Chemical Degradation of Albumin through Light Absorbance Mariel Melchor, Itzae Facio, Sarahi Iturriaga, Sarai Chairez, Evelyn Tovanche University of Texas at El Paso BIOL 1107 October 9, 2014 Horacio Gonzalez Abstract In this enzyme lab, we worked to observe enzymatic activity by measuring how fast pepsin degrades albumin by observing the changes in absorbance of albumin using a spectrophotometer. The wavelength set through a spectrophotometer is the controlled variable, which was
BIOFUELS Two problems roused the world’s concern in recent years. One is energy crisis caused by the squandering of petroleum fuel. Second problem is environmental problems such as greenhouse effect, global warming, etc. To deal with such problems, renewable sources, utilization technology and bioenergy production technology have been developed. Bioethanol as one of the biofuel can be blended in different proportions in automobiles with gasoline. Biobutanol is also a new biofuel (Liu, Wang, & Zhang
