necessary reaction schemes. The reaction schemes should include molecular weights and any other important physical data for the reagents and products. Ex. Cyclohexanol was oxidized to cyclohexanone using sodium dichromate in the presence of sulfuric acid. * Note: you can download a free version of a structure editor from ACD labs‚ the PC version is called chemsketch‚ the Mac version is called marvinsketch. You should learn how to draw structures using these programs. Lab reports should look professional

Structures‚ Biosynthesis and Biofunctions of Iron-sulfer proteins Yiming Chen‚ Brown University‚ May 11th‚ 2011 I. Introduction Iron-sulfur proteins are the proteins which contain iron-sulfur clusters‚ like sulfide-linked di-‚ tri-‚ and tetrairon centers with various oxidative states 1. An excess of 120 distinct types of enzymes and proteins are known to contain Fe-S clusters2. Iron-sulfur proteins are known for the role of the oxidation-reduction reactions of mitochondrial electron transportation

Aspirin analysis Introduction Aspirin‚ which is also known as acetylsalicylic acid. C9H8O4 is the chemical format for Asprin. The chemical structure of aspirin: Aspirin is anti-inflammatory. Aspirin is prepared by chemical synthesis from salicylic acid‚ by acetylation with acetic anhydride. The fact that it is an acid allows us to quantify the amount of aspirin in a solution. We would do this by by using an acid-base titration. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) will be used In this experiment as the

Ricin is a toxic protein found in castor oil plant seeds. The toxicity of Ricin has been known for centuries and was even used by the KGB government to assassinate Georgi Markov‚ a famous journalist who openly criticized the Soviet Union’s communist regime. The toxicity of ricin is caused by its ability to deactivate ribosomes and halt protein synthesis. Therefore‚ Ricin is categorized as a ribosome inactivating protein (RIP). There are two types of RIPs: type I and type II. Type I RIPs are usually

type of oil in our cooking. Fats and oils (lipids) are hydrophobic organic compounds‚ which are formed as a result of triesters of glycerol and three fatty acid chains (carboxylic-acids). These undergo a condensation reaction to form a triglyceride-molecule and the by-product‚ three molecules of water [1]. The general structure of triglyceride can be presented below: Where R‚ R’ and R’’ represent particular carbon fatty acid chains. The fatty acid composition is the most important characteristic

Acid Base And Salt Acid Acids:- The word ‘Acid’ came from Latin word ‘Acidus or Acere’ which means sour. Sour taste is the most common characteristic of acid. Acid turns blue litmus paper red. There are many substances which contain acid and hence taste sour‚ such as curd‚ tamarind‚ lemon‚ etc. Types of Acids:- Acids are divided into two types on the basis of their occurrence – Natural acids and Mineral acids. Natural Acid:- Acids which are obtained from natural sources are called natural

Nitric Acid Nitric acid is an acid many people have come across in life. One may have felt nitric acid when touching fertilizers‚ or using dyes. Nitric acid appears in substances we never thing it would be used in. In fact‚ small contents of nitric is acid is found in raindrops that fall from the sky. Nitric acid‚ or known as NHO3aq is an acid formed from reaction of ammonia and oxygen. Nitric acid is a colourless acid when it’s pure‚ or can be found yellow or red. This acid can be very corrosive

Determination of Protein Content Using Kjedahl and Titration 2.0 Introduction Proteins are polymers. They are the source of dietary amino acids and are used for growth and maintenance of living systems. They are costlier sources of energy compared to carbohydrates and fats and hence the human body utilizes proteins mainly for biosynthesis rather than as an energy source‚ though the energy yield is 5 kcal/g of protein. Twenty different types of amino acids occur naturally in proteins. Proteins differ

form of a hydrogen ion. This is what we call the Bronsted-Lowry definition of an acid‚ which is the main focus of this lesson. !!!What is a Bronsted-Lowry Acid? What makes a solution an acid? There are different definitions proposed by different scientists about what makes an acidic solution. Particularly‚ there were two scientists who independently proposed essentially the same theory about the definition of acids and bases. In 1923‚ Johannes Nicolaus Bronsted and Thomas Martin Lowry‚ from Denmark
