EXPERIMENT NO. 15 PROTEIN CHARACTERIZATION BY ELECTROPHORESIS Abstract The molecular weights of protein extracts were assessed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Two sets of four protein samples‚ standard bovine serum albumin (BSA)‚ invertase‚ egg albumin‚ and casein‚ were prepared; one set containing β-mercaptoethanol (BME) while the other did not. These were then analyzed through SDS-PAGE with 12.5% resolving gel‚ prepared using 2 M Tris-HCl at pH 8

Case Study: Newsflash! Transport Proteins on Strike! 1. What is the meaning behind the PHOSPHOLIPIDS’ chant? Phospholipids make up most of the cell membrane‚ in a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipid molecules form two layers‚ with the hydrophilic (water loving) head facing the extracellular fluid and the cytosol (intracellular) fluid‚ and the hydrophobic (not water loving) tails facing one another. The cell membrane is constructed in such a way that it is semipermeable‚ and allows oxygen

Protein Article Research Kristen Roberts Immunity is the ability of a body to resist infection or to counter the harmful toxins produced by infecting organisms (Martin‚ Hine 2008). Antibodies and white blood cells are defensive cells and substances‚ these things produce an immune response. If such an encounter such as‚ bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites occur can make the macrophages engulf the microorganism and secretes cytokines and chemokines. This attracts immune cells to the infected

Cheyenne Kenny September 29‚ 2014. Biology Properties Of Water Adhesion How does temperature change affect surface tension? As the temperature of a liquid increases‚ its surface tension decreases. When water heats up‚ the movement of its molecules disrupts the imbalanced forces on the surface of the water and weakens its sheet-like barrier of tightly bound molecules‚ thereby lowering the surface tension. This is why hot water is more effective when cleaning; its low surface

Title: Purification of Green Fluorescent Protein Introduction: Transformation is used to introduce a gene coding for a foreign protein into bacteria. Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) is used to purify the foreign protein. Protein gel electrophoresis is used to check and analyze the pure protein. Research scientists use Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) as a master or tag to learn about the biology of individual cells and multicultural organisms. This lab introduces a rapid method

G-protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) are cell surface proteins that relay extracellular signals to the nucleus. These signals can be in the form of light‚ peptides‚ lipids‚ and sugars. Once activated by a ligand at the outer cell surface‚ GPCRs activate their cognate G-proteins that reside on the inner cell membrane. The activated G-proteins then slide along the inside of the cell membrane to activate a cascade of proteins and enzymes that in turn amplify the original message received by the GPCR

question ask is‚ how big is my protein footprint? It also asks‚ does a meat rich diet have a negative impact on our environment? And does it contribute to global warming? With a very small percentage of Americans following a vegetarian diet. I will say that my protein footprint is about the same as the majority of the US population. I understand that a good source of protein can be found in nuts‚ black beans and lentils. However the number one source of protein in a US household‚ comes from
