BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (HONS) BIOTECHNOLOGY YEAR 1 SEMESTER 1‚ 2 & 3 UDBB 1164 FUNDAMENTAL ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 0 EXPERIMENT 1 PROPERTIES OF HYDROCARBONS Introduction Hydrocarbons are compounds which contain only carbon and hydrogen‚ can be classified into several types‚ depending on their structure. Aliphatic hydrocarbons are divided into three classes: alkanes (e.g. methane‚ ethane and propane) have only single bonds‚ and are said to be saturated; alkenes (e.g. ethene and propene)

The effect of drugs‚ toxins‚ and other molecules on synapse and synapse transmission. The synapse is the small gap separating two neurons‚ the presynaptic neuron (neuron that carries the impulse to the synapse‚) and postsynaptic neuron (neuron that carries the impulse away from the synapse.) It separates the axon terminals of the presynaptic neuron from the postsynaptic neuron. The synapse is made of three major parts: a presynaptic neuron‚ a postsynaptic neuron‚ and a synaptic cleft. The presynaptic

Abstract: In this lab‚ the chemical components of Excedrin and Tylenol‚ two common‚ over-the-counter analgesic drugs‚ were determined by utilizing the technique of thin-layer chromatography‚ or TLC. The active ingredients of Excedrin were caffeine‚ acetaminophen‚ and aspirin with Rf values of 0.11‚ 0.38‚ and 0.61‚ respectively. The lone active ingredient of Tylenol was acetaminophen with an Rf value of 0.39. The elution sequence obtained in the experiment is as follows: ibuprofen (least polar)

Phenol‚ also known as carbolic acid‚ is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C6H5OH. It is a white crystalline solid that is volatile. The molecule consists of a phenyl group (-C6H5) bonded to a hydroxyl group (-OH). It is mildly acidic‚ but requires careful handling due to its propensity to cause chemical burns. Phenol was first extracted from coal tar‚ but today is produced on a large scale (about 7 billion kg/year) from petroleum. It is an important industrial commodity as a

How Primary Structure Determines Protein Function Proteins are everywhere. As enzymes‚ they catalyse chemical reactions. There are many different types of proteins: carrier and channel proteins which transport substances‚ receptor proteins which are recognition site for antibodies and hormones‚ structural proteins which support cells and tissues‚ and hormones which transmit information. Proteins are big molecules with large molecular masses that are made up of many amino acids; they’re‚ essentially

Amphetamines are substrates for carriers linked with the uptake of the biogenic amines dopamine (DA)‚ norepinephrine (NE)‚ and serotonin (5-HT) (Kehr et al.‚ 2011). The dopamine and the serotonin release from storage vesicles‚ avoid the uptake into vesicles‚ and making them more freely available for inverse transport. Both dopamine

APPENDIX A: Interim Report 1. Introduction – aim & objective Oil & Gas industry are facing extreme challenges especially as the demand of oil resources is growing every day. The extraction of oil is becoming more technically and geographically challenging as we are going deeper under severe conditions i.e. pressures and temperatures and using complex systems. These complex system and extreme conditions like in wide range of fluids‚ temperatures

UN 1076 – Phosgene HAZARDS: Phosgene is a highly toxic‚ irritating and corrosive gas. Inhalation can cause fatal respiratory damage. Phosgene reacts violently and decomposes to toxic compounds on contact with moisture‚ including chlorine‚ carbon monoxide and carbon tetrachloride. In case of skin contact: If liquid phosgene (below 8.2 deg C) contacts the skin or clothing‚ an inhalation exposure should be suspected. Hazards due to skin contact with the gas is unknown. Phosgene does‚ however‚ react
