Buffers‚ and pH‚ and Diffusion oh my The pH of a solution is the measure of the concentration of charged Hydrogen ions in that given solution. A solution with a pH lower than seven is considered to be acidic. A solution with a higher pH is a base. It is very important for organisms to maintain a stable pH. Biological molecules such as proteins function only at a certain pH level and any changes in pH can result in them not functioning properly. To maintain these constant pH levels‚ buffer solutions

EXERCISE 3: DIFFERENTIAL PROTEIN PRECIPITATION Vanessa Andrea Estepa University of Mindanao‚ College of Science and Mathematics ABSTRACT: Denaturation is the disruption in the original conformation of the protein wherein the secondary‚ tertiary and quaternary structures are all affected. Denaturation is brought about by various kinds of physical and chemical means; this includes the addition of strong acids‚ heavy metal cations‚ alkaloidal reagents‚ salting out and addition of organic solvents.

Abstract The experiment‚ entitled Extraction and Characterization of Proteins‚ aims to isolate casein from milk and albumin from egg; to explain the methods employed for protein extraction; to apply spectrophotometric methods in characterizing and quantifying extracted casein and albumin. The experiment was divided into 2 parts; the extraction of Albumin from egg and the determination of protein concentration via the Warburg-Christian method and Bradford Assay method. In the first part‚ egg

Fluids The amount of fluids in the body is extremely large. There are many different forms of fluid throughout the body‚ such as blood‚ urine‚ hormones‚ cerebral spinal fluid‚ water‚ albumin‚ and bile. The fluids that make up the body are required for homeostasis. There are many different functions of body fluids such as transporting nutrients‚ waste and gases‚ transforming food into energy and generate electrical activity to power body functions. Physiologic Fluid Compartments The major fluid

Introduction When using different methods to measure pH levels there are some tools that can be useful. Some more than others but by putting into action the different methods it may determine which tools will work best and give the best results when testing the pH within a solution. The pH‚ which stands for the proportion of hydrogen ions in a solution‚ could be acidic (acidosis)‚ neutral or basic (alkaline). The pH scale goes from numbers 1 through 14. A pH of 7 is neutral; meaning the amount of hydrogen
