    Sweta Soni 2/22/15 Biochem Lab Experiment 5 Introduction The purpose of Experiment 5-1 is to separate a mixture of three molecules—blue dextran, cytochrome c, and potassium chromate—through the use of gel-filtration chromatography. The volume at which each molecule elutes will be recorded in order to determine the accuracy of separation. The purpose of Experiment 5-2 is to purify the E. coli enzyme, β-Galactosidase through the use of affinity chromatography on P-aminobenzyl-1-thio-β-D-galactopyranoside agarose, which is a good substrate for the enzyme.…

    DNA analysis by By Condy Kan Introduction Osamu Shimomura and his colleagues successfully discovered and isolated green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria; GFP consists of a tripeptide, which is Ser-65, Tyr-66, and Gly-67, that forms fluorescence chromophore (1). Fluorescence chromophore, is accountable for its green fluorescence under UV light, helps to identify and determine the cells if the Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP) gene is expressed or not (2). In addition, Isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) is an effective inducer for bacteria E. coli since it binds to lac repressor of the EGFP gene and the lac operator activates T7 promoter that promotes the transcription of EGFP gene (3). EGFP is…

    Intro Rubisco is the most abundant protein on earth and is found in plants to aid the process of carbon fixation. Isolation of Rubisco from a mixture of protein allows it to perform at its optimal level because it has the highest purity. The three techniques used in this lab are salting out, Ion exchange, and SDS-page. After the last technique is carried out, Rubisco is in its purest form since purity is enhanced with each subsequent technique.…

Why waste an animal’s life just to see if your test is right or not. If you do a test try to do it another way. When they test them the animals they will have gashes and cuts on them,they will even put metal rods in the animal’s head.…

    Most amino acids are encoded by more than one codon. There are 64 total codons, three of which are stop codons, with 61 of the codons coding for 20 different amino acids. These codons, however, are not used equally. Codon Bias is defined as the deviation from equal usage of synonymous codons. Studies by Jan C. Biro found that the number of synonymous codons shows a significant correlation with the frequency of their respective amino acids.…

    Introduction When observing a human population there are many phenotypical differences such as; behavior, development, and morphology. Not only are there phenotypical differences amongst a human population, but there are also genotypic differences that can be observed using DNA sequencing data. One way to observe genetic variation amongst humans would be to sequence the Mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA). Mitochondrial DNA is the most commonly used DNA to form phylogenetic trees. Human Mitochondrial DNA is about 16,500 bps in size and consists of 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNAs (transfer RNA), and 2 rRNAs (ribosomal RNA) (Ingman, 2001).…

    Purpose: The overall goal of this lab was to perform a procedure on E. Coli which involved transferring genes that encoded for the green fluorescent protein into E. Coli to see if the transferred genes would make a difference on the growth and whether or not the bacteria would glow under UV light. Hypothesis: If the bacteria with the pGLO plasmid was grown on a plate containing LB and ampicillin then the bacteria will grow but not glow under UV light. If the bacteria with the pGLO plasmid was grown on a plate containing LB, ampicillin, and arabinose then it will be able to grow and glow under UV light. If the bacteria without pGLO plasmid was grown on a plate containing LB and ampicillin then it will not be able to grow or glow under UV light.…

    In this experiment, a SDS-PAGE gel was used to analyze the protein samples from the MBP-AP and WT-AP experiments. The samples are then referenced to the ladder to determine the molecular weight of the MBP-AP and WT-AP proteins. Then the UV absorbance of the two proteins from 240 nm to 340 nm is determined using a nanovolume cuvette. The absorbance at 280 nm was then used in conjunction with data from previous experiments to determine the concentration of the MBP-AP and WT-AP protein samples. Results of experiments showed that the SDS-PAGE gel yielded expect bands and the approximate molecular weight of wild type alkaline phosphatase and maltose binding protein-alkaline phosphatase is 49 kDa and 95 kDa, respectively.…

    Animal Rights For Decades the American society as well as many others, have been participants in an ongoing controversy regarding animal rights and animal protection. This particular debate has raised so much havoc in the world today, considering activist for animal rights are very passionate and will not stop on the account of politeness to get a point across. A widely known animal rights group established in 1980, known as Peta are famous for throwing buckets of wet paint on a various victims wearing a fur piece of clothing to prove a point. Being an activist for animal rights opposed to being a non-activist has not only become two different beliefs, but two opposite lifestyles as well.…
