Introduction In this lab‚ caproic acid was synthesized in a multi-step process that involved the synthesis of three intermediates – diethyl n-butylmalonate‚ potassium n-butylmalonate‚ and n-butyl malonic acid respectively. An IR was used to characterize the starting material‚ n-bromobutane‚ and the first intermediate‚ diethyl n-butylmalonate; while IR and NMR were used to characterize the final product‚ caproic acid. Reactions‚ Mechanism and Theory Caproic acid a.k.a n-hexanoic acid is a carboxylic

Protein Synthesis Notes If DNA’s shape is altered it can’t function properly. RNA is more flexible so changing the shape changes the function‚ which is wanted. Any shape of RNA can become another. Three shapes/functions of RNA: -mRNA: messenger (linear_____) -rRNA: ribosomal (large and like a globe) More stable than mRNA. -tRNA: transfer (shaped like t) If you flatten this it becomes mRNA. Hydrogen Bonds ………………………………. Protein Synthesis Overview- Two Processes: Transcription- synthesis of mRNA

Introduction Most people say that looking in the past you can see the future‚ with economics this is true. With the economy in the state that it is in‚ people will be wondering what they should do and more importantly not do. At the Bank of Green we strive to be the best at what we do and many have voiced their uncertainty about the economy and where it is headed. This report will show you what is happening in the economy and what will most likely happen this coming year. The Federal Reserve

As children we don’t really pay too much attention to them other than climbing them‚ or finding ways to swing from them like a monkey. The thing that most of us don’t realize is how vital trees are to our lives‚ our water‚ to our soil‚ to our air‚ and to our atmosphere. Over the years the amount of trees in

The pride that a usual American holds within themselves is the reason why the The United States continues to flourished rather then to terminate all the advancements. The smelly‚ bent‚ copper penny is one of those present reminders of the path and transition the nation had to go through in order to get to the

The main goal of this experiment was to successfully clone human insulin cDNA into an expression vector. The gel electrophoresis results confirm that the inserts were successfully cloned into the expression vector based on the identical fragment position of each cut candidate in the gel. The fragment sizes of the both cut candidates produced on the gel when compared to the DNA ladder were larger‚ at roughly about 6000 base pairs and 6800 base pairs‚ than the predicted size of 2315 and 3119 base pairs

Secondary excitotoxicity is thought to be more relevant to chronic neurodegenerative disorders than the classical acute form. In this pathway increased glutamate levels are not required as disturbances with the neuronal resting membrane potential cause glutamate receptors to be over-activated by physiological levels of glutamate. In a neuron which is affected by another pathological process and shows reduced ATP production‚ Na+ dysfunction or impaired glucose metabolism and as a result has an abnormal
