OBSERVATION OF BACTERIAL CELLS VIA MICROSCOPE In this experiment‚ we have learned several basic molecular biology techniques. Here they are; Simple staining: Only one type of dye used for simple staining and it stains all cells the same color. Creating contrast between cell and background to observe cell morphology is aimed. Differential staining: A differential stain uses more than one dye and stains different kinds of organism with different colors. Positive staining: If cell itself is stained

The explosion of molecular biology techniques that began in the mid-1970s (and continues today) has provided tools to examine the physical structure of DNA‚ its nucleotide sequence and how genes are read and regulated. One key tool is the ability to visualize DNA molecules and determine their length by using a technique called gel electrophoresis. Introduction to gel electrophoresis In gel electrophoresis‚ DNA fragments move through a porous matrix made of agarose‚ a gelatin-like substance

How the future will be different from the present? “Science…! It is not in a human capacity to escape science. You simply cannot escape science. This is the scientific age.” This is a quote of a Nobel laureate in Physics Mohammad Abdus Salam (1926-1996). It seems that he was right in his say. This IT equipped era has plunged in to the ocean of evolution everyday. However‚ where science has blessed us with such ease in life‚ it has also snatched the serenity and calmness from the lives of common

Separation of Proteins and Mass Analysis Using SDS PAGE Biology 00-01L Abstract This experiment consisted of separating proteins into polypeptides using a method called SDS PAGE which is a type of electrophoresis. The polypeptides had different masses‚ so each polypeptide traveled a different distance and this was an essential part of the lab which demonstrated that there exists a relationship between the distance traveled by the protein and the mass of the protein. This relationship was graphed

environment to study how they work. In turn this has provided us with information about different viruses and how to create vaccines for these. 4. The Invention of the electron microscope occurred in 1931. The electron microscope is used to see molecular levels of the cell that cannot be seen by the naked eye. This has helped us drastically improve our understanding of cells. 5. The discovery of the mechanisms of light-independent reactions of photosynthesis was discovered in 1953. This discovery

Comparative Proteomics: Protein Profiler Lab by Jonathan Thulson Biology 113 October 6‚ 2013 Lab Partner: Vernon Morris INTRODUCTION Proteomics is the study of proteins. Their functions‚ interactions with other proteins‚ cellular locations and levels at which they are expressed. The purpose of this lab was to compare the proteins present in different species of fish to be able to determine which species of fish have the closest relation. This can be determined based on which

Chain Reaction (PCR)‚ discovered by Kary Mullis‚ has had an extraordinary impact on various aspects of biotechnology. PCR has revolutionized research and diagnostics-based molecular biology. PCR is a simple‚ accurate‚ and highly reproducible procedure. The technology introduced an important advantage to molecular biology. It provides the ability to start with a small amount of DNA and to be able to amplify it so that there will be a sufficient

[LIVMFAP] - [GAD] [2-8]. The heme is used to oxidize drugs by adding a hydroxyl group to these substances‚ often as a way to rid the body of potentially harmful toxins in order to make them more water-soluble. They do this by inserting one atom of molecular dioxygen into an organic substrate (RH) while the second oxygen atom is reduced to water (RH+02 + 2e- → ROH + H20). CYP catalysis substrate binding to the heme site requires a two-electron transfer with NADH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (CPR) to
