Protein Essay- Erin Keegan What are proteins? A polypeptide is a chain of monomers joined up to make a polymer. Proteins are organic polypeptides made up of a chain of amino acid residues- they’re residues because they lose a water molecule. The amino acids (monomers) join up by forming peptide bonds. When two amino acids join together‚ they become a dipeptide. This happens when the carboxyl group of an amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid link up through a condensation reaction (which

Osmosis is the diffusion of a solvent across a selectively permeable membrane that occurs in response to differences in solute concentrations (Allen and Harper 2014).Osmosis can fall under the category of passive transport which does not require energy. With osmosis being a type of diffusion it is viewed as molecules moving from a high concentration to a low concentration. To further explain if there is a low water concentration‚ high amounts of solutes will be present. Water will most likely move

solution called silver nitrate we could test whether or not salt was present in the urine. If the urine turned a cloudy white after adding the silver nitrate the urine had a high concentration of salt. To test for amino acid we used a chemical called biuret solution. If the urine turned the color purple it means that there was excess amino acid found in the urine. We then used a glucose test strip to test if the urine had glucose in it. If the strip turned a different color it meant that glucose was

Bradford protein assay is a spectroscopic analytical procedure used to measure the concentration of protein in a solution [1]. There are several reagents that can be used to determine the concentration of protein in solution which are Bradford reagent‚ Biuret reagent‚ Lowry protein assay and many more. In this experiment‚ the Bradford Reagent is used to measure the protein concentration. Marion M. Bradford had developed the Bradford protein assay. The Bradford assay is a colorimetric assay based on the

How the structure of proteins are related to their functions Rachel Morris The basic building blocks of proteins are amino acids‚ the biuret reaction tests for protein. A solution of sodium hydroxide is added to a sample then a few drops of copper sulphate solution‚ if positive – the solution will turn mauve. There are 20 different amino acids and they can be joined in any order. Therefore there can be many different functions. A protein consists of one or more polypeptide chains (a polypeptide

ups Identifying food groups in unknown solutions Aim The aim of this experiment is to identify different food groups within several different unknown solutions. This will be carried out by placing the unknown solutions into separate test tubes and using different chemical indicators to see if any reactions occur. Each food group will act different when the chemical indicator is added‚ some will change colour while others will separate. Introduction Food is a vital source of energy that is
