Amino acids are known as the building blocks of all proteins that consists of 20 amino acids which are found in within proteins convey a vast array of chemical versatility. Amino acids are comprised of a carboxyl group and an amino group that attached to the same carbon atom which is the α carbon. They vary in size, structure, electric charge and solubility in water because of the variation in their side chains (R groups). Detection, quantification and identification of amino acids in any sample
Introduction: This preparation illustatrates the benzoylation of amino acid by Schotten Baumann reaction, the hippuric acid is precipitated upon acidifying the reaction mixture. Reaction: Procedure: Dissolve 2.5g of glycine in 25 ml of 10 % NaOH contained in a conical flask. Add 5.4g (4.5 ml) of benzoyl chloride in two proportions to the solutions. Stopper the flask and shake vigorously after each addition until all the chlorine has reacted. Transfer the solution to a 100 ml beaker and rinse
extracellularly. Amino acid surfactants formed another class of green and sustainable surfactants which is generally originated from animal or agricultural base. Amino acid based surfactants are gaining great interest of
specially valuable for the separation of closely related amino acids. The mixture is dissolved in a fluid called mobile phase , which carries it through the structure holding another material called the stationary phase . The various amino acids travel at different speed , causing them to separate based on its R group . Amino acid Amino acid play central roles as building blocks of proteins and as intermediates in metabolisms . The 20 amino acids are found within proteins convey a vast array of chemical

Proteins are complex macromolecules that are formed by elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. Proteins composed of one or more polypeptide chains of amino acids. The main functions of proteins are to structure, support, protect, make movement, catalyst, transport and make hormones in human body. In the structural role, collagen and elastin provide support for connective tissue. Actin and myosin are proteins that involved in muscle contraction and movement. Haemoglobin is a protein that transports
index (AI), and grand average of hydropathicity (GRAVY). The physiochemical properties of spermadhesin-1 molecule of Bubalis bubalis showed that the molecular weight of protein is 15339.6 contain 136 amino acid residues. It also contain the 21 number of leucine amino acid which have 15.4% of total amino acid composition. The theoretical PI of the protein is 4.96. The computed pi value showed that the spermadhesin-1 protein are acidic in nature
and nervous systems. They help transport the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. They provide two essential fatty acids that the body cannot make: linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) and linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid). There are three main types of fatty acids: saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated. Each has subtle chemical differences that dictate how the fatty acid behaves inside and out of the body. Bad fats considerably increase your risk of certain diseases. Rather than adopting
discussed in this chapter. 2.1 OVERVIEW OF PROTEIN STRUCTURE PREDICTION TECHNIQUES Proteins perform many biological functions and represent the building blocks of organisms. Basically there are 20 types of amino acids in proteins consists of different chemical properties. A long chain of these amino acids forms the protein molecule with the neighbor through a covalent peptide bond. Proteins are also known as polypeptides. Protein folding is the collection of proteins into larger structures
Protein synthesis Introduction Translation or protein synthesis is a central process of central dogma of molecular biology. It deals with production of proteins or chains of amino acids by making use of a mRNA as a template, ribosomes as protein synthesizing machinery and tRNA’s as carriers of amino acids during the translation process Living cells devote about 90 % of their chemical energy to synthesis of proteins and only about 10 % to other biosynthetic processes. More than 35% of the dry weight
Proteins are important nutrients that contain the essential and non-essential amino acids which provide the body with energy. They control many metabolic functions in the body and are essential components of all living cells. Proteins are the basic building blocks of matter responsible for muscle growth and development, bones, ligaments and tissue. They also help to fight infections because they strengthen the immune system and are essential for maintaining body functions such as digestion, metabolism
determined principally by the type and relative amounts of the Amino acid present in the particular protein molecule. They are one of the building blocks of body tissue and also serve as a fuel source. Protein is essential for the growth and repair of the body and maintenance of good health. The amount of protein we need are changes during the life time. Different food contains different amount and different combinations of amino acids sequences (British nutrition foundation,2012).
molecules from one location to another within a cell or from one cell to different cell. Proteins differ from one another basically in their amino acids sequence, which is generally dependent on the nucleotide sequence of their genes, and which in turns results in folding of the protein into a specific 3D structure that determines its functions. A linear chain of amino acid is called a polypeptide and a protein contains generally more than one long polypeptide. Why do we study proteins? The study of proteins

Enzymes are giant molecular biological catalyst.They are responsible for thousands of metabolic processes that systain life.Enzymes are highly selective greatly accelerating both the rate and specificity of of metabolic reactions from the digestion of food to the synthesis of DNA..Most enzymes are proteins.They possesses a three-dimensional structure. Enzymes act by converting a starting molecule called as substrate into different molecules called as products.Almost all chemical rection in an biological
In this research project the main goal is to look at two different protein powders and see how the amino acids in them help our bodies to build muscle and how our bodies benefit from them. Protein powders come in all types and flavors and their main purpose is to give your body the amino acids and nutrients that it needs but might not get as easily. They help your muscles grow faster and stronger. Without protein, our muscles wouldn’t heal quickly or correctly which could lead to muscle injuries
tissue and to synthesize hormones and enzymes among other activities. In this experiment, we wanted to determine the organic molecules found in each brand of protein supplements and the amount of starch present. A protein supplement should contain amino acids and proteins; however, some supplements contain other molecules that are used as fillers, thus reducing the concentration of the protein. The most common fillers are simple sugars (monosaccharides) and starches (polysaccharides) because they enhance
INTRODUCTION: DNA as well as Proteins are very essential macromolecules for any living cell. They are involved in various bio-molecular function, hence very essential for any living being. DNA protein interaction is one of the key biological function in a living cell. This type of interaction is happened during replication, transcription, translation, recombination, DNA repair, etc. DNA is a negatively charged macro molecule. Protein interact with the DNA with its positively charged residues. Protein
