from mostly organic molecules, including proteins, nucleotides and even alkaloids, which makes it a hydrolase enzyme (Ellis, 2016). In biochemistry, a hydrolase enzyme is an enzyme that speeds up the hydrolysis of complex biomolecules like proteins, starch and fats (Horak, 2014). The addition and elimination of phosphate groups is an important process in biochemistry, as many enzymes are catalysed or have their activity controlled by this process. Even more important than this process,…

level. Hydrophobic interactions are nonpolar molecules, they generally have a long chain of carbons that do not interact with water molecules. RGroups prefer to interact with each other internally and away from water (Wolfe, G. (2000). Thinkwell biochemistry - 2.7.4 Tertiary Structure). This interaction contributes significantly to the folding and shaping of a protein. Hydrophobic interactions are generally stronger than other weaker forces. Amino acids such as glycine and proline have…

Prize in chemistry 1954 "for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the elucidation of the structure of complex substances"1 however he made significant discoveries in many areas of chemistry including physical and biochemistry. He also made several contributions to both theoretical and applied science from genetic diseases to diagnostic technology.2 Professor G. Hägg, member of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry stated in 1954 that “we chemists are keenly aware…

Charles J. Epstein was a highly regarded geneticist who made tremendous contributions to the medical field during his lifetime. He was born on September 3, 1933 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Jacob C. Epstein and Frieda Epstein, Jewish immigrants from the Ukraine. During his high school years at Central High School, he excelled at academics and enjoyed track and field, and played the cello. After completing high school he went on to Harvard College where he graduated summa cum laude and…

I am writing to express my interest in the Clinical Internship at the Child Mind Institute, which I found listed on the Columbia University Center for Career Education Handshake platform. As a junior, majoring in Biochemistry with a concentration in Psychology, I believe the clinical internship is an ideal blend of my past academic, laboratory and extracurricular experiences. As an undergraduate research assistant at the Champagne Laboratory, which specializes in psychobiology, epigenetics and…

The rate of reaction in an enzyme catalysed reaction is also affected by the presence of inhibitors. In this experiment, the effect of temperature on reaction rate of enzyme will be studied. Peroxidase will be used as test enzyme and the variable to be studied is temperature (°C). At first, the experiment will be carried out at room temperature of 20°C. The temperature of the experimental setup will then be increased by keeping the reactants in a water bath at a temperature of 50°C. The enzyme…

1.I was confirmed in the year 2013 under the mentorship of Russ Roquet. 2.As a Member of Sun Prairie United Methodist Church, I attend worship regularly while home from college. Over the summer months, I voluntarily work the C.A.V.E., as well as usher. I plan on doing the same this coming summer. 3.While the literal definition of a Christian means to follow the teachings of Jesus, I believe there's more to it than just that. I believe being a Christian is achieved by completing day to day…

At Middle Tennessee State University student looking to pursue a forensic science major is required to earn 120 credit hours to graduate with a forensic science degree. According to the Forensic Science Academic Map, found in the Forensic science section on the MTSU website, as a freshman, a student must earn 29 credit hours of Expository Writing and Research and Argumentative Writing which focus on a variety of analytical writing and utilizing resources for the purpose of research. General…

Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) degrees. The State Licensing Board accepts both DDS and DMD degrees. In order to complete these degrees, students choose to focus on certain areas of study including: Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology, Microbiology, Pedonotics, Restorative Dentistry, Endodontics, Oral Surgery, and Oral Diagnosis. These areas of study will help a dental student to learn the necessary skills used in dentistry. Dental schools such as the…

Richardson (1994, p. 5) concludes his study by making the observation that “... mature students were rather more likely than younger students to adopt a deep approach or a meaning orientation towards their academic work, and .... were conversely less likely than younger students to adopt a surface approach or a reproducing orientation.” Other determinants of academic performance not discussed above include self-motivation, family income, and parents’ level of education. While a positive…
