Title:Identification of Amino Acids and Proteins Introduction : Amino acids are molecules containing an amine group(NH3)‚ a carboxylic acid group(R-C=O-OH) and a side-chain( usually denoted as R) that varies between different amino acids. The key elements of an amino acid are carbon‚ hydrogen‚ oxygen‚ and nitrogen. Proteins are biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form in a biologically functional way. A polypeptide is a single

Lab Report #1 Introduction A cell’s plasma membrane is known to be selectively permeable. This implies that the membrane is selective on what substances can pass in and out of the cell. There are two methods of transport that occur through the plasma membrane. One method of transport is called active process which uses ATP energy to transport substances through the membrane. The other method is called passive process which does not require the use of ATP energy. During passive processes

Urea‚ NaCl and glucose diffused 5. Which did not? Why? Albumin‚ because the molecular weight exceeded the highest MWCO membrane‚ thus being to large to pass through Activity 2: Simulating Dialysis 1. What happens to the urea concentration in the left beaker (the patient)? It is reduced to 50% travels

(20 points) Cell culture media typically contain a blend of glucose‚ amino acids‚ salts‚ and a buffer. Majority of cell lines also require the addition of blood serum nutrients. Using the article “Managing Serum Requirements in Cell Culture”‚ discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using serum for cell culture. Animal blood serum in a factor needed in the cell culturing of mammalian cells for its nutritional content of growth factors‚ proteins‚ enzymes and other factors that are crucial for

some enzymes used in diagnostic kits. Testing the serum content is a very useful tool in the clinical diagnosis in general. Normally the enzymes are present inside the cells and the enzyme activity in the serum is very low. As the tissue gets damaged‚ due to a disease or infection‚ enzymes can be released from the damaged cells into the serum. As enzymes are biological catalysts‚ the detection of the presence and the activity of them in the serum is relatively easy‚ comparing to other types of substrates

1. Introduction People still die from diabetic ketoacidosis. Poor patient education is probably the most important determinant of the incidence of the catastrophe that constitutes "DKA". In several series‚ only about a fifth of patients with DKA are first-time presenters with recently acquired Type I diabetes mellitus. The remainder are recognised diabetics who are either noncompliant with insulin therapy‚ or have serious underlying illess that precipitates DKA. Most such

Reality of Vaccinations Making critical decisions can be brutally tormenting when it comes to one’s health. We as humans do not like to decide health issues for ourselves. We would rather have an expert‚ like a doctor‚ tell us what is best for one and what will go into one’s body whether it be medicines‚ foods‚ herbs‚ chemicals‚ or vaccinations. If one is a parent it is more difficult to make decisions for a loved one’s health than their own. No one intentionally wants their loved ones to suffer
