Abstract The activity of invertase and 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

mixed micelles. During low blood sugar levels‚ the secretion of glucagon and adrenalin hormones activates the release of the enzyme triacylglycerol lipase‚ which subsequently stimulates the release of fatty acids in adipocytes. The blood protein serum albumin then transports the fatty acid through the bloodstream to tissue such as the renal cortex‚ heart and skeletal muscle in order to provide energy through β-oxidation.

DNA fragments. In order to do this‚ a polyacrylamide gel will be prepared and placed in a buffer-containing gel electrophoresis apparatus. Next‚ an aliquot of acid phosphatase and a molecular weight marker (Composed of Phosphorylase B‚ bovine serum albumin‚ ovalbumin‚ and carbonic anhydrase) will be placed into separate wells within the gel‚ and the apparatus will be connected to a constant voltage source (175 V) for an allotted period of time (60 min). This will allow electricity to flow through

discrepancy. Some of the common causes in this group are: • Subgroups may be present • Weak expression of A or B antigens in cases of leukemias or occasionally Hodgkin’s disease • Acquired B antigen; this is suspected when the group appears AB but the serum contains anti-B. A1 cells are notorious for such type of expression. This phenomenon is frequently encountered in patients of carcinoma colon and rectum.
