The symptoms are not only interesting but extremely fatal. The mad cow is known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (pronounced: BO-vine SPUN-jih-form en-seh-fah-LA-puh-thee)‚ BSE for short. In cattle or different animals the symptoms come slowly. The first symptoms are a change in attitude and activity. The infected animal will begin

Construction of a Standard Curve for the Determination of Protein Concentration 09/13/12 PCB 3023-007 Results Figure1: Standard curve. This graph was constructed from the fixed amounts of Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA). Varying amounts of BSA at a concentration of .5µ/µl were mixed with the water and 1mL of coomassie dye. The equation y=0.0259x +0.0511 represents the best fit line for a data set taken from µg of protein equals two to ten µg. Optical density (OD) was surveyed using a Mach

The fatal disease known as mad cow (bovine spongiform encephalopathy or BSE) has been found in a country’s cattle affect both supply and demand curves. Research indicates that the impact on domestic demand could be small because consumers respond differently to food safety concerns than to long-run health concerns. Research has shown that

To determine protein concentration in apple juice. Introduction What is Bradford protein assay? The 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

Today‚ we know that this disease is a Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) called Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE)‚ better known as mad cow disease. BSE previously originated from another TSE called scrapie. It started when scrapie-infected sheep were put into rendering machines and processed into protein. This protein was later

than crops‚ farm animals are also genetically modified to mature in a shorter time period to minimize expenses and increase profits for farmers‚ as well as to be resistant to certain diseases. For example‚ genetically-modified cow is resistant to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease). One of the examples of increased growth rate in genetically modified animals is fishes including salmon‚ tilapia and carp. One-year-old salmon fish with growth hormone chimeric gene are able to grow as
