Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The reason the proteins are not visible in the lanes without amylase treatment should be discussed.

Concept introduction:

Alpha-amylase catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha linkages in polysaccharides and release glucose and maltose. Glycogenin is an enzyme which catalyzes the formation of short glycogen primers from glucose molecules.

SDS-PAGE is a biochemical technique used to separate charge molecules in a mixture, according to their molecular masses. SDS acts as a surfactant and gives negative charge to the proteins. Thus it allows the protein separation only based on their molecular mass. Western blot is a visualizing technique which is commonly used to analyze proteins in a given sample via SDS-PAGE.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The effect of treating the sample with a-amylase should be explained.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The list of other glycogen associated proteins and the reasons for their absence in SDS-PAGE should be discussed.

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
