Chemistry of protein Amino acids are hydrolyzed proteins or end product when proteins are digested by enzyme acids or alkali. There are over 200 identified amino acids out of which 20 (10%) frequently occur as components of proteins The structure is a carbon(c) with three groups of atoms attached to it. An Amino group (NH ) 2 An Acid group (COOH) Hydrogen Atom (H) Chemistry of protein contd H NH2 —C—COOH H Monoamino – monocarboxylic acids e.g. Glycine Chemistry of protein contd Monoamino-dicarboxylic acids e.g Aspartic acid COOH CH2 NH2 C COOH H Chemistry of protein ...
Aim Modern electrochemistry is a discipline at the interface between chemistry, physics and biology. The lecture series will cover the breadth and depth of modern interdisciplinary electrochemistry. The aim is to provide the students with the knowledge to understand and critically evaluate the literature and to provide the foundations for innovative and cross-disciplinary research and applications. Topics Redox chemistry: basics/Bio-electrochemistry/Redox chemistry in everyday life/Equilibrium electrochemistry/Electron transfer kinetics/Measuring techniques/Electrochemistry of proteins/Electrocatalysis/Biological electron transfer thermodynamics/Sensors/Applications and new frontiers Short biography of the lecturer Hendrik (Dirk) Heering studied Molecular Sciences at Wageningen University, The Netherlands and obtained his PhD in 1995 from ...
Biochemistry • Branch of organic • Biomolecules: chemistry that attempts – Carbohydrates to explain chemical – Lipids characteristics and – Proteins reactions that occur in – Nucleic Acids living organisms. Molecules to Metabolism • Metabolism – • Ex: Insulin – Collection of chemical – Insulin is a protein hormone that facilitates the movement of reactions involving glucose from the blood to the biomolecules, that occur inside of the cell during living processes – Binds to hormone receptor – Reactions occur in outside of cell glucose channels open predictable patterns – Glucose in high concentration outside of cell glucose continues to ...
