Results and Discussion: Folin's McCarthy Sullivan Test: Samples: proline, methionine, alanine Reagents: sodium hydroxide (5N), Glycine (1%) and 10% sodium nitroprusside solution, 6N HCl -To 1 ml of the amino acid solution taken in a test tube, add few drops of sodium hydroxide (5N), followed by addition of few drops of glycine (1%) and 10% sodium nitroprusside solution (HANDLE WITH CARE)and vortex. Place the test tube in a hot water bath, maintained at 40 C, for 15 minutes. Cool the test tube in ice cold water for 5 minutes and add 0.5 ml of 6N HCl. Vortex the contents and allow to stant fpr 15 minutes at room temperature
Proteins
We generally tend to think of proteins only from a dietary lens, as a component of what we eat. However, they are among the most important and abundant organic macromolecules in the human body, with diverse structures and functions. Every cell contains thousands and thousands of proteins, each with specific functions. Some help in the formation of cellular membrane or walls, some help the cell to move, others act as messages or signals and flow seamlessly from one cell to another, carrying information.
Protein Expression
The method by which living organisms synthesize proteins and further modify and regulate them is called protein expression. Protein expression plays a significant role in several types of research and is highly utilized in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein research laboratories.
