This non protein part is called Prosthetic group.  Conjugated proteins without prosthetic group is called apoprotein. Derived Proteins – these are proteins derived by partial complete hydrolysis from the simple

Amino acids and proteins are building blocks of life.  Amino acid contains the basic amino acids (-NH2), carboxyl group (-cooH) , hydrogen atom and r group (distinctive side chain)all bonded to a carbon atom, namely the Alpha carbon.  All amino acids , except proline, have the same general structure.  More than 300 amino acids are present in the cell, however, only 22 amino acids participates in the protein synthesis ribosomically.  GENERAL PROPERTIES OF AMINO ACIDS:-  They have a very high melting and boiling points.  Amino acids are white crystalline solid substances.  In tastes, few amino acids are sweet , tasteless and bitter.  Most of the amino acids are soluble in water are insoluble in organic solvents.  BASED ON NUTRITIONAL REQUIREMENTS ;- Essential Amino acids –  amino acid that cannot be synthesized by the human

The dihydroxy acetone does not contain a chiral carbon and does not exist as a pair of stereoisomers.  Q2. Why do most of the animal are able to digest starch but not cellulose?  A. Starch involve specifically to be digested that because it is a way to store glucose for later use and thus is chemical structure is fairly easy to digest.  Cellulose was made to be long lasting structure substance in other words it involve specifically to be resistant to digest.  the ability to digest cellulose is hard involve and make more energy to accomplish. Q3. Define stereoisomers?  A. Stereoisomers isomers which possesses same molecular formula, but different in the spital  arrangement of atoms or groups.  Stereoisomers can be classified broadly into geometrical isomers and isomers that contain asymmetric centre. Q4. Why ice float on the surface o

Water and Its Basic Properties

Water   water, a substance composed of the chemical elements hydrogen and oxygen and existing in gaseous, liquid, and solid states. It is one of the most plentiful and essential of compounds. A tasteless and odourless ( without a smell) liquid at room temperature, it has the important ability to dissolve many other substances.   Melting point: 0 °C  Density: 997 kg/m³ Formula: H₂O Boiling point: 100 °C Molar mass: 18.01528 g/mol IUPAC ID: Oxidane Water Properties of water Water is an important component of our body . It constitutes about 65 % of the total body mass. Most of the reaction in the cell is carried out in aqueous medium (water). Water is made up of oxygen and two hydrogen atoms.  Oxygen has a tendency to pull the electron towards itself.  Due to this a dipole  ( a pair of equal and oppositely charged or magnetized poles separated by a distance)  is created in which each water molecule is surrounded by four other water molecules. Properties: Melting point  Boiling points

Scope of Biochemistry

Image
Neuberg introduced the term biochemistry in 1903. The early part of 20th century witnessed a  sudden outburst of knowledge in chemical analysis, separation methods, electronic instrumentation for biological studies (X-ray diffraction, electron microscope, etc) which ultimately resulted in understanding the structure and function of several key molecules involved in life processes such as proteins, enzymes, DNA and RNA . Scope of Biochemistry   1) To evaluate ( मूल्यांकन करना )  nutritive value of cereals, pulses, oilseed, fruits and vegetable. 2) Formulation of balanced diet. 3) Removal and inactivation of toxic or anti nutritional factors present in food grains in general and grain legumes in particular by breeding and chemical treatments. e .g. ODAP in Keshari dal, Trypsin inhibitors. 4) Development and exploitation of better genotypes.   5) Food preservation and processing technology and post-harvest physiology of fruit crops and vegetables and their nutritional quality. 6) B
