Antioxidant Effects on Reactive Oxygen Species Abstract Antioxidants are among key molecules for a healthy living. Antioxidants are molecules that prevent damage of cells through inhibition of oxidizing agents such as free radicals. This experiment was aimed at investigating the role of antioxidant on the inhibition of reactive oxygen species. To demonstrate this‚ quercetin was used as antioxidant and its effect on reactive oxygen species examined. RAW 264.7 cells

HYDROGEN BONDING: Hydrogen bonding is a bonding type consisting of dipole and dispersion forces. A hydrogen bond is the attractive force between a hydrogen atom attached to a molecule and an atom of a different molecule. According to the Pauling scale of electro-negativities of the elements‚ it can be viewed that the three most electronegative elements in the periodical table are nitrogen‚ oxygen and fluorine. These are also called heteroatoms. The heteroatoms have a partial negative charge while

point is 74 - 77° C. It is a stable white crystalline powder‚ slightly soluble in water and very soluble in ethanol. Its formula is also written (CH3)2CHCH2C6H4CH(CH3)COOH‚ which lays out the chemical structure of ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is a chiral molecule‚ meaning that two mirror-image forms (called enantiomers) are possible. In the diagram‚ the wavy line represents a molecular bond that is bent "upward" for so-called (R)-ibuprofen and "downward" for (S)-ibuprofen

report on is oxygen. The name oxygen comes from the Greek word “oxygens‚” which means “acid producer”. Dictionary.com defines oxygen as “a colorless‚ odorless‚ gaseous element constituting about one-fifth of the volume of the atmosphere and present in a combined state in nature.” Oxygen has many uses today. First‚ oxygen is used by people‚ plants‚ and animals in the respiration process. Tanks of oxygen are used in the healthcare field to treat those who suffer from breathing problems. Oxygen is used as

Oxygen cycle From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search The oxygen cycle. The Oxygen cycle is the biogeochemical cycle that describes the movement of oxygen within its three main reservoirs: the atmosphere (air)‚ the total content of biological matter within the biosphere (the global sum of all ecosystems)‚ and the lithosphere (Earth ’s crust). Failures in the oxygen cycle within the hydrosphere (the combined mass of water found on‚ under‚ and over the surface of a planet)

From the graphs‚ it is evident that an increase in both catalase concentration and substrate concentration resulted in a higher rate of reaction or‚ as observed in the kPa graphs‚ a higher volume of O2(g) formed at the end of the 5 minute trial. Interestingly‚ it should also be noted‚ as it was mentioned in the Figure 2‚ that the trend for the 6mL of 3% H2O2(aq) was more of a linear trend than an exponential decay‚ steadily rising until the end of the 5 minute trial. From this‚ it can be inferred

General Biology I Spring Semester 2013 Lab Report Name: Date: 03/20/2013 Lab: # Purpose of this lab: To test for the effects of temperature on catalase activity. Introduction: Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts and help complex reactions to occur everywhere in life. Enzymes affect a chemical reaction by acting as a catalyst‚ which is to say‚ it speeds up the reaction. However‚ extreme ph and temperature hinders enzyme function. Optimal activity of an enzyme
