AP Biology 6th Mr.Scofield Blast Lab Background: Between 1990–2003‚ scientists working on an international research project known as the Human Genome Project were able to identify and map the 20‚000–25‚000 genes that define a human being. The project also successfully mapped the genomes of other species‚ including the fruit fly‚ mouse‚ and Escherichia coli. The location and complete sequence of the genes in each of these species are available for anyone in the world

The Virtual Lab – ELISA Test Lab: Immunology 09/04/2013 Instructors: Dr. Charlie Wilson Written by: Dipen Patel I. Objective: The purpose of the lab was to learn the procedure of performing an ELISA test to determine whether a particular antibody is present in a patient’s blood sample. ELISA is an abbreviation for “Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay." II. Introduction: The interaction of antigen and antibody outside the body can be used to determine if patient

Environment Can Effect Enzymes Introduction: In a chemical reaction there sometimes can be a catalyst present known as an enzyme. An enzyme is a protein that speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the amount of activation energy required to start the reaction. By lowering the activation energy‚ more of the substrate is able to participate in the reaction‚ speeding it up. Enzymes are substrate specific. The substrate is what the enzyme bonds to. That is to say that enzyme A will only react with

Potato Catalysis Lab Pre-Lab Assignment Background Information: An enzyme is catalytic protein. It is the most important type of molecule found in living cells. Cells would not be able to function without enzymes. Enzymes speed up or slow down chemical reactions of the cells. It is usually easy to identify the names of enzymes because they end in -ase. The enzyme that acts upon the substrate hydrogen peroxide is usually called catalase. This enzyme is found in both plants and animals
