Prelab 5B Macrocyclic Synthesis OBJECTIVE: The objective this week is to produce Tetraphenylporphyrin and its metal complex. This will be carried out by condensation of 4 equivalents of Benzaldehyde and pyyrole in the presence of propanoic acid. The product will undergo UV/Visible Spectrum tests to determine its lambda max. The lambda max will show us the relationship between a conjugated system and the visible spectrum. PROCEDURE: Step 1: preparation of meso-tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP)

discovery of base-pairing in nucleic acids. These complementariness principles do not only underlie current ideas on the structure of the nucleic acids‚ but they form the foundation of all speculations‚ more or less well- founded‚ on their physical properties (denaturation‚ hypochromic- ity‚ etc.)‚ on the transfer of biological information from deoxy- ribonucleic acid to ribonucleic acid‚ and on the role of the latter in directing the synthesis of specific proteins. They form the basis

Bankruptcy: Its Prediction and Accounting Indicators One major assumption in accounting is the Going Concern. It states that an accounting entity is viewed as continuing in operation indefinitely‚ thus‚ financial statements are normally prepared in the assumption that the entity will continue its operations for the forseeable future. But then it is inevitable that one shall come to an end. So if there is evidence that the entity’s operations are to be terminated‚ the going concern assumption

Protein synthesis is the process whereby proteins are produced‚ or synthesized‚ in living things according to "directions" given by DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and carried out by RNA (ribonucleic acid) and other proteins. As suggested earlier‚ this is an extraordinarily complex process that we do not attempt to discuss here. Following synthesis‚ proteins fold up into an essentially compact three-dimensional shape‚ which is their tertiary structure. DNA contains the instructions for a cell’s structure

the molecules DNA and RNA‚ which are found in all living creatures‚ work together in a certain process that is crucial to existence: the formation of proteins. Although all species differ from each other in various ways‚ the processes by which proteins are synthesized are the same in all. Protein synthesis is a very complex process. In order to understand the process‚ there some basics that are essential for cells to create the proper proteins. DNA is a very long and double-stranded molecule

Formal Report no. 1 Synthesis of Aspirin Chemical Principles Aspirin is most widely sold over-the-counter drug. It has the ability to reduce fever (an antipyretic)‚ to reduce pain (an analgesic)‚ and to reduce swelling‚ soreness‚ and redness (an anti-inflammatory agent). Much of this is believed to be due to decreased production of prostaglandins and thromboxanes. Aspirin’s ability to suppress the production of prostaglandins and thromboxanes is due to its irreversible inactivation of the cyclooxygenase (COX)

Protein synthesis is one of the most fundamental biological processes. To start off‚ a protein is made in a ribosome. There are many cellular mechanisms involved with protein synthesis. Before the process of protein synthesis can be described‚ a person must know what proteins are made out of. There are four basic levels of protein organization. The first is primary structure‚ followed by secondary structure‚ then tertiary structure‚ and the last level is quaternary structure. Once someone understands

Cyclohexene Synthesis by Dehydration Reaction of Cyclohexanol Gjulia Vokrri 02-15-2013 Abstract Alkenes can be produced by heating and dehydrating an alcohol in the presence of a strong acid. The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize cyclohexene by dehydration of cyclohexanol and to detect the presence of a double bond in the alkene. The dehydration reaction using distillation was

Lab 1: Synthesis of Aspirin Introduction: The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate the ability to easily alter the molecular structure of a compound to greatly increase its utility. In this case‚ an acetyl group was added to salicylic acid‚ a naturally occurring compound with significant pharmaceutical value. Without the addition of the acetyl group‚ salicylic acid is an irritant to the gastro-intestinal (GI) tract. Once the acetyl group is added via a simple reaction‚ acetylsalicylic
