Enzyme

a strong acid for a weak acid or a strong base for a weak base. According to Aoi and Marunaka (2014), regulation of body fluid pH is one of the most important physiological functions of homeostasis, because activity of most chemical reactions via enzyme proteins is dependent on fluid pH. After the homeostasis has maintain, the lungs and the kidneys have to work together to keep the blood system in the normal range to help maintain the blood by affecting the components of the ammonia. The…

Mitochondria are organelles found in eukaryotes obtained through endosymbiosis with prokaryotes billions of years ago. They are organelles with their own DNA and outer and inner membrane and few organelles, because they lost many of their organelles to the Nuclear DNA of the eukaryotes which resulted them being dependent of the cell they live in This endosymbiosis is very crucial for eukaryotes survival since mitochondria produce the energy needed for the cell to survive through oxidative…

Title: Methylcobaloxime: A Model for Vitamin B12 Aim: To create methyl(pyridine)cobaloxime(III) as a model for methylCobalamin, the methylated form of vitamin B12, Introduction: Using Co(I)Cl2 as a starting material, it is possible to produce a cyano(pyridine)cobaloxime like compound, Chloro(pyridine)cobaloxime whose chemistry can be investigated via means of methylation, as such using the Chloro(pyridine)cobaloxime as a model for replicating chemistry already known of…

Abstract: The effect of incubation with white rot fungi on improvement of the nutritive value of bagasse was evaluated. Bagasse was either autoclaved at 120˚C for 20 minutes or steam pasteurized at 100˚C for 1hour and inoculated with Pleurotus Ostreatus or Pleurotus Citrinopileatus at the rate of 2% (w/w). Incubation period was 0, 50, 85 and 120 days. Nutritive value was determined by enzymatic analysis. By 120 days, the proportion of OCC and Oa increased by up to 44.0% and 77.5%, respectively…

Van Abstract The lab was comprised of three parts, the purpose of which was to separate a protein mix and analyze the results. The first part was separating the proteins; the second part was reacting the proteins with an enzyme, and the third part was analyzing each fraction from Part I to see if separation was successful. It was hypothesized that out of the four proteins in the mix that the glucose oxidase which had the greatest negative charge out of the four…

increased, the rate of the reaction increased as well (Francois, 1988). When speaking of reaction rates, it was also important to look into the affect that catalysts have on the reaction rate (Berkson, 1937). Such catalysts may be in the form of enzymes, which are proteins that are made up of amino acids (Brain, 2000). This piece of information is important when considering the chemical properties of gelatin, one of the main ingredients of Jell-O. Gelatin, too, is a protein made up of amino…

detoxification phases. In the first phase, the liver turns fat-soluble toxins into highly reactive and destructive water-soluble compounds. To try and neutralize the products from Phase I, the liver has a Phase II process that uses conjugating enzymes. It renders the highly reactive products of Phase I harmless and removable through urine or bile. We also told you how you could inhibit the Phase I reactions to…

unable to do the same. S200T does not change the functional group of the residue, so it may still be able to act as a nucleophile. However, it may be limited without the charge carrying role of histidine. For all these reasons, it is probable that the enzyme has decreased or no function as a protease. In an animal, this may result in a decreased ability to digest and absorb…

Experimental Method: Extracting LDH. The LDH used was extracted from bovine skeletal muscle tissue. In the cold room, a mass of 20 grams of muscle tissue was obtained. It was placed in a blender along with ice cold buffer, 50 mM sodium phosphate and 10 mM EDTA at pH 7.5. The mixture was then blended and homogenized in order to break open the cells; during this time the temperature was checked periodically to make sure it stays below 20 C. This was done until the solution was homogeneous. The…

The Effect Of Temperature On The Rate Of Maggot Movement. Environmental Systems and Societies ---Planning Lab--- Gaurav Iyer Research Question To what extent does the temperature affect the movement of Maggots? Introduction The Experiment aims to analyze the behaviour of the maggots. In this case, behaviour is defined as the way organisms respond to their environment. In the experiment, the orientation of the movement of organisms and gametes in response…
