The three worked…

experiment were purchased from Harlan Sprague Dawley, Inc. (Indianapolis, IN, USA). The animal procedures are approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of East Tennessee State University, as well as complied with the NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. These animals were housed on a 12:12 h light cycle (lights on at 07:00 a.m.). Water and food were provided ad libitum. Rats were randomly assigned to different experimental groups after living an acclimation period of 5…

ydney Brenner was born in January 13, 1927 in Germiston, South Africa. Brenner’s parents were Jewish immigrants.

Quavian Belton Biochemistry I Dr.Nicholas Panasik October 6, 2015 PCR Optimization Abstract A Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a reaction that is set to catalyze the amplification of a copy of a piece of DNA. The aim of this lab was to optimize a PCR reaction by finding out the optimum concentration of MgCl2 needed. Six reactions were set up four with varying concentration MgCl2 and two primer control groups. The volumes and concentrations of each component of the PCR…

The RNA World: The Implications and Problems it Presents Brandon Gutierrez Abstract The origin of life on Earth is a difficult topic to analyze with the limited data available in modern science. Many hypothesis have been suggested to explain how life may have arisen from an abiotic environment, but the topic is still far from fully understood. One generally accepted hypothesis to explain the origin of life involves an RNA world in which RNA was synthesized abiotically and carried out both the…

He wakes up shaken, soaked with sweat, and gasping for breath. Raskolnikov recalls the dreadful way the mare was murdered and he says aloud to himself that of course his plan was just a fantastical one and he reassures himself that “yesterday I realised completely that I could never bear to do it” (62). He exclaims, “...I couldn't do it!”, but his belief in his inability to complete the plan wavers when he then says in the same breath, “there is no flaw in all that reasoning…” (62). The flip…
