Factor V Leiden (FVL) is a condition in which the individual has a greater risk of developing clots within the blood vessels (thrombosis) due to inability to deactivate clotting factor V.  It is caused due to a change or mutation in the gene responsible for expressing Factor V.  The mutation is known as ‘prothrombin 20210’…

Prion diseases or catching spongiform brain disorder ‘s can be inheritable and catching, the most common characteristic of a prion disease is the posttranslational transition of the prion protein PrPc to the ‘scrapie ‘ isoform of prion protein PrPsc ( Hur et al, 2007 ) . Prion extension involves the mechanism which converts PrPc to…

The western smudge is one of the most utilised techniques in molecular biological science for observing a protein among assorted tissue, such as in works cell infusions. The procedure is comparatively simple and inexpensive to run, and has provided back uping grounds for the function of specific proteins during works reproduction mechanisms. The name western…

EXPERIMENT Proteins – polypeptides compose of > 50 amino acids Enzymes or subunits of enzymes-enhancing the rates of reactions Structural or Mechanical roles Immune response roles Storage and transport of substances Source of amino acids for organisms that cannot synthesize amino acids naturally PURiFICATION Column chromatography Density gradient centrifugation Electrophoresis enzymatic digestion PROTEIN STRUCTURES Fibrous…

Using your cognition on modern cell theory and cellular maps, depict how a bacterial cell can be considered as the basic structural and functional unit of life In 1938-1939 Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schuwann inductive logical thinking to reason that all workss and animate beings consist of cells. Subsequently, Rudolf Verchow observed cells spliting and…

The intent of this experiment is to seperate atoms as complex and the other little 1s by assisting gel exlusion chromotography and calculate affinity as a per centum. Theory Gel filtration chromatography is a method for dividing proteins and peptides based on their size.The chromatographic matrix consists of porous beads, and the size of the…

The cell is the smallest living unit in the human body, and all cells need specific parts to function. Some of these cell parts are called organelles. The outer wall of an animal cell is called the cell membrane. It is called membrane because it allows certain materials to pass through in or out of…

The InterviewFor my interview, I interviewed Jennifer Wong, a scientist in the development of analytic chemistry. In her occupation she purifies and analyzes proteins, as well as characterizes the proteins. She works for Panox located at 10301 Stellink Houston, TX 77025. For this company Dr. Wong analyzes proteins in order for her company to market…

Does the PH level of acids in our stomach affect the digestion proteins? Yes, if the acidity in my/a stomach is high in terms of the PH balance then the proteins in our stomach will be digested faster because acids are known to breakdown and eat away at many objects. The purpose of this project…

Biological molecules such as carbohydrates and proteins are often polymers and are based on a small umber of chemical elements.  Proteins have a variety of functions within all living organisms. The general structure of an amino acid. Condensation and the formation of peptide bonds linking together amino acids to form polypeptides. The relationship between primary,…
