Proteins in cells are important in many ways. There are different types of proteins such as contractile proteins, enzymes, hormonal proteins, structural proteins and transport proteins. They are vital to regular cell functioning. Proteins are made up of amino acids that are joined together by peptide bonds. When fewer than 50 amino acids are joined together, a polypeptide is formed. All proteins have two groups in common. They have a carboxylic group and an amino group. There are 20 types of amino acids that bond together in different combinations to perform different functions. The primary structure of proteins is the order and number of amino acids. Secondary, tertiary and quarternary structures are formed from chains of peptides that are folded into sheets, ribbons and coils so that they form a 3D shape and are more stable. Different weights of amino acid make them differ in polarity. This characteristic enables the separation of proteins by polarity using chromatography. Paper chromatography is an example of a chromatography technique called absorption chromatography. The paper is the adsorbent, which will bind the components of the mixture. The substance will be “spotted” onto the chromatography paper and put into a beaker filled with solvent. The solvent will then flow through the paper. The solvent chosen depends highly on its polarity as this will be the characteristic that will separate the different substances. Petroleum, ether, hexanes, cyclohexanes and toluene are some examples of solvents with different polarities as well as increasing polarities.…

Proteins are condensation polymers composed of 20 different alpha amino acids. Alpha amino acids are composed of a carboxyl group, an amino group, a hydrogen atom and a distinctive R group attached to an alpha carbon. This carbon is so named because it is adjacent to a carboxylic group. Of the 20 standard amino acids, the one exception to this general structure is proline, which has a…

FOOD NUTRITION BASICS LABORATORY REPORT LAB 3 PROTEINS DUE DATE Next FNB Practical NAME (CAPITALS) ______________________________GROUP LETTER___________ This work is the product of my own efforts and has not been copied from any other sources except where full acknowledgement has been given. Signed________________________________________ Student No._____________ Introduction The principle involved in this experiment is denaturation. It involves loss of ordered structure and can be caused by changes in pH value, salt concentration, surface effects or temperature. Denaturation occurs because the bonding interactions responsible for the secondary structure and tertiary structure are disrupted. In tertiary structure there are four types of bonding interactions between side chains including hydrogen bonding, salt bridges, disulfide bonds, and non-polar hydrophobic interactions. which may be disrupted. Therefore, a variety of reagents and conditions can cause denaturation. The most common observation in the denaturation process is the precipitation or coagulation of the protein. A. Denaturation of egg white. Result TubeContentsObservationsAwhite placed in water bath at 60C.Bwhite placed in water bath at 80C.-When the solution boiled on 3.30 minutes,the colour changes in yellow to white. -Boiled on 6.30 minutes, it becomes thick -Boiled on 11.11,it appeared some solid.CAdd 4 dropwise 1M Acetic acid in egg white.-The colour becomes creamy. -lump and white precipitates can be observed.DAdd 51 dropwise 5M NaCl in egg white.-The solution becomes cleanlyEAdd an equal volume of distilled water in egg white.-No observation change. -The egg white with distilled water just separated. Discussion In this experiment, by the differences of temperature, acid and NaCl, egg white will denature in such situation. The result shows that as temperature rises, the molecules have more kinetic energy. They vibrate more rapidly and collide with each other more frequently. Therefore from…
Proteins are polymers of amino acids. A typical protein may be composed of hundreds of amino acids. They are held in their native or natural confirmations by a combination of forces: hydrogen bonds, salt bridges (also called ionic interactions), disulfide bridges, and hydrophobic interactions. Changing the conformation of a protein by disrupting these forces is called denaturation (Willbrand, n.d.). According to Ophardt (2003), denaturation of proteins involves the disruption and destruction of the bonding interactions responsible for the secondary and tertiary structure. A variety of reagents and conditions can cause denaturation. In this experiment,…

In a typical adhesive, like liquid glue, monomer molecules and a stabilizer are in a solvent. The stabilizer discontinues the monomers from making a solid polymer. Interaction with the water in the air and on the surfaces being combined together by the glue lets the stabilizer become inactive. This lets the monomers merge to generate polymers. As more polymers are formed, the adhesive alternates from a liquid to a solid. Cohesive forces are forces which hold together the…
