The Biotalks with Anupama

Fermentation techniques covers- batch, fed batch, semi continuous and continuous fermentation techniques

An excellent attempt that must be appreciated.

electrophoresis is used to separate molecules based on charge, charge to mass ratio and based on molecular weight. Agarose gel or Polyacrylamide gels can be used for the same.

Applications are narrated by my dear collegue Dr Mousami.

This episode deals with the 4 levels of protein structure and organization

The primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure and quaternary structure were dealt in detail

This episode is about sequencing of proteins which is determining the sequence in which the amino acids are arranged

All the six steps of sequencing were dealt in detail

This episode is about the IUPAC classification of proteins- simple, complex and derived amino acids

Tis episode narrates about peptide bond. amino group and carboxy group involvement in peptide bond

different peptides and their nomenclature with their biological significance is narrated

It also introduced about protein, an introduction to proteins and their functions

This episode is about optical properties of amino acids, the L and D isomers of amino acids

This episode also deals with physical and chemical properties of amino acids

Emphasis was given to the zwitter ions of amino acids, their pH value and titration curves of amino acids

This episode is about the 20 different amino acids, their representation and their classification

A special mention of additional amino acids which play vital role in metabolism is also mentioned

amino acids are classified in various ways- based on the side chain and its chemical nature, nutritional value, polarity and even nutritional fate of amino acids
