Saturated fats that are solids at room temperature are the most common dietary fats. Common sources of saturated fat include red meat, whole milk and dairy foods, cheese, coconut oil, palm oil, many other commercially prepared foods, most deep-fried fast foods and baked goods. The word “saturated” refers to the number of hydrogen atoms that surround each carbon atom. When the carbon atom chain holds as many hydrogen atoms as possible, we say it as saturated with hydrogen. A saturated fats rich…

Euler was investigating genes and enzymes that were related to barley. He then isolated gramine, which was an indole. Erdtman then synthesized the isogramine and found that it had weak anesthetic properties. Then, Erdtman and Löfgren synthesized amino amides but nothing was better than the existing ester-type anesthetic. Some time later, Löfgren and Lundqvist further investigated and found the compound lidocaine. For clinical use, Dr. Torsten Gordh had concluded that lidocaine would be much…

Nephrotoxicity is associate adverse effect of the anticancer drugs for solid and hematologic malignancies (Kintzel, 2001). Cisplatin, cisplatinum or cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) , a platinum-based drug, is one of the most frequently used anti-neoplastic agents. It has a potent anti-tumor action against wide range of malignancies, including testicular, ovarian, cervical, bladder and lung cancers as well as solid tumors resistant to other treatment regimens (Hanigan and Devarajan, 2003).…

protein passes before being a complete protein. First is the primary structure, which is just amino acids linked together with peptide bonds. Next is the secondary structure, the specific geometric shape caused by intermolecular hydrogen bonding of amide groups. These may show in two shapes: alpha helices or beta-sheets. Finally, the protein displays as a fully functional 3-dimensional being in the tertiary structure. Protein Synthesis Numerous steps are taken in protein synthesis. The process…

Ryan Lobrovich 951194095 11/25/2015 Exploring the Basis of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity Does gluten sensitivity exist, and if so how widely does it affect the general population? Having a gluten allergy can be a very real problem for the small percentage of people in the United States with celiac disease. Recently people without celiac disease have been attempting to find a connection between their physical well being regarding their gastrointestinal issues and a gluten-free diet. A large…

1. Given the following amino acids, explain where they would be found in the tertiary structure of a protein and WHY (lack of explanation/incorrect explanations will NOT receive full credit; assume living system of pH = 7.4). Arg Phe Pro Glu His Ala Tyr Val Cys Arginine: This is a charged amino acid that is extremely hydrophilic. It is hydrophilic because while it has an aliphatic side chain that is hydrophobic, it also has two groups where a positive charge resonates between the two…

Abstract. The theoretical treatment of the equilibrium structure of the derivatives was based on the DFT method using the functional B3LYP with the base 6-311 ++ G (d, p). To distinguish the molecular electrostatic potential surface (MESP), we used the principle of HSAB (Hard Soft Acid and Base), in order to have the centers of activity of a molecule and the effects of substitution on the systems of pyrazolooxazine. These have anti-inflammatory activities. In our work, we have applied methods of…

Humanity’s advances throughout history have always amazed scientists; humans have gone far beyond their natural abilities and surpassing the seemingly impossible. The difference that conveys human from the less complex counterparts, animals, is centred on the abilities within the brain; human intelligence has an extraordinary capacity for knowledge. The brain has assisted with human species’ survival for many generations. Even present day, humans are continuously evolving by learning and…

The FTIR spectrum of PVA/CS nanofiber was shown in Fig. 1(a). The band at 3255.32 cm−1 was corresponded to -OH stretching and the peaks at 1025.6 and 1450.04 cm−1 for the -C-O band. The peaks at 3445.32 cm-1, 2965 cm-1, 1640.01cm-1, 1598.7 cm-1, and 1361 cm-1 are due to amine NH symmetric vibration, C-H vibration, deformation vibration of the absorbed water molecules, stretching vibration of amino group of chitosan and vibration of C-H, respectively. The peaks at 890.1 and 1100 cm-1 was…

Kinetic investigation and the Arrhenius plot The degradation of SAC in acidic, basic and oxidative mediums at different HCl (0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 M, keeping temperature 90 ºC), NaOH (0.005, 0.01 and 0.05 M, keeping temperature 40 ºC) and H2O2 (5%, 10% and 15%, keeping temperature 90 ºC) strengths was studied. Also SAC degradation was studied as a function of temperature in acidic (30, 60, 70, 90ºC and room temperature, keeping HCl strength 0.1M), basic (40, 65, 90ºC and room temperature, keeping…
