Whey protein

1.5. Enzyme-Polysaccharide Interactions Proteins and enzymes have become an integral part of many industrial processes as well as being applied both in cosmetics and in therapeutics. Due to advances in biotechnology and genetic engineering, mass production of protein and enzymes has become feasible. Use of enzymes is environmentally friendly as they catalyse reactions under mild conditions against polluting inorganic catalysts which works in the extremes of pH and temperature. However, this can…

Food tracking can be a daunting task to many, as it was to me when I first started. Before I started tracking my calories I had terrible eating habits and didn’t properly take care of my body. Now, it’s hard to go a day without tracking my calories since it has become such a normal part of my routine. Tracking my calories has become a daily ritual for me and has helped me improve upon my physical and mental ability, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy on my emotional and social wellbeing.…

Beta Alanine Beta Alanine is a dietary supplement that is designed to mimic the action of the non-essential amino acid alanine that is produced naturally in the healthy body. The body to produce proteins uses amino acids. The body uses alanine to convert sugar to energy and eliminate toxins from the body. Beta alanine is the manufactured nutritional performance supplement that helps the body produce more energy and eliminate fatigue experienced by athletes. This synthetic form of amino acid is…

Over the past few decades, increasing research and development efforts toward value addition and efficient utilization of nutritionally rich agro-industrial residues have been gaining attention around the world. Several industrial residues, such as whey, sugar beet pulp, cassava bagasse, apple pomace, citrus waste, coffee pulp/husk, etc., have been studied as model system. They are either used as microbial substrates in fermentation or are subjected to the extraction of bioactive molecules1-4.…

three-dimensional structure of a protein not only defines its shape and size, but also its function. Proteins consist of a long chain of 20 amino acids folded up into complex shapes. Each nonpolar amino acid folds into the interior of the proteins during the folding stage, as they are hydrophobic. The primary and secondary structure determines the hydrophobicity of a protein. Each nonpolar amino acid folds into the interior of the proteins during the folding stage. For instance, membrane…

A relationship with numbers and codes is my fate. I learned math for an Olympic Mathematics Competition that I’ve been involved in since I was 9 years old. I became familiar with algorithms like congruence, Horner algorithm and graph theory before I could use a computer. Now as a senior in the school of mathematics at XX University, one of the top three mathematical schools in China. I chose math as my major to build a good mathematical foundation to thoroughly learn about computer science. With…

material - DNA that makes up the genes and chromosome. The Ribosome: ~Made of dozens of different proteins as well as RNA, also found in large numbers in the cytoplasm of living cells. Ribosome are typically composed of two subunits: • Large subunit • Small subunit “ Free” Ribosome makes proteins that remain inside the cell, “Bound’’ Ribosome make proteins that are exported from the cell. ~Protein Synthesis ~Chemical reactions is molecules that are brought into contact with one another.…

Alkaline phosphatase (AP) is a homodimeric enzyme complex that is commonly found in a wide range of organisms, from bacteria to all tissues of the human body. AP is a zinc metalloenzyme (1), in which metal ions play a key role in the regulation of catalytic activities and stabilization of enzyme-substrate complex. As proposed by Gettins and Coleman using NMR studies (10), each active site of AP comprises of three metal binding sites, which acknowledged as M1, M2, and M3. Two zinc ions bind to…

increases the ranges of non-canonical amino acids. It is shown that misacetylationi in polypeptides show an increase in specific disease. Site-specific incorporation of genetic code reprogramming have demonstrated powerful techniques for investigation proteins and as a tool for biologically-mediated organic chemical synthesis of peptides. The replacement of amino acids with the non-canonical amino acid allows scientist to understand the role of a specific amino acid in the polypeptide molecules.…

Due to limited time constraints and having lab only once a week this lab was broken up into five periods, the last one specifically to go over the results. Day one consisted of extraction of plasmid DNA, which we used Resuspension Buffer to break up our pellet after removing the supernatant (liquid) after centrifuging our overnight culture. Then Lysis Buffer was used to break down the membrane of the cells so that we could then add Neutralization Buffer to bring our sample from basic to neutral…
