Humans consume a variety of foods on a dialy bases, but what makes up these foods. In this lab we will test for macromolecules in a variety of substances. In order to fully comprehend this lab one should be famillar with the various macromolecules. The four main macromolecules are protein, carbohydrates, lipids and nucliec acids, but in this investigation we will be only testing for protein, carbohydrates, and lipids. The term macromolecule refers to a "large molecule which is built by joining subunits

Fold It, an original experimental research project and an online video game puzzle, was developed by the University of Washington’s Game Science Center along with the University Of Washington’s Department Of Biochemistry to identify natural protein structures and further improve medical technology. Each puzzle consists of a protein structure, and the player must overcome each obstacle to move on to the next puzzle—for example, the player must move the structure to create ‘matches (where ‘sheets’

Murder and a Meal: An Organic Compounds Lab Problem: Based on the contents of the victim's stomach, where did he eat his final meal? Background Information: A macromolecule is a molecule that contains a large number of atoms, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates or lipids. Macromolecules are formed by a process known as polymerization in which large compounds are built by the joining of smaller one together. The smaller units are known as monomers and monomers together form polymers

My fascination around biochemistry grew after witnessing my mother overcome breast cancer. It was since then I had become curious into learning more about the disease and the ways in which we can treat it. Based on the fact that the origin of the disease lies in genetics and the biochemistry of living cells, I believe my chosen degree will aid me to understand more on this inspiring field of study. The subject explains the complexity of life to a molecular level and holds the answers to the most

Describe your prior research experience. (500 words or less) I first became involved in scientific research during my first semester at Georgetown by joining the lab of Professor Timothy Warren. I investigated ammonia’s viability as a sustainable, carbon-free fuel source by building, designing, and characterizing novel iron catalysts that could perform ammonia oxidation. I was immediately intrigued by the thrill of science: the glove boxes I learned to spend hours working in, the vibrant purple compounds

Biochemistry and Chemical Engineering are two college majors that I find interesting. Because of my interest, I researched what each major was, the classes that a student in each major would have to take, and what career opportunities that each major provides. Biochemistry is a branch of science that involves chemistry and living beings. The chemical processes and reactions that occur within living beings is fundamental part of this branch of science. The Biochemical Society gives a better definition

1.1 The Cytoskeleton The concept and the term ‘cytosquelette’, (in French) were first introduced by a French embryologist Paul Wintrebert in 1931 (Frixione 2000). Cytoskeleton is a complex network array of cytoplasmic fibers that determine and control visco-elastic properties and mechanical strength of cells. It also organizes and gives structure to the cell interior, controls many dynamic processes, such as intracellular trafficking, cell division, adhesion, and locomotion. It is ubiquitously present

My interest in Biochemistry came to fruition when my father sustained a severe injury. Fortunately his leg healed to a point he could use it. However longer than 10 minutes of pressure caused immense agony as the injury had an impact on his nervous system. He was admitted to pain management and over a period of 6 years, he was given a wide range of medicine from Pregabalin to Nortripyline to help subdue the discomfort. These drugs were purely masking and helping to manage the pain, but as with all

All organisms are continuously exposed to potentially toxic or adverse chemicals from the environment. Whenever such substances are not naturally produced by the organism itself, or are not expected to be within the organism, they are called xenobiotics. Xenobiotics are mostly of no nutritional value and have no metabolic function. Before they may effectively be excreted, most xenobiotics undergo biotransformation. Generally, there are two types of biochemical biotransformation reactions known as

and health of honeybees. I began wanting to learn more about health-related research when I entered university. In the beginning of my time at the University of Maryland (UMD), I was unsure of what it was exactly I wanted to focus on, so I chose biochemistry as my major since I wanted to preform medical research to help find a way to cure and treat diseases. Now looking back at my studies and research experiences, the part I enjoyed most was collecting and analyzing data. While I was interested in

average Tuesday morning, yet the streets were lined with cars from end to end. Each person had their own position, their own niche in the vibrant ecosystem that encompassed Penn. I wanted to be a part of it. As someone interested in biochemistry at the College of Arts and Sciences, I see value in the multitude of research institutes that surround Penn. Each is an opportunity to connect what I learn in the classroom to cancer research, adaptations to disabilities and other fascinating projects

my assign pathway, which is fatty acid synthesis. I used the assigned course textbook along with several scholarly articles to learn about what happened at each step of the synthesis. My presentation will be very relevant and appropriate for my biochemistry class because a large portion of my class was focused on metabolic pathways like glycolysis, krebs cycle, electron transport chain, gluconeogenesis etc. However, we did not go into too much detail on how some of these pathways actually work. This

electronics has produced a whole battery of sensitive tools that allow us to stimulate, record, and analyze the chatter of electrical activity that goes on in the ten-thousand-million neural population and even in the minute individual members of it. Biochemistry and its relatives have begun to trace intricate patterns of chemical interaction that add a new dimension to the complexity of our map of the brain, and formidably enlarge the armament of drugs whereby its behavior can be modified for good or ill

Proteins are the most abundant molecules in cells, making up 50% or more of their dry weight. Every protein has unique structure and conformation or shape, which enables it to carry out a specific function in a living cell. Proteins comprise the complex muscle system and the connective tissue network, and they are important as carriers in the blood system. All enzymes are proteins, enzymes All proteins contain carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. Most protein contain sulfur and some additional

What is the Difference between Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Genetics? Doing Biology is an interesting aspect of human study and it involves various unique findings that have paved way for major medical researches, discoveries and inventions of medicines that are all useful for the health of living beings. Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Genetics form part and parcel of Biology and are overlapping in their theories and approaches with some minute differences. Following statements beautifully

As a Junior in New York University, I have declared my major in biochemistry since my first semester in college. My passion of studying both biology and chemistry started when I was little, in the past five years being able to learn biology and chemistry in high school and college, I have built myself a strong foundation in living organisms as well as the interesting relationship between these two subjects. As there is a high demand for detailed explanations of living processes and life science

for biochemistry in the United States but also because I spent a lot of time in Madison and in Monona as a child with my parents and grandmother so the area already feels like home. What are you looking forward to while at UW-Madison? What I'm looking forward to most at Madison is being a part of a community where I can learn pretty much anything within walking distance of where I live. I'm especially looking forward to accessing more specific realms of knowledge such as plant biochemistry as well

I have chosen Biochemistry and Biomedical science as I would like to become a researcher and progress human advancement. Although we live in a technologically advanced society more than a quarter of the world's population lack basic needs, such as nutrition, clean water and healthcare. I find this unacceptable as every person should have an equal opportunity for life regardless of where they are born. By using Biochemistry to further my knowledge, I hope to be able to research efficient and life

recyclable and conserved. The inclusion of science in my scholastic endeavors has consistently challenged my thinking and aids in my understanding of the world. My own life experiences have instilled in me to pursue a career in STEM, particularly in biochemistry. Sustainability and renewability have always been an integral aspect of my life as a result of the world I have grown up in. In a society extremely dependent on fossil fuels and nonrenewable energy sources, I began to see that the means through
