Introduction The human body is kept alive due to an immeasurable amount of chemical reactions that occur in perfect synchronization. Also‚ these reactions take place at an incredibly fast rate; however‚ without enzymes‚ these reactions could possibly take several years to complete. An enzyme is a macromolecule‚ generally a protein‚ that lowers the activation energy of a reaction without being changed by the reaction‚ and this causes the reaction to occur much faster than usual (Campbell et al.

University of Texas at Tyler Lab 3C: Purification of L-Lactate Dehydrogenase By Affinity Chromatography on Cibacron-Blue Sepharose David Alexander 10-15-2014 Dr. Black Chem 4135.001 Abstract: Like the previous experiments‚ the ultimate goal of this lab was to purify the enzyme sample. However‚ this is the last lab for purification and high level techniques of purification were employed to achieve this. Dialysis was used first‚ lowering the small-molecule concentration within the sample. Finally

Experimental Investigation and Analysis of Mercerized and Citric Acid Surface Treated Bamboo Fiber Reinforced Composite Abstract: Mercerization or NaOH fiber surface treatment is one of the most popular surface treatment processes to make the natural fibers such as bamboo fibers compatible for use as reinforcing material in composites. But NaOH being a chemical is hazardous and polluting to the nature. This paper explores the possibility of use of naturally derived citric acid for bamboo fiber

Submit your completed lab report to the Lab: Photosynthesis Lab assignment link for grading. For information on how this assignment will be graded‚ please visit the Course Information sectionChlorophyll and Accessory Pigments A pigment is any substance that absorbs light. The color we see comes from the wavelengths of light that reflect. Chlorophyll‚ the green pigment common to all photosynthetic cells‚ absorbs all wavelengths of visible light except green. The green reflects back to our eyes

COrdination compounds Question 9.1: Explain the bonding in coordination compounds in terms of Werner’s postulates. =Werner’s postulates explain the bonding in coordination compounds as follows: (i) A metal exhibits two types of valencies namely‚ primary and secondary valencies. Primary valencies are satisfied by negative ions while secondary valencies are satisfied by both negative and neutral ions. (In modern terminology‚ the primary valency corresponds to the oxidation number of the metal

stereochemistry General Concepts The most common of the variety of methods available for preparing alkyl halides is the replacement of the hydroxyl group of an alcohol. This type of reaction is representative of an important class of reactions in organic chemistry called nucleophilic aliphatic substitution reactions. There are numerous ways of doing this transformation‚ and we will discuss these in lecture. In this experiment you will convert an alcohol to an alkyl halide by reaction with a hydrohalic

Radial Immunodiffussion (RID) Christian Crespo 18 October 2013 Immunology Lab Report Purpose of the Experiment: The objective of this experiment is to quantitatively observe the foundational reaction in our Immune system; the Antigen-Antibody interactions. The Ouchterlony procedure is what will be used in this lab to detect nature of the antibody interaction. The orientations of the band will provide more information about the interaction of antibody and antigen

INTRODUCTION Biodiversity presents occurrence of variety of species and their natural community in which they live. By the definition it is “The degree of variation of life forms within a given species‚ ecosystem‚ biome‚ or an entire planet. It is a measure of the health of ecosystems and is in part a function of climate.” (Rutherford) Ecosystem is on the other hand‚ “ community and its abiotic environment”( Rutherford). Biodiversity exists in every ecosystem‚ weather it is big one‚ or just ecosystem

using graphical method? Name: Chia Yee Xin Candidate Number: Session: October 2014 School: Sri KDU International School Research Question: To measure the density of water using graphical method. Introduction: Water is the most abundant compound on the Earth and it covers about 70% of the Earth’s surface. Water is a transparent fluid which forms the world’s streams‚ lakes‚ oceans and rain‚ and is the major constituent of the fluids of living things. What is its density? I chose this experiment

Bacterial Transformation Lab Report Backround: The plasmid pGLO contains an antibiotic-resistance gene‚ ampR‚ and the GFP gene is regulated by the control region of the ara operon. Ampicillin is an antibiotic that kills E. coli‚ so if E. coli‚ so if E. coli cells contain the ampicillin-resistance gene‚ the cells can survive exposure to ampicillin since the ampicillin-resistance gene encodes an enzyme that inactivates the antibiotic. Thus‚ transformed E. coli cells containing ampicillin-resistance
