Chemical Aspects of Digestion In this lab we will focus on the digestive system and the organs and enzymes associated with the breakdown of protein, fat, and starch. We will take a closer look at the specified enzymes and their particular functions and reactions. We...
Advancements in molecular biology could not have occurred without the introduction of Histidine and Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) tagging. These methods aid in protein purification and the understanding of molecular and cellular processes via protein fluorescence tracking respectively. The use of these techniques are extremely...
The removal of misfolded proteins from the ER is a consecutive process that is characterized by the interaction between many proteins in both the ER and the cytoplasm (Needham and Brodsky, 2013). To enter the ERAD pathway, the protein must be exported from the ER...
Introduction: G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) are a well-known broad group of membrane receptors which are among the most significant therapeutic targets. Activation of GPCRs by extracellular stimuli, initiates the signal transduction that eventually leads to the response. Crystal structure of GPCRs by crystallization protocol is...
The experimental techniques for investigating protein-DNA interaction are classified in two forms, i.e. in vitro and in vivo. The studies of in vivo are helpful because of the preservation of the natural structure of interaction sides. However, in multi-proteins, it is hard to figure out...
Power Whey Protein is a specially formulated whey protein blend meant for building lean muscle mass and providing ample protein for more endurance and strength. What are the components of Power Whey Protein and how is it helpful? This whey protein blend contains the following...
Gelatine is a crystal like gel that is tasteless and colourless. It widely use in food industry as gelling agent. In addition, gelatine is a strand that obtains from hydrolysed collagen. It is unique amino acid profile give consumer many health benefits. Mix gelatine with...
Abstract Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) is a unique protein that manifests its uniqueness in its range of absorbance and fluoresces, enabling us to detect the protein. A recombinant form of GFP, rGFP was used in this experiment. The objective of this experiment was to purify...
A human cell contains some hundred thousand totally different proteins. These have various vital functions: as accelerators of chemical reactions within the kind of enzymes, as signal substances within the kind of hormones, as vital actors within the immune defense and by being chargeable for...
Protein Shakes have always been a powerful source of nourishing your body as these contain all the necessary nutrients, which otherwise are hard to obtain from food. But which protein shakes are the best for you? This is a very important question asked by many...
The primary structure of a protein refers to the sequence of amino acids within the peptide chain. the first structure is held along by peptide bonds that are created throughout the method of protein biosynthesis. the first structure of a protein is decided by the...
Proteins are chains of amino acids that fold into three-dimensional shapes. The shape of the protein is very important to its function and the three-dimensional structure is specified by an amino acid sequence. Protein structure has 4 levels of organisation known as primary, secondary, tertiary...
In “Tastes Like Chicken,” Jacob Bunge talks about the emerging of protein of the masses on breeding chicken. Jacob Bunge thinks that the chicken is going to be the “protein of the masses,” because to start off, there is supposed to be 2.4 billion additional...
Men have ruled the fitness industry for a very long time. It is not shocking to see women giving an equal competition to men in the Fitness Industry. They are also looking for a perfect body thus hitting the gym every day. We all know...
Proteins are formed when amino acids join through peptide bonds, which is why they are also called polypeptides. The peptide bonds between the amino acids are formed by a process called dehydration synthesis. The conformation of a protein is dependent upon physical and chemical conditions...
The most accurate method of determining protein concentration is probably acid hydrolysis followed by amino acid analysis. Most other methods are sensitive to the amino acid composition of the protein, and absolute concentrations cannot be obtained (1). The procedure of Lowry et al. (2) is...
Investigative question My investigative question is that if with the same regimen and diet, which gyming supplement would benefit the user in terms of muscle mass gain and body fat percentage after a month. Research hypothesis I hypothesize that the subjects that use whey protein...
The cell membrane The cell membrane is a thin semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm of the cell. Its function is to act a barrier that separate’s a cell from its surrounding environment which protects the integrity by allowing certain substances into the cell, while...
Lactic acid is produced when glucose is broken down and oxidized. During intense exercise when oxygen levels are lower, more lactic acid is made, which produce hydrogen ions and a burning sensation in muscles while they’re active. However, on-going soreness in the days following an...
