Final Essay The chemistry 1100 class has been a very useful tool in helping me decide what I want to do with my life after college. Like most of the students in the biochemistry department, I had already firmly decided that I wanted to go to medical school after I graduate and eventually become a doctor and make money. What this class has helped me realize is that there are many more opportunities out there in the workforce that could be just as fulfilling and still be able to make enough income

The forces, bonds, and interactions by protein structures at the Tertiary level. There are Hydrophobic (nonpolar), Ionic bonds, Hydrogen (covalent) bonds, and Disulfide bonds, also called Disulfide Bridges. Hydrophobic are nonpolar bonds, meaning they cannot interact with water or aqueous solutions. Hydrophobic interactions will cause

Study Guide: Biochemistry A. Hydrophilic vs Hydrophobic. Since biological chemistry occurs largely in an aqueous environment, the interaction of a biological molecule with water is very important. That interaction is influenced by two primary causes: size and polarity (charge). The smaller a molecule is, the more likely it is to be willing to associate with water (dissolve). Also, the more polar and/or charged a molecule is, the more likely it is to be willing to associate with water.

The Brad assay * is one of the most common forms of measuring absorbance through a spectrometer * uses a a dye (coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250) that binds to proteins and is absorbed at a wavelength of 465- 598 nm * Fast, therefore can meaure a 96 plate in 5 minutes * Absorbance shift allows the measure the protein at the 598 nm wavelength by using the spectrometer, can be justified through the beer-lambert law * The standard curve can be used to estimate the concentration of

Introduction : hromatography Different compounds in the sample mixture travel at different rates due to the differences in their attraction to the stationary phase and because of differences in solubility in the solvent. Separation of compounds is based on the competition of the solute and the mobile phase for binding places on the stationary phase. In this experiment, the solid phase is silica gel and the mobile phase is an organic solvent. This means the components to be separated

DNA Mediated Charge Transport in p53 CHM 4390-U02 Rohit Vinod April 22, 2015 INTRODUCTION Human transcription factor p53 is considered to be an important and useful protein that plays a key role in cancer and tumor suppression. Many of the pathways in which p53 is utilized usually are apoptosis, cell deterioration also known as senescence, cell cycle arrest or DNA repair (Riley et. al, 2008). P53 also plays a role in glucose metabolism as a regulator of glycolytic and oxidative phosphorylation
