many vital life functions. The primary functions of the liver are: Bile productions and excretion. Excretion of bilirubin‚ cholesterol‚ hormones‚ and drugs. Metabolism of fats‚ proteins‚ and carbohydrates. Enzyme activation. Storage of glycogen‚ vitamins‚ and minerals. Synthesis of plasma proteins‚ such as albumin‚ and clotting factors. And blood detoxification and purification. The liver is the body’s energy factory. Most of the sugar you eat is turned into chemicals that can be used by

were investigated to make a covalent binding between the iron oxide magnetic core and the immobilized enzyme. Immobilization using chitosan and glutaraldehyde show the best result. Finally the immobilization efficiency was tested by determination of protein concentration in a solution before and after mixing with the magnetic nanoparticles. Introduction In the last two decades‚ new terms with the prefix `nano’ have rushed into the scientific vocabulary; nanoparticle‚ nanostructure‚ nanotechnology

Diffusion and Osmosis Experiment Methods/Materials: 7.1 Experiment: Rate of Diffusion of Solutes In the initial set up of this experiment I had 2 sets of 3 screw-cap test tubes that had each been half-filled with 5% gelatin and 1-mL of the correct dye (either potassium dichromate‚ aniline blue‚ or Janus green) in each of the test tubes. I labeled the 3 test tubes of set 1 with which die they contained and marked them “5 ˚C”. Then with the other set I did the same exact thing‚ except I labeled

The primary antibody recognizes a specific amino-acid sequence of a particular protein. In this case‚ the antibody was anti-cow albumin. Then‚ it was incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes. After incubated‚ it was rinsed with TBS +NP 40 1x for 4 times. Each time was 5 minutes. This step was to wash the unbound antibodies. Then‚ it was rinsed two times with TBS 1x

We were able to determine this by the presence of simple sugar‚ protein and lipids which are all found in a typical meal at Buffalo Wild Wings. The way we could so easily determine this is through the standards we have established so we were able to compare our mystery meal substance to a constant. Even though we did

Protein purification From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation‚ search Protein purification is a series of processes intended to isolate a single type of protein from a complex mixture. Protein purification is vital for the characterization of the function‚ structure and interactions of the protein of interest. The starting material is usually a biological tissue or a microbial culture. The various steps in the purification process may free the protein from a matrix that confines

bound of BSA-PR at pH 4 (61.543%) was highest compare to other pH. pH 6 has the percent bound of 3.569%‚ pH 8 has the percent bound of 2.330%‚ and pH 10 has the percent bound of 2.309%. pH 6‚ 8‚ and 10 do not have an optimal binding for bovine serum albumin and phenol red because they have very low percent bound (refer to table 1)‚ mostly is the free phenol red. Therefore it matches with the prediction. Moreover‚ there were 2 peaks presented when graphing. Based on the order of elution‚ the first peak
