeling of impotency make him feel like he was “stuck in neutral”- not advancing or progressing‚ just “being”. 2. Why do you think the book was written in the first person? I personally

the quantification of albumin and casein were performed and analyzed after extraction of the said proteins from their respective sources. Isolation of proteins was initiated by the breakage of the cell wall / membranes in three different ways. Homogenization of invertase‚ albumin and casein were achieved via grinding process‚ addition of 1M acetic acid and acidification by 0.1M hydrochloric acid correspondingly. Extraction of invertase and casein involved precipitation through the utilization of 95%

Tetrapyrrole compounds: chlorophyll and heme groups By Erwin Lim 1. Tetrapyrrole compounds A tetrapyrrole compound is a chemical group that consists of four pyrroles that are joined together by covalent bonds‚ forming a porphyrin ring. They are naturally occurring pigments‚ which are used in many biological processes (Berg‚ 2009). The basic structure of a tetrapyrrole is as seen in Figure 1‚ while the basic structure of a pyrrole is as seen in Figure 2. Figure 1.Tetrapyrrole Compound (Berg‚ 2009)

EXTRACTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PROTEINS Abstract Different techniques and principles for protein extraction and characterization were demonstrated in this experiment. Various proteins were extracted from different sources: 1.67 g yeast invertase‚ 1.03 g egg white albumin‚ and 5.15 g of milk casein. Activity assay for invertase was performed using Benedict’s test and the enzymes inverting action on sucrose was confirmed. Warburg-Christian Method and Bradford Assay were also employed to determine

Organic compound From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search Methane is one of the simplest organic compoundsAn organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon. For historical reasons discussed below‚ a few types of carbon-containing compounds such as carbonates‚ simple oxides of carbon and cyanides‚ as well as the allotropes of carbon such as diamond and graphite‚ are considered inorganic. The distinction between "organic"
