    consisting of amino acids are an essential component of life. Ribosomes are responsible for assembling these very important structures. On the other hand‚ ricin inhibits protein synthesis (Krieger 2010). Relatively comparing‚ a dose the size of a few tablespoons can kill a human (Krieger 2010). Thus‚ ricin can be considered detrimental to life. With ricin and ribosome being polar opposite‚ scientists try to apply the ricin’s capabilities in a positive direction. Ricin’s ability to disrupt amino acids chains

    PRODUCTION OF CITRIC ACID Introduction: Citric acid is a White solid‚C3H4OH(COOH)3‚soluble in water and slightly soluble in organic solvents‚ which melts at 153 oC. Aqueous solutions of citric acid are slightly more acidic than solutions of acetic acid. Traces of citric acid are found in numerous plants and animals‚ because it is a nearly universal intermediate product of metabolism. Large amount of the acid are found in the juice of citrus fruits‚ from which it is precipitated by the

    Lewis Acids and BasesLewis acids and bases play an important role in chemical reactions because‚ except oxidation-reduction reactions‚ almost every reaction could be categorized as an acid-base reaction. Bases in water solutions show certain specific characteristics: bitter taste‚ feel slippery‚ and turn litmus paper blue. Acids in water solutions show these most common characteristics: sour taste‚ react with metals‚ and turn litmus paper red. The understanding of chemical reactions‚ such as acid

    What is acid rain? Rainfall made sufficiently acidic by atmospheric pollution that it causes environmental harm‚ typically to forests and lakes. What chemicals make rain acidic‚ and how does it happen? Besides water‚ and carbonic acid (from carbon dioxide dissolved in the rain droplets)‚ the primary components of acid rain are sulfuric acid‚ which comes from sulfur dioxide derived from the burning of coal‚ and nitric acid‚ which from nitrogen emissions. Where do these chemical come from?
