Properties of Subatomic Particles
September 03, 2013 02:10The basic conception of a subject now known as Subatomic Particle physics dates back to 500 BC when the Greek philosopher Leucippus and his pupil Democritus suggested that matter consists of small, indivisible particles, which they called atoms. For more than 2000 years after this, the notion of atoms lay in obscurity. For quite a long time, people believed that all matter consisted of four elements: earth, fire, air, and water. We now know that atoms do exist, and that some particles smaller...
Atomic Theory
September 03, 2013 02:08We now know that atoms are not indivisible , since they contain protons, neutrons, electrons and other subatomic particles. However, other than this mistake Dalton's ideas are essentially correct in his Atomic Theory.
States of Matter
September 03, 2013 02:06Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. Matter has different states and their discovery and characterization employed the scientific method.
Significant Figures
September 03, 2013 02:04Significant Figures or Digits are the amount of digits that are accurate in a calculation. This is determined by how many digits there are in the numbers of the calculation.
General Chemistry - South Central Louisiana Technical College
September 03, 2013 01:16Rising from the ashes...not to be defeated! Students, check out my introduction to chemistry for the student in the process technology department. I hope this will be helpful! Introductory General Chemistry
Marion Carroll | Homework Paradise
December 29, 2011 17:38Marion Carroll | Homework Paradise Since leaving the classroom I have been longing to help students academically with their questions and concerns in basic chemistry. biology and biochemistry. Homework Paradise might be a way to do that. Give this a try. This portal is new to me so I will see how this goes and if it is useful in providing you with the help you seek. If so, I will begin promoting myself and you can help by submitting your own review. Thanks. Good luck! Dr. Carroll
Summer time...and the livin' is easy...
July 04, 2010 18:27That's right. All done for another summer of kicking back, relaxin', readin', writing and some overall reflectin'. Things are looking up since the last time summer came around. Hope you enjoy yours in spite the challenges. God will bless in due time.
Introduction to Biochemistry
June 26, 2010 02:30I welcome your comments here after or before your class. Suggestions for topics and clarification may be and are encouraged to be posted here. You can be anonymous or you may identify yourself. I especially would like to see comment strings, that is, what you think about what someone else has said. Come here often to review material covered in lecture.
Chapter 1 part 1
June 24, 2010 02:20Much of chapter 1 is a review of material you should have seen before with respect to thermodynamics and Gibbs Free Energy.
Chapter 1 part 2
June 21, 2010 02:10Chapter 1 contains a discussion of thermodynamics. Your comments are always welcomed. Enthalpy, entropy and free energy changes lie underneath all biochemical reactions driving them to completion and initiating the next reaction. Carefully read your chapter and search for other sources to reinforce these concepts.
Thermodynamics....huh?
June 18, 2010 12:42 - 66.2 MB VideoSo here's a little description of what I believe explains the difference between &Delta G and &Delta G0. Gibb's Free Energy
pH and Amino Acid Titration
June 15, 2010 11:20 - 93.1 MB VideoHere is a quick review of pH, pK and pI that will be important when we begin Chapter 4: amino acids.Amino Acid Titration. For Window Media Players
Chapter 4: Amino Acids
June 13, 2010 06:00 - 115 MB VideoHere is a summary of some important details concerning amino acid structure and properties. You should also be able to download theses videos for free from the iTunes music store if you have an account. You will find it in the Podcast section under "Biochemistry Class Notebook". Stevie...what more can I say.
Chapter 7
June 10, 2010 13:09After discussing amino acids, protein primary, secondary and tertiary structure, we will discuss protein structure and function using hemoglobin: the classical allosteric protein.
The Bohr Effect
June 09, 2010 12:11 - 92 MB VideoHere's a brief overview of the most challenging topic in chapter 7, The Bohr Effect.
Michaelis-Menton Kinetics after Exam II
June 05, 2010 13:44 - 89.7 MB VideoHere is the first of 2 installments on our Enzyme Kinetics lectures. Use this for a quick review of the terms KM, VMAX, Kcat, KS and enzyme efficiency. More description of the Linweaver-Burke and inhibition will follow in the 2nd installment.
Enzyme Inhibition
June 02, 2010 03:28 - 79.7 MB VideoHope you listen in on this description of the 3 common enzyme inhibition profiles, it may prove helpful on Exam III.
Biochem Lab Fall 2009

August 26, 2009 12:35 - 107 MB Video(click the title to play or right click it to download and play in Quicktime) The first experiment in Biochemistry lab this coming week is the Spectrophotometry of Riboflavin. Take a look at the Spectrophotometry of Riboflavin, Part I before coming to class. If you're having trouble downloading and viewing the link on the title then this link will redirect you to the source file and you should be able to hear and see it there.
BIOCHEM LAB: Spectrophotometry of Riboflavin Part II
August 26, 2009 06:14 - 94.7 MB Video(click the title to play or right click to download and play in Quicktime) The first experiment in Biochemistry lab this coming week is the Spectrophotometry of Riboflavin. Take a look at the Spectrophotometry of Riboflavin, Part II video before class. If you're having trouble downloading and viewing the link on the title then this link will redirect you to the source file and you should be able to hear and see it there.
BIOCHEM LAB: pH Determination
August 24, 2009 22:09 - 129 MB VideoRead your manual and do your calculations before class. Let me know if you have trouble viewing the Quicktime movie.
BIOCHEM LAB: Titration of an Amino Acid
August 24, 2009 03:44 - 102 MB VideoThe amino acid titration experiment is described in this 20 minute video. CLICK the title to download and play a windows media file (not very good). Here you can download and play the quicktime file or get it from iTunes. Finally to accommodate all of you you may be able to view this video below. Go through it before taking the bonus quiz.
Protein Concentration Determination
August 22, 2009 11:47 - 97.5 MB VideoIn the Experiment IV video will take a stock solution of BSA to generate a standard curve to use to determine the concentration of an unknown concentration of BSA. BSA is a standard size protein and is used regularly as a control to compare and determine concentrations of many different types of pure proteins. Can you tell me what BSA stands for?
Protein Characterization and PAG Electrophoresis
August 22, 2009 04:49 - 144 MB VideoExperiment VI and part of Experiment VII are described in this video. There is forthcoming the actual loading, running, staining and destaining of the gel before the final so stay tuned. You can access this video from iTunes or click the title here and view it or download it from my archives if having trouble viewing here. It may be necessary to wait until the video completes buffering to get a smooth view.
