Essays on Chemical Reaction

Endometritis is described as inflammation of the innermost layer of the uterus and limited to the endometrium. Endometrial inflammation involves disruption of the epithelium layer, increased blood flow or edema in the uterus, and an influx of inflammatory cells, mostly neutrophils, and lymphocytes. The normal...

In their article, Wang (2018) discusses the burst in chemical reactions within the radical S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) superfamily. The inspiration for this discussion came from a substantial increase in the total number of radical SAM sequences and enzymes from ~114, 000 to 255, 000 in November...

Antioxidants are substances that utilize oxygen to decrease or lessen harmful damages to the human body, such as cancer. Known substances of antioxidants are vitamin C, vitamin E, and Beta carotene which are utilized for examining the harmful effects of oxidation. The antioxidant properties of...

Heavy metal contamination of bodies of water can the stunt growth and development of a range of flora, as well as negatively shift the environment and affect fauna. Current methods of metal extraction through adsorption are costly, initiating research into cheaper, more environmentally friendly alternatives....

Tyrosinase is a copper-containing enzyme responsible for melanin pigment biosynthesis. However, the detailed structure of human tyrosinase has not yet been resolved, along with the identification of the key sites for its catalytic activity. We used site-directed mutagenesis to identify the critical residues for the...

Copper is a mineral with a pure melting point of 1083 degrees Celsius, making it useful in electrical wiring. Because of its high value, it is often stolen. Australia is a major exporter of copper, making this mineral important for Australia’s economy. This report will...

My element is copper, copper got its name from Kupras Greek for Cyprus. Copper is a red-brown material used for different things like jewelry, the penny and many other things. Copper has 19 protons, 35 neutrons and 29 electrons. Its atomic number and mass is...

Copper, noted by the chemical formula Cu, is a non silicate native element, meaning it is a mineral composed of one single element. Copper is very unique. It is the only mineral that is truly copper in color, it is the second most electrically conductive...

In past few decades, paraffin (wax) deposition has created numerous production problems in many of the world’s oil-producing regions. Often the problem is more severe for offshore fields where solutions to rectify wax precipitation can be very costly. Due to the various difficulties and expenses...
