Chromatography

Natural products either as pure compounds or as standardized extracts provide unlimited chances for new drug discoveries because of the unmatched availability of chemical diversity (Cos et al., 2006). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 80% of the world's population trusts on traditional medicine for their primary healthcare needs. Plants used for traditional medicine contain a varied range of compounds that can be used to treat chronic as well as infectious diseases…

obscure scientists, Christian Friedrich Schonbein was well known for his discovery of ozone as well as work on fuel cells. He along with Friedrich Goppelsroeder discovered and coined capillary analysis, and later on, paper chromatography. My project centers on ink chromatography and capillary action, both of which were discovered by Friedrich Goppelsroeder and Christian Friedrich Schonbein. Of the two men, Christian Friedrich Schonbein was a more intriguing scientist. Christian Friedrich…

such as hair, skin, or plant cells all have DNA. Plenty of research and experimentation went into solving the structure of DNA and the invention of paper chromatography allowed Erwin Chargaff (1905-2002) to make a contribution in establishing the structure of DNA and how it transmitted genetic information. In 1950 he used paper chromatography to separate organic bases and measure the amount of each base in order to determine the ratio of the bases adenine-thymine (A-T) and cytosine-guanine…

The variable located at the left side of the diagram, the effect of malunggay and ginger root extracts is the independent variable which in being manipulated for the dependent variable, the time spent in treating the sample infected by trichophyton rubrum. The main purpose of this study is to produce an organic antibacterial treatment for Trichophyton rubrum using Malunggay (Moringa oleifera) and Ginger (Zingiber officinale). Specifically, this study aims to answer the following: 1. In which…

To identify the unknown chemical mixture (#757), a TLC analysis was conducted using three standards (aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine). A TLC plate was prepared by drawing an origin line and solvent front line with a pencil. Three spot were labeled A, B, and C. A sample of each standard was spotted on the analytical TLC plate approximately 1cm from the bottom of the plate. It was then enclosed in a jar filled with 2ml of 95% ethyl acetate- 5% acetic acid. (Another laboratory group conducted…

purification of the protein under the guidance of Dr. Raquel Ruiz and involved expression tests at different concentrations of the inducing agent IPTG, large-scale growth of BL21-DE3 E. coli cells that over-express hS100A7, utilizing fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) with immobilized metal ion affinity and size exclusion columns, and ultimately using the purified protein product in setting up crystallization screens. I was unable to obtain any crystals of hS100A7 due to the usage of the…

CHAPTER-V FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF LEVODOPA FLOATING TABLETS FORMULATION AND EVALUATION OF LEVODOPA FLOATING TABLETS Several approaches are currently used to retain the dosage form in the stomach. The principle of the floating tablets is simple and practically approach to achieve increased gastric residence time to obtain controlled release floating tablets designed based on the gas generating principle needs a strong floating matrix former. In this regard HPMC K4M,…

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. This enzyme will be eluted…

Crayola Washable Markers are really nontoxic, or even as safe as the dyes used in food. To answer this question, we used paper chromatography to identify the dyes in blue, orange, and green Skittles Sweets and Sours candy and Crayola Washable Markers. In this paper chromatography experiment, the mixture to be separated was spotted 1.5 centimeters from the bottom of chromatography paper, which was then dipped in the solvent, a 0.1 percent salt solution. The solvent then moved up the filter paper…

α-Lactalbumin, a multifunction protein in milk, forms an enzyme complex with galactosyltransferase that catalyzes the last reaction in lactose synthesis.1 α-Lactalbumin has one Ca2+ binding site and several Zn2+ binding sites as well as many intermediary folding states, making it ideal for research involving the effects of cation binding on protein interactions as well as research on protein misfolding.1 α-Lactalbumin gives milk an antimicrobial property, making it important for infant health,…
