As shown in the balanced chemical reaction in figure 1‚ Felbinac is synthesized from 4-bromophenyl acetic acid‚ phenylboronic acid‚ and 10% Pd/C. Figure 1: The balanced chemical reaction showing the synthesis of felbinac. It functions by inhibiting cyclooxygenase-1‚ which releases prostaglandins that cause pain as a response to injury. In a study conducted by Moore et al.‚ 160 patients were subject to various topical NSAIDS to determine their effectiveness

TRANSCRIPTION: Transcription is the process of which DNA matches corresponding RNA bases‚ Transcription is located in the Nucleus‚ and the only type of RNA that is involved in Transcription is mRNA‚ and the purpose is so that the code can get out of the Nucleus‚ mRNA is also made through Transcription‚ It also takes information that doesn’t directly make proteins but it helps makes codes for the production of proteins‚ DNA Transcription consist of 4 nucleotide bases‚ Adenine‚ Thymine‚ Cytosine‚ Guanine
Premium DNA Gene Protein
If I want to target the peptide to different compartments‚ I would use specific signal sequences or uptake-targeting sequences encoded into my peptide. Signal sequences contain information that will target the peptide to a particular organelle. The information is usually encoded within amino acid sequences of the protein itself‚ usually within the 20-50 amino acids. Also‚ each organelle has specific set of receptors that bind only to the specific signal sequences‚ thus making sure of target specificity

In this lab we employed various assays utilizing a biuret reagent‚ coomassie brilliant blue reagent‚ and ultraviolet light in order to determine the identity of six unknown solutions and the concentration of a bovine serum albumin sample. We were given three samples that lacked protein‚ and three samples containing proteins‚ and using a spectrophotometer we assessed the amount of light absorbed versus the light transmitted‚ based on the principles of the Beer-Lambert Law. The three proteins used

Every cell‚ whether it belongs to a plant‚ bacteria or a human‚ requires energy from varying food sources to survive. However‚ when cells break down food into its sugar components‚ i.e glucose‚ they cannot use the components directly because glucose holds a lot of energy it would be inefficient to use for reactions that don’t need a lot of energy. Imagine you want to buy pencils for $5 from a store that won’t give change‚ it is more economical to use a $5 or $10 bill than a $100‚ that way there is

PRE-LAB The purpose of the lab is to determine the moles of hydrogen gas and then molar mass of the metal. First‚ the metal assigned to each group must be weighed out in order to ensure the hydrogen gas produced will not exceed the capacity for the gas measuring tube. Then‚ copper will be wrapped around the metal leaving 6-8cm at the end for a handle. The end wire will be bent into a hook to keep the sample at the bottom of the tube and increase the oxidation rate. A ring stand will need to be

1. In the Luminol synthesis the compound being oxidized was the sodium hydrosulfite. 2. The purpose of the acetic acid is to pronate the dianon organic molecule to make the neutral organic compound‚ Luminol that will crash out of the solvent. If the number of moles were reversed for acetic acid and sodium hydroxide the solution would be very basic‚ and and the amount of Luminol produced would decrease. 3. The cold water was used to decrease the solubility of Luminol in the solvent and prevent further

After the liquid was fully evaporated it was taken out‚ wiped dry and‚ allowed to cool. Then the mass was measured. Then the lab station was cleaned and the waste properly disposed of.
