The Ubx protein was successfully cross-linked with DMP and the results of it are shown below. In order to show that cross-linking the Ubx protein with DMP successfully cross-linked, a Native Page was ran. The sample type and lane number are presented in the table below. Figure 4 Image of the finished SDS Native page on light. Lane 1 contains the Sprectra Multicolor broad Range Protein Ladder provided by ThermoFisher. Lane 2 contains Ubx-mCherry stock from 2017. Lane 3 contains the Ubx-mCherry stock form 2018. Lane 4 contains Ubx-mCherry + DMP. Lane 5 was skipped. Lane 6 contains the Ubx-mCherry + DMP Heated. Lane 8 contains Ubx-mCherry + DMP UV. After running the Native page the page was viewed under bright light, and the bands showed up …show more content…

The interpretation of the results was that no hydrogel was formed, but it did cross-link and the Native gel proves that it did. Also, the smears showed this as well. The few limitations that were present was, an incorrect centrifuge, the Native gel page would not work correctly, and the Native gel page tore as it was being transferred to a tray where it was going to stain. The conclusion of this experiment was that Cross-linking the Ubx protein with DMP was possible, but the hydrogel did not form. The Ubx protein was also placed under the Uv light for 45 minutes, but no hydrogel formed. Many errors occurred during the experiment. One error that occurred was, we let it dialysis over night at room temperature when it should have been at 4֯C. The second error that occurred was, the SDS Native gel page tore when cracked the page and attempted to transport it. The last error we made was after we ran the second SDS Native gel page, the bottom sticker was left on and caused us to get an incorrect run. The importance of the findings is that the next group that wants to follow our footsteps will have a better understanding and a protocol to form a hydrogel. A change they can make is to increase the concentrations of incubate for a longer period of time. If the succeeding researcher can develop hydrogel, then it can be used as a skincare product or other medical uses. It can be used

For the error in plate C, there could be multiple possible sources of error, however the two that are most likely could be preparation of the competition tubes and in plating. It is not as likely that the error arose in the competition tubes as for plating as the other plates that were made under the same conditions did show growth. However, error could have occurred in having the sample of E. Coli in that tube contaminated by an outside pathogen that outcompeted killed all of the strains, but when but on Rif + Agar plate the pathogen did not have rifampicin resistance, thus resulting in no growth. Another error could have occurred in plating specifically plate C. This could have occurred in that when sterilizing the glass spreader with the burning of ethanol there could have been the failure to wait a sufficient amount of time for the spreader to cool.

The system was run with the power filter, then the fish were introduced to the system. The plants were then installed after two days. The BioMax insert was removed because the plant would replace it. The plant was held up by a sponge insert sitting on top of the activated carbon. The fish were fed and the plants were observed daily.

The Expression and Purification of Recombinant Green Fluorescence Protein (rGFP) from E. coli using Ni+2 -Agarose Affinity Chromatography Abstract The purpose of this series of experiment was to express and purify His6tagged recombinant Green Fluorescent Protein (rGFP) in E. coli strain using Ni+2Agarose Affinity chromatography column. The strain BL21(DE3) < pRSETA-GFPUV> was induced and expressed as an N-terminal His6/Xpress epitope tagged fusion protein, the rGFP crude extract was then purified through Ni+2 agarose affinity column, with wash and elution fraction collected to analyze the fluorescent activity of rGFP under UV light. Green fluorescence observed indicated that rGFP was expressed in E. coli strain.

Throughout 12U Biology this year we have learned about many different enzymes and proteins which both humans and plants possess. This piece of writing's purpose is to touch on 3 plant hormones which we do not touch on and to explain how the hormones carry out their specific actions. The three hormones that are going to be covered are cytokinin, abscisic acid, and brassinosteroids. To begin, what do cytokinins do in a plant? cytokinins were found in the late 1950s by F. Skoog and C.Miller, and what they found was that cytokinins influenced cell division in plants.

Taisya Gowlovech Bio 110 Dr. Lewis & Dr. Mallowa 29 April 2018 Biology 110 Reflection When I registered for Biology last semester, I really did not think I was going to get much out of it. I thought I simply need to get through the class for SOPHIA credit and move on. I didn't really plan on learning anything useful. I was tired of having to memorize the functions of cells and similar topics that are not really applicable to my life outside the classroom..

The aims of this practical are to examine the effects of various substances on the activity of glycogen phosphorylase by the principles of allosteric control of the enzyme and reversible phosphorylation. These principles aim to reverse the effect glycogen phosphorylase has on the conversion of glycogen to glucose-1-phosphate, i.e. causing glycogen and glucose-1-phosphate to bind and release a phosphate. The amount of phosphate formed in this experiment is measured by the principles of a spectrometry reading at 660nm. [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK22354/]] Introduction: Glycogen is used in animals as a form of glucose that can be kept in storage in cells until there is a diminished amount of glucose in the body, which then glycogen

Enzymes are protein molecules contain long chains of amino acid remains. Those chains are containing the side groups (R-groups) of the amino acids. In Active sites the "R" groups are present which are lining from about 3 to 12. These R- groups have the variety of features which are responsible for the tertiary structure in proteins. They can contain ionic groups such as -NH3+ or -COO-, or -OH groups which can contain hydrogen bond or hydrocarbon chains which can subsidise to

Even though tubes 1 and 2 were at different temperatures the result was the same. Digestion did not occur at body temperature or at room temperature when containing HCl. Tubes 3 and 4 were the same except tube 4 did not contain pepsin. Pepsin is key for digestion of proteins into peptides, therefore tube 4 did not test positive for digestion. There must be the right pH level and enzymes for digestion of proteins to occur and test tube 3 was the only one suitable for

These gels were both clear enough to distinguish different bands of proteins with good precision. The proteins identified are educated guesses and further experiments would be needed to prove that these are the correct membrane proteins. Discussion Both gels have resolved many clear bands that have been labeled with proteins that have approximately the same molecular weight. The 15% gels marker ladder was aligned using the strong globin results of the cytosol and lysis at 15kD. The 7.5% was aligned using the anion exchanger (band3) and the actin band at 100kD and 43kD respectively.

In conclusion, the hypothesis that enzyme would have a longer reaction time in higher temperature was supported. We did however find that the enzyme had the lowest reaction time during body temperature. This does pertain to the real world since enzymes tend to have optimal conditions under body temperature. There could have been potential errors that occurred during the experiment. One of them being that temperature of the boiling water when the first three test tubes were inserted.

On cell one, my hypothesis was correct because the protein had a higher concentration which made the water enter into the cell called hypotonic. My hypothesis was wrong on cell two because the sucrose had a higher concentration than the water itself so it was hypotonic. Cell three and four were the one I hypothesized accurately. In cell three, there was water cell put into water which was isotonic. There was glucose put into salt water in cell three which was hypotonic.

An obvious reason causing the discrepancies was that the lab equipment used could have easily been contaminated from the previous lab before and could have affected the results of our lab. If there was left contaminants in the beaker and lab equipment it could have given us different results than was is expected. Also the measurement used could have been inaccurate, therefore producing the discrepancies Both the Biuret test and the Xanthoprotreic test were used in today’s lab procedures but assuming that the vast majority of protein contained one or both tyrosine and tryptophane we would be able to replace the biuret test in Part 1 in detecting protein in a substance with the Xanthoproteic test, This test would identify the tyrosine and tryptophane in a substance only difference is with this test it would turn samples with protein in it a yellow colour. When albumin is denaturing the peptide bonds linking adjacent amino acids are not hydrolyzed. In order to break down any protein primary structure we would need to use both heat and acid.
