Observe Ligand Protein Interaction using Gel Filtration (Phenol Red Binding to Serum Albumin) Introduction: Serum albumin is often known as blood albumin, it is the most abundant plasma protein in humans and other mammals. Serum albumin is essential for maintaining the osmotic pressure that is needed for distribution of body fluids between body tissues and intravascular compartments. It is also a carrier protein by non specifically binding several biomolecules. Ligand is a molecule can bind…

Observe Ligand-Protein Interaction using Gel Filtration Chromatography (Phenol Red Binding to Bovine Serum Albumin) Introduction: Serum albumin is often known as blood albumin, and is the most abundant protein in humans and other animal plasma. Serum albumin is also known as a carrier protein by non-specifically binding several biomolecules. It is essential for maintaining the osmotic pressure that is needed for body fluids distribution between body tissues and intravascular compartments.…

onto the color development solution, which contains the antibody. The antibody is linked to a reporter enzyme that produce color, purple in this case, which allows the antibody to be easily detected. The purpose of this experiment is to identify albumin, transferrin and gamma globulins in serum and the distance that separate the two species on the evolutionary tree based on the intensity of the purple…

Kombucha treatment to diabetic rats caused a remarkable improvement of biochemical alterations and noticeable elevation in the plasma total protein and albumin levels. Kombucha is rich in flavonoids. These improvements may be due to the synergistic action of flavonoids (Modi et al., 2006; Latha et al., 2004; Mohamed et al., 2000). It has been also established that insulin stimulates the protein synthesis…

The purpose of this experiment was to examine the effects of different types of enzymes on different substrates, and how pH influences the ability of enzymes to breakdown proteins. Starch and albumin were used as the substrate to test the enzymes amylase, pepsin, trypsin, and unknown enzyme T. Lugol’s solution was used to test for the presence of undigested starch, while Biuret solution and Ninhydrin solution were used to test for the presence of undigested protein and amino acids respectively.…

bands observed in the gel correspond to the gamma globulin, albumin, transferrin and alpha 1 and alpha 2. Column 2 serum albumin with a low pI (4.7) was observed to have the highest movement in the gel due to its high attraction to the positive charge in the electrophoresis. Column 3 shows the lowest movement due to is low pI, having a slow mobility in the gel. Conclusion:…

Inflammation is an essential part and highly regulated response to injury that promotes healing and provides protection against infection. Inflammation is frequently painful and hot, which can be easily controlled by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. In 2012, 98 million NSAIDs were prescribed in the U.S. (“Treating Osteoarthritis and Pain” www.consumerreports.com) NSAIDs are commonly used to treat pain and reduce fever and inflammation by reducing the amount of prostaglandins the body makes.…

nothing will move across the membrane because NaCl, urea, albumin and glucose are all too big to go through the semi-permeable membrane. Facilitated diffusion is movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration with the help of a carrier protein channel.…

liver to underproduce albumin proteins. This lowers osmotic pressure in the vasculature, enhancing filtration out of the capillaries. The cumulative effect is fluid leaking and accumulating…

reduce further renal dysfunction in patient BB, the physician should implement the following recommendations of evidence-based guidelines. Intravenous albumin (1.5 g/kg within 6 hours of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) diagnosis and 1 g/kg on day 3) should be given along with intravenous antibiotics. Multiple studies have shown IV albumin effective in decreasing the incidence of renal dysfunction from 33% to 10% and mortality from 29% to 10% and is especially beneficial for patients with…
