The surplus amino acids in animals can be completely oxidized or converted to other storable fuels Amino acids in excess (from diet, protein turnover) can neither be stored, nor excreted, but oxidized to release energy or converted to fatty acids or glucose. Animals also utilize amino acid for energy generation during starvation or in diabetes mellitus

According to a survey and my own observation young people today are more consumeristic and less idealistic. The college students'major objective \is to be financially well off.\ Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life. It is true that we need to be financially comfortable, but we also need to feel we have perspective on the world beyond the confines of our occupation It is the duty of educational institutions to help people get a better understanding

Overview: As you may discover, growing single crystals takes patience as well as an artful hand Crystallizations can be very sensitive to temperature and minor disturbances. Therefore, you will be encouraged to try several different temperatures using otherwise identical conditions, and to always find a quiet undisturbed location to promote crystal growth. Here are some tried and true tips to get

Overview: A good 'H NMR sample contains about 10 mg of compound. The solution should contain no solids or paramagnetic impurities. Your deuterated NMR solvent should be free of water,and your NMR spectrum should contain no solvent peaks. Reference: Zubrick page 295 is relatively useful, but you should follow the specifics in this handout Also, keep in mind that we won't be running continuous wave spectrometers, so you should disregard any discussion of them. NMR Solvents:

This handout describes standard extraction and washing protocols that can be applied to virtually any crude reaction mixture. Aqueous washings are done to remove water soluble impurities from organic products since normally the compound that you desire will be dissolved in Reference

Through the study of these two periods of class, the students should understand the text correctly. The new words should be read fluently. The w = new words and the expressions in the text should be learnt by heart

1. Hemoglobin is a multisubunit allosteric protein that carries 02 in erythrocyte. 1.1 Hemoglobin is a well-studied and well-understood protein. 1.1.1 It was one of the first proteins to have its molecular mass accurately determined. 1.1.2 The first protein to be characterized by ultracentrifuge. 1.1.3 The first protein to be associated with a specific physiological function

Announcement \Chapter 8 Enzymes: Basic Concepts and Kinetics\ in Lubert Stryer's \Biochemistry\ (Fourth Edition) will be used as my major lecture material, which is available for you to Xerox from your TAs. Chapter 8 in Lehninger's“ Principles of Biochemistry can be used as a reference

Culture is thought to be the thing only humans have. Studies of animals however, show that chimpanzees can make and use tools like man. Monkeys can learn to do something from each other. Apes can even be taught some forms of language. We find that certain animals do culture similar to that of human beings and the line dividing us from them is not as clear as we used to think
