...Isolation and Characterization of Proteins: Hydrolysis and Chromatography Niña Maria Inez Torno, Kimberly Victoriano, Steven John Villafuerte, Klarissa Viloria, Liana Yamzon Group 8 2F-Pharmacy Biochemistry Laboratory ABSTRACT Chemical analysis can be either qualitative or quantitative in nature. In qualitative analysis, we work to identify the substances present in a given sample. We are only concerned whether certain substances are present or absent while in quantitative analysis, we are concerned in determining the amount of each component present in a sample. This experiment aims to isolate and characterize the intact protein in wheat flour which is Gluten through hydrolysis and chromatography. Gluten was isolated then hydrolyzed by proteolytic enzyme and was subjected to different qualitative tests. Paper Chromatography was also performed to analyze the different amino acid components of gluten. Tests showed that Gluten has several amino acid components. INTRODUCTION Proteins are a class of organic compounds which are present in and vital to every living cell. In the form of skin, hair, callus, cartilage, muscles, tendons and ligaments, proteins hold together, protect, and provide structure to the body of a multi-celled organism. In the form of enzymes, hormones, antibodies, and globulins, they catalyze, regulate, and protect the body chemistry. In the form of hemoglobin, myoglobin and various lipoproteins, they affect the transport of oxygen and other substances...

...Unit II: Genetics Brief Overview Reading: Chapters 3, 4, 9-12, 14 (Note: you have reviewed much of this already) The earth is teeming with living things. We can easily see some of the larger organisms—trees, grass, flowers, weeds, cats, fish, squirrels, dogs, insects, spiders, snails, mushrooms, lichens. Other organisms are everywhere, in the air, in water, soil and on our skin, but are too small to see with the naked eye—bacteria, viruses, protists (single celled eukaryotes such as amoebae), and tiny plants and animals. Life is remarkable in its complexity and diversity, and yet it all boils down to a very simple idea—the instructions for making all this life are written in nucleic acids, usually DNA. Most organisms have a set of DNA that contains the instructions for making that creature. This DNA contains four “letters” in which these instructions are written—A, T, G, and C. The only difference between the code for a dog and the code for a geranium is in the order of those letters in the code. If you took the DNA from a human and rearranged the letters in the right way, you could produce an oak tree—arrange them slightly differently and you would have a bumble bee—arrange them again and you would have the instructions for making a bacterium. Acting through more than two billion years, the process of evolution has taken one basic idea—a molecular code that uses four letters—and used it over and over, in millions of combinations to produce a dazzling array of life forms...
