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

Synthesis of Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic Acid) Abstract: This experiment is about the synthesis of aspirin under laboratory conditions. Aspirin is prepared by reacting salicylic acid and acetic anhydride; in the presence of sulfuric acid. After fully dissolving the salicylic acid with acetic anhydride‚ the solution is cooled and cold water is then added. Once the crystals form they are then filtered and left to dry out. There mass is measured and recorded then the yield is calculated. Introduction:

Rebecca Boreham 7/1/14 Chem 2423 Experiment #5 Synthesis of Aspirin Elizabeth Ajasa Kaylee Seymour Lauren Hatfield Suveda Perikala Introduction/ Purpose Aspirin is the most commonly used drug in the United States. Forty million pounds are produced each year. The chemical name for aspirin is Acetylsalicylic acid. Aspirin is a pain reliever and a fever reducer. Aspirin originated from the bark of a White Willow Tree. Chewing the bark however is extremely acidicand irritates the mucous membranes

X. Y . ] &Butyl Esters of Amino Acids and Peptides and their Use in Peptide Synthesis1 BY GEORGEv. ANDERSON i A ND FRANCIS. C.4LLAHAN M R ECEIVED NOVEMBER 1959 30‚ T he s ynthesis of t-but)-1 esters of amino acids and peptides and their use in peptide synthesis is described. T h e most convenient method was the acid-catalyzed reaction of isobutylene with benzyloxycarbonylamino acids or peptides followed by catalytic hydrogenation to produce the basic esters. Another general method

used in testing were all functional groups‚ Aldehyde‚ Ketone‚ Alcohol and‚ Ester. Functional groups are a portion of a molecule that give the molecules its properties‚ they are the centers of chemical reactivity. The structures of the functional groups used in testing are displayed in Figure 1.0. Figure 1.0 Structure of Functional Groups to Distinguish from Within the

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

The way the author chooses to describe them‚ give them personalities‚ is how the reader will see their lives. A character’s psyche and the way he thinks about events around him change the way a reader perceives the story. Authors have an amazing chance to shape and bend a story to fit what they want

The structure and synthesis of TPC is outlined in Scheme 1. Briefly‚ the compound 1 was synthesized as per literature procedure. 2 was synthesized by reacting 1-methy pyrazole-4-boronic pinacol ester with 1 by suzuki-coupling‚ the final product TPC was synthesized by treating with malononitrile in the presence of piperidine as a base and ethanol as solvent. The detailed synthesis procedure given in the experimental section. The structure and purity of TPC was unambiguously confirmed by 1H and 13C

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

The Grignard Synthesis of Triphenylmethanol Abstract: Grignard synthesis of triphenylmethanol was achieved by use of the Grignard reagent phenyl magesium brominde. The organometallic grignard reagent was synthesized by use of a reflux apparatus recrystallization techniques. Once synthesized it was used in a Grignard reaction that involved nucleophilic addition to a carbonyl in order to make triphenylmethanol. The final product was solidified and recrystallized and spectral data was
