Laboratory Exercise #3 Measuring Protein in Solution Abstract The purpose of this lab was to learn about the Biuret assay reaction to determine if it can detect proteins and amino acids; also‚ to understand the process of “salting out” proteins and how to determine the amount of protein in a solution. In order to do so‚ egg white and ammonium sulfate were mixed on ice and then put into the centrifuge. After PBS was added‚ the amount of protein could then be determined. After that‚ 14 test tubes

Environmental Working Group’s analysis suggests that 97 percent of hair relaxers‚ 57 percent of baby soaps and 22 percent of all products in Skin Deep may be contaminated with 1‚4-dioxane [1]. Independent lab tests co-released by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics in 2007 showed that popular brands of children’s bubble bath and body wash contained 1‚ 4-dioxane HEALTH CONCERNS:

Synthesis of Aspirin and Oil of Wintergreen INTRODUCTION: Synthesis and use of organic compounds is an extremely important area of modern chemistry. Approximately half of all chemists work with organic chemicals. In everyday life‚ many if not most of the chemicals you come in contact with are organic chemicals. Examples include drugs‚ synthetic fabrics‚ paints‚ plastics‚ etc. Synthesis of Aspirin and Methyl Salicylate. The two compounds we will be preparing‚ aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) and oil

According to Figure 4 and 5‚ the moles of Cu initially obtained and at completion‚ differentiated. It was evident that the initial moles of Cu (0.0254)‚ did not regenerate all the amount‚ as 0.0124 moles of Cu was attained. In regards to this‚ the no. moles that was eliminated was approximately‚ 0.013. Respectively‚ in Figure 3‚ a large deviation amongst the initial and final quantity of copper‚ this implies that the rest of the mass that had diminished‚ was greater than the final product. These

Abstract This experiment investigated the kinetics of the enzyme glycogen phosphorylase b which is important to metabolism. AMP is an allosteric activator of the enzyme because it converts glycogen phosphorylase b from its T state to the R state which is the active form. Caffeine is an inhibitor because it binds the nucleoside inhibitor site. When it binds this site‚ it stabilizes the inactive T state and blocks the catalytic site which needs to be open for enzyme activity to occur. The glycogen

In experiment 3.1.We set up and calibrate the spectronic 20 first since it takes time to be ready to use so‚ we turned the spectronic 20 to warm up for at least 15 minutes‚ set wavelength to 360 while no test tube in it. Also‚ we set the filter lever in order to match the wavelength range‚ and then set the transmittance to 0%‚ then we changed the mode to absorbance. After we labeled two test tubes which were #5 and #10‚ we inserted water first to set 0 absorbance‚ then we used #5 sample to read it

Reshmi Nair Title: Determination of Aspirin through back titration. Aim: To determine the concentration of Aspirin in a tablet using NaOH and Hcl. Research Question: What is the concentration of Aspirin in a normal tablet? Background: Aspirin is the general name for acetylsalicylic acid (ASA); it is also the trademark of the drug produced by Bayer in Germany. In eighty countries‚ aspirin is a registered trademark‚ but in other places the term aspirin refers to ASA by itself or as an ingredient

Chem 105 Guide to the Formal Laboratory Report The purpose of a formal report is to communicate effectively to another person the goal‚ procedure‚ data analysis method‚ and results of your laboratory work. The report is divided into several well-defined sections. Each section must be present in a complete report. To earn an outcome point for the laboratory report‚ a student must submit a formal lab report that earns a score of at least 90/100. Each error (factual‚ grammatical‚ typographical
