Skeletal Muscle: Skeletal muscle makes up approximately 40 percent of a humans total body weight, and contains 50-75 percent of all body proteins, accounting for 30-50 percent of whole body protein turnover (Frontera and Ochala 2015). It contributes significantly to multiple bodily functions both mechanically and metabolically. In terms of our study its main function is to convert chemical energy into mechanical energy allowing individuals to generate force and power, and produce repetitive…

other meat proteins to coat the fat particles completely (Dikeman and Devine, 2014). The uniformity of the chop helps to form a stable emulsion. 2. The size of the fat particle affects the stability of the emulsion because the fat particles need to be small enough so the meat proteins can coat them and create a stable fat in water emulsion. If the fat particles are too small, the fat particles can begin to agglomerate reducing the stability of the emulsion because there is not enough protein…

Objectives: In the present study we made an attempt to evaluate the association of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1(PAI-1)4G/5G polymorphism with oxidative stress markers Malondialdehyde (MDA) and High sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), fibrinolysis marker PAI-1and lipid profiles. Subject and Methods: Blood was drawn and DNA extracted from 90 subjects (46 cases and 44 controls). The 4G/5G polymorphism of PAI-1 was amplified using specific primers. Amplified products were visualized by…

First lane is the protein ladder which is used as a reference and to estimate the size of different proteins. Lane 1 in the green box contains cow serum which shows high mobility since it dyes all the way to the bottom with different bands through the gel. Lane 2 contained one dark band at the bottom of the gel. Lane 3 shows o dark band with low mobility through the gel. Lane 4 shows one band stained with medium mobility through the gel. Sample proteins 1-4 were separated through gel…

Laccase: Dynamic site structure and reactant cycle. (a) Model of the catalytic cluster of the laccase from Trametes versicolor made of four copper molecules. Type I (T1) copper presents the trademark blue colouring to the protein and is the site where substrate oxidation occurs. Type 2 (T2) and Type 3 (T3) copper form a trinuclear center, where the reduction of molecular oxygen and release of water takes place. (b) Schematic portrayal of a laccase reaction cycle producing…

biological components such as DNA, RNA, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids. Buffer solutions are remarkably resistant to pH changes and generally consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. In the laboratory, artificially made buffers are often used to help maintain a biological system at the proper pH. A laboratory buffer should be inert in the system being studied. For example, Tris buffer is unsuitable for some protein assays because it reacts with…

The purpose of this experiment is to examine the extraction of the DNA material that was extracted from the Chromosomal DNA from E coli in laboratory 9. DNase is used to help extract the Sugar phosphate backbone of the DNA. DNase should only cleave DNA not RNA but DNase can classify contaminated RNA from chromosomal DNA. Methods A. preparation :E. coli was used to extract the DNA as instructed in laboratory 9 to use in the experiment on analyzing in this experiment. There was 500 μL of the…

the letters A-G. Although each has a slightly different protein structure, the mechanism of action is fundamentally the same. There are four main categories in which humans acquire the neurotoxin, three of which can be deadly if not diagnosed and treated promptly. The three organic routes of acquisition include…

Initially, the protein extract solution was subject to ion exchange column chromatography using SP Sepharose Fast Flow (GE Healthcare, Sweden). The column (with 5 ml of stationary phase) was equilibrated with five column volumes of sodium acetate/acetic acid 10mM pH5 and 10 ml of protein extract containing bacteriocin were injected into this. After washing the column with sodium acetate/acetic acid 10 mM pH5 (Buffer A), elution was performed using a linear gradient from sodium acetate/acetic…
