Introduction
• Trypsin is a digestive enzyme belongs to serine proteases.
It is produced by Pancreas and is found in digestive system of many vertebrates.
• It is secreted in inactive form “Trypsinogen” and is converted into active Trypsin
by the action of Enterokinase in small intestine.
• It splits proteins into Peptones and Polypeptides.
Its optimum pH is 7.5-8.5
• Trypsin hydrolyzes proteins by acting on Lysine and Arginine.
• It is usually found in 3 isoforms.
• Trypsin can withstand high temperature (50-60 Celsius) and also very low temperature.
• Due to its unique properties It is

• It was recently found that over expression of Trypsin Gene in tumor cells
stimulates their growth in Culture and in nude mice.
• According to recent studies, many stomach, colon and breast cancer cell lines
secretes Trypsinogen-1 or 2 as well as unidentified serine Proteases into culture
medium.

Proteins.
• Stomach cancer cell line is frequently found in the secretion of active Trypsin.
• Immunohistochemical analysis shows that Trypsin is expressed at high levels in
stomach and colon cancers , but hardly in breast
In the late 1940s, scientific research began taking off as innovative technologies and diseases were being created and discovered. One important field of study during the time was cancer. Like many types of new research, there were a few problems getting the ball on the roll. One problem scientists faced was obtaining cancerous cells that would stay long enough to study. One scientist struggled with this until a particularly unique strand of cells came along.
As a result, the glycine keeps pushing the protein towards the chloride ion. In other words, the proteins are trapped between glycine and chloride ion. The proteins form a very tight band inside the stacking gel. Once the protein reaches the resolving gel, the pH changes from 6.8 to 8.8 and the pores are smaller. As pH increases, the N-terminal amino groups are deprotonated.
Starch solution is then placed into the test tube at a quantity of 5 mL. 5 drops of Lugol’s Iodine solution is added to the test tube. If the color changes, then it is known that starches are present in the solution. Proteins are next tested. In order to do this, 5 mL of gelatin solution is added to the test tube. 10 drops of Biuret’s reagent are added to test for protein.
Dietary treatment such as a gluten-free casein-free (GFCF) diet is an approach implemented by parents and clinicians to try and help with the children’s behavior, communication and gastrointestinal problems. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to understand the reviews of different articles to understand the effects of a GFCF diet. Method: Looking up and reviewing 12 peer-reviewed research articles that discuss the GFCF diet and those databases used to find the research articles: Pubmed, CINAHL, Proquest and EBSCO. Results:
In a non-reducing sugar 3cm cubed and 10 drops of hydrochloric acid is placed in a test tube for a water bath of 5 minutes to be mixing afterwards. Biurets reagent is added to the protein solution to determine it presence. Testing for
Explain why the enzyme is still active even though the liver cells from which you obtained the enzyme were no longer living? Because it is still a
Digoxin is a cardioglycoside that delivers a positive inotropic and negative chronotropic effect on the heart; slowing conduction of electrical impulses and strengthening myocardial contractions1. It is used in the treatment and management of congestive heart failure and supraventricular dysrhythmic conditions including atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, and paroxysmal atrial tachycardia2. The active component of Digoxin is digitalis, which has been used in the UK for over 200 years as an extract from the Digitalis lanata belonging to the foxglove species. This was discovered by William Withering and published in his paper in 17853. Digoxin has been clinically licensed as Lanoxin in the UK since February 19874.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in men and the second in women worldwide,accounting for almost 10 % of all cases.{1,2} the USA and Europe have high rates compared to Africa and Asia.{3,4} Only in the United States, nearly 135,000 new cases diagnosed annually that about 50,000 people will die of the disease .{5, American Cancer Society. Cancer Facts & Figures 2015. Atlanta:American Cancer Society.2015 }In Iran CRC is the third most common cancer in women and the Fifth in men.{6} The biggest problem is the high ability of CRC to form secondary tumours, particularly in the lung and liver. Other complication connected to CRC is the high heterogeneity of the genetic and epigenetic changes among the individual
Assess your progress number 15 Describe the functions of proteins in the body. The body uses essential and nonessential amino acids to synthesize proteins. Proteins perform numerous functions in human body, like collagen provides structural strength in connective tissue, as keratin in the skin, and the combination of actin and myosin makes muscle contraction possible. Enzymes regulate the rate of chemical reactions, and protein hormones regulate many physiological processes.
How Hemp Protein Can Significantly Improve Your Overall Health A lot of people are using protein supplements in their diet to help improve their nutrition, health, and physical appearance. There are different kinds of protein and the most popular is perhaps the whey protein. Nonetheless, the hemp protein may be underrated but the hemp, in fact, one of the most versatile plants and provides numerous health benefits. It is an excellent source of eco-friendly and high-quality ingredient that can help you achieve a better health.
1.1 Abstract The purpose of quantitative analysis of protein using a spectrophotometer is to measure the concentration of proteins in a given sample. The experiment is conducted by laboratory method (Biuret Test) and using spectrophotometer to analyze the absorbance of reactants at 540 nm, hence determining the concentration of the proteins in a given sample. The purpose of stopped enzyme assay to study B-galactosidase is to determine the effect of temperature and concentrations of substrate on enzyme activity.
: The hypothesis was a failure because the absorbency was not consistently increasing or decreasing as the pH level increased. The absorbency kept decreasing and increasing at random pH levels. When the characteristics of the enzyme reaction were tested, test tube one was given ten drops of enzyme and ten drops of substrate as well as distilled water. The contents then turned from a clear to dark yellow when mixed with absorbency (A400) of 1.370, the highest absorbency out of all tests. The reactant that was lacking in the control reaction was the enzyme.
Bio Chem lab Report 04 Enzyme Biochemistry Group Member: Chan Man Jeun Duncan (16002621) Law Sze Man (16000478) Introduction Enzyme is a protein base structure substance in our body. It works at a biocatalyst that will catalyzing the chemical reaction, which helps to speed up the chemical reaction. Enzyme could only function in specific shape, and the shape of enzyme is depending on the environment, therefore it is hard for an enzyme to function well in an extreme environment. The aim of this experiment is to see can the enzyme functions normally in different environment(pH, temperature and salt concentration) via using starch solution, amylase from saliva, 0.5M HCl solution, 0.5M NaOH solution and NaCl solution, and using iodine solution
Introduction 1.1 Aim: To determine the kinetic parameters, Vmax and Km, of the alkaline phosphatase enzyme through the determination of the optimum pH and temperature. 1.2 Theory and Principles (General Background): Enzymes are highly specific protein catalysts that are utilised in chemical reactions in biological systems.1 Enzymes, being catalysts, decrease the activation energy required to convert substrates to products. They do this by attaching to the substrate to form an intermediate; the substrate binds to the active site of the enzyme. Then, another or the same enzyme reacts with the intermediate to form the final product.2 The rate of enzyme-catalysed reactions is influenced by different environmental conditions, such as: concentration
Conclusion and Recommendations Ultimately, testing cell viability and knowing the count of viable and non-viable cells in a cell line is an important key in any research using cells. Having enough number of viable cells in a suspension would give accurate results in an experiment. This also shows how trypan blue is an important dye in cell viability and in the study of cells. This dye makes researcher’s life convenient in identifying and differentiating viable versus non-viable cells or live versus dead cells. It is really needed that researchers should ensure new and fresh cell cultures to ensure more viable cells in a culture.
