The pyrimidine synthesis is a similar process than that of Purines(Purines Synthesis). In the de novo synthesis of Pyrimidines, the ring is synthesized first and then it is attached to a ribose-phosphate to for a pyrimidine nucleotide. Pyrimidine rings are assembled from bicarbonate, aspartate and Ammonia. …

What is Nobel Prize and Who is Alfred Nobel? Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been honoring men and women from all corners of the globe for outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and for work in peace. The foundations for the prize …

Biochemical studies or Biochemical Techniques rely on the availability of appropriate analytical techniques and their applications. This undergraduate course deals with the different biochemical techniques such as spectrophotometry and chromatography to gain knowledge on the biomolecules such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and their functions. …

This is the enzymology protocol on “Assay of Acid phosphatase enzyme activity from Potatoes”. Before going to the protocol, we should know few points about phosphatase enzyme. A phosphatase is an enzyme that removes a phosphate group from its substrate by hydrolysing phosphoric acid monoesters into a phosphate ion and a molecule with a free hydroxyl group. This action is directly opposite to …

This is the Biochemistry Protocols section post. Here we are providing “Assay of Urease enzyme activity” protocol. before going to the protocol we need to know few points about “Urease Enzyme”. What is Urease ? Urease is a hydrolytic enzyme that catalyzes the Urea into Carbon …

Aim: To study the effect of temperature on enzyme activity and to determine the optimum temperature. Principle: In any enzyme catalyze reaction the velocity increases with temperature till it reaches the maximum the velocity decreases with further increase of temperature this effect of temperature may be …
