our project was to simulate the digestion of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Using a certain medication called pancreatin we tested its effects on how it was able to break down these macromolecules. pancreatin is a mixture of pancreatic enzymes that help to aid in digestion; the enzymes that are present in this mixture include amylase (breaks down carbohydrates), lipase(breaks down lipids), and protease (breaks down proteins). We had set up trials for these enzymes to break down their…
The aim of this paper was model the amino acid intake of broiler chickens for optimum economic in different scenarios with MC how to example. The second objective was described in software R the scripts for modeling the optimum amino acid intake for broiler. In addition, we considered the price of whole birds and DL-methionine cost according to Economic scenario. The dilution technique was used to allow formulates the experimental diets with the same balance of amino acids for all treatments…
receptor-mediated endocytosis, unlike the other two processes is a selective process; this consists of cell proteins in pits on the surface of the cell acting as receptors which bind with molecules and the cell will only absorb certain cells if they are bound to a particular receptor.…
Gene Therapy & Cancer Cells Gene therapy is often defined as a treatment that uses genes to cure or prevent diseases. Genes, DNA, and protein are all involved with each other, therefore, in many immune diseases, if one fails your whole immune system could eventually fail. This treatment is relatively new; hence it is still a pretty risky experimentation since it involves getting genes into cancer cells. Gene Therapy is often involved in serious cancer cell treatments; its main purpose is to try…
Sickle Cell Disease is a blood disorder that’s inherited and affects almost 100,00 folks in the United States . Red blood cells contain hemoglobin which is a protein that carries oxygen in the blood . Normal red blood cells are flexible and round which allows body . The sickle cell disease causes red blood cells to form a cresent shaped red blood cells to break away easily causing anemia . Instead of the normal 120 days the…
(there are other types but the ones mainly discussed in protein synthesis only involved these two). The DNA and RNA are partners that work together to make protein in protein synthesis. DNA is like the instruction manual to making the protein. The first step involves making the mRNA through a process called transcription. In transcription, a small portion of DNA is "copied" through coding to make the mRNA. Now entering the next stage of protein synthesis, the mRNA leaves the nucleus to go to…
which has four binding sites for biotin or biotinylated derivatives with extraordinary affinity. Biotin can be chemically coupled to a binder molecule (e.g., a protein, DNA, hormone, etc.) without disturbing the interaction with its target molecule by a procedure called biotinylation. Avidin can then be exploited to “sandwich” between the biotinylated binder and a targeting molecule or probe. Avidin was also coupled with a functional moiety in some cases. Through the avidin-biotin system, we can…
The lack of antioxidant cause oxidative stress and excess free radicals that peroxide cell membrane and destroy it; break and even mutate double-strand deoxyribonucleic acid; change the structure of proteins and make the function exception. H. sabdariffa extract has been determined as a useful antioxidant, and we detected the reducing power capacity and expected had sound effects. We used BHA (100 µM) as standard and dilute the sample to designated concentrate…
Protein Casein DCP & CE Hypothesis: Casein is made up of many individual amino acids. Each of them may have positively charge or negative charge depending on the pH of the milk. At certain pH value, positively charges and negatively charges of the casein will equal, so that the number of electrons equals to the number of protons. [1] Approximately pH 4.6 is the pH value that acid casein is precipitated and least soluble. In milk, which has a pH of about 6.6, the casein has a net negative…
Elizabeth Barron Winters July 9th, 2017 Case study 1 Atkins or Fadkins Part 1: Macronutrients and energy Question 1: Proteins: do most of the work in the cells, required for structure, function, and regulation of the bodys tissues and organs. They also transport nutrients and are catalyst. Examples of proteins are nuts, meats, and beans. Carbohydrates: source of energy for the body, simple and complex carbs. Examples are fruits, pasta, sugar, and, grain. Fats: store energy, aid in…
