amount of protein‚ and percent yield and an increasing trend for specific activity and fold purification. These trends come about naturally when performing multiple purification steps. To determine the success of each purification step‚ the more important factors to look at are the total activity units‚ total protein amount‚ and percent yield. Looking at our purification table (table 7) our purifications were not very successful. While our total protein followed the normal decreasing trend‚ as

The purpose of module E is to learn several DNA techniques in the lab including DNA purification with solubility and absorption‚ plasmid transfection of E.coli‚ colony screening by PCR and quantitative PCR. First part of the experiment E1 show the purification method of DNA through solubility. E. coli lysate mixed organic solvents to purify the DNA present in solution. First‚ the lysate was mixed with phenol/chloroform‚ then vortexed‚ and centrifuged. We extracted the aqueous layer and combined

PURIFICATION OF LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE FROM CHICKEN MUSCLE TISSUE Abstract The enzyme lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) catalyzes the last step of anaerobic glycolysis that is important for the normal function of the body. Purification of LDH is essential to understand its structure and function. The purpose of this experiment was to extract and purify LDH enzyme from chicken muscle tissue using a variety of various. Analytical methods such as activity and protein assay were employed to determine

The Purity and Purification of Solids Recrystallization ABSTRACT In this experiment‚ impure adipic acid is purified though recrystallization. The impure adipic acid is dissolved in a solvent. After cooling it is ran through a vacuum filter to separate any moisture. The dry crystals are then weight for percent yield and the melting point range is taken to test the purity. There were two different trials ran in this experiment. The difference between the two was the addition of charcoal in

What is water purification? Water purification generally means freeing water from any kind of impurity it contains‚ such as contaminants or micro organisms. Water purification is not a very one-sided process; the purification process contains many steps. The steps that need to be progressed depend on the kind of impurities that are found in the water. This can differ very much for different types of water. In which ways is polluted water treated? Settling Before the purification process begins some

DNA extraction and purification is an essential tool in understanding the biological basis and significance of a eukaryotic cell. Its role is pivotal to numerous scientific applications ranging from basic science research to applied research. Hence‚ DNA is found in all living organisms. Fragaria x ananassa‚ also known as a strawberry has been widely used as one of the many biological models in studying DNA structures due to its accessibility. Strawberries are octoploid which contain large genomes

Purification of Water Domestic: Distillation - In the process of distillation water is heated and evaporation takes place‚ whereby water changes back to water when cooled; this process is called condensation. The condensed water is the purest form of water‚ free from microbes‚ and impurities. Boiling - Boiling is the best and simplest method to purify water. After straining the water twice through clean muslin cloth‚ it is boiled for ten minutes lo kill the microbes present in it and also remove

The Purity and Purification of Solids Melting Point Lab Introduction: The point of this lab was to determine the eutectic point for the naphthalene biphenyl mixture‚ as well as determining the melting point of an unknown substance by comparing it with two known samples. Melting point is a temperature in which a substance changes from solid state to liquid state. Melting points are used to determine whether the given substance is pure or not. Substances that melt sharply‚ less than 1-2°C indicates
