The following points highlight the top three ways for separating amino acids from peptides. The ways are: 1. Paper Chromatography 2. Electrophoresis 3. Ion Exchange Chromatography. Separating Amino Acids from Peptides: Way # 1. Paper Chromatography: a. A small volume (about 0.005 ml containing about 0.01 mg) of amino acid is applied at a marked point 5 cm from the [...]
The following points highlight the top three types of lipids. The types are: 1. Simple Lipids 2. Compound Lipids 3. Derived Lipids. Type # 1. Simple Lipids: A. Fats: (a) They are esters of fatty acids with glycerol. (b) They are found in nature in large quantities. (c) They are the best reserve of food material in the human body. [...]
The below mentioned article provides a study note on Amino Acids:- 1. Common Properties of Amino Acids 2. Physical Properties of Amino Acids 3. Chemical Reactions. Common Properties of Amino Acids: 1. Pro-tonic Equilibria of Amino Acids: (a) Amino acids have at least two ionizable groups i.e. -COOH and –NH+3. The former dissociates more easily than the latter. In solution, [...]
