Biotecnologie

Wikibooks, manuali e libri di testo liberi.

Si tratta di un settore disciplinare nel quale la tecnologia è impiegata per la produzione o la modificazione di molecole, per la manipolazione di organismi viventi, in modo da realizzare prodotti e sviluppare processi utili per l'umanità. Le biotecnologie comprendono un'ampia e diversificata gamma di settori di ricerca, che va dalle scienze biologiche, alla chimica, informatica, medicina, medicina veterinaria, scienze agrarie, farmacologiche, ambientali, bioingegneria...

Le Biotecnologie si sono sviluppate a partire dalla scoperta del DNA (acido desossiribonucleico), il materiale genetico di base che regola la composizione delle cellule e lo sviluppo degli organismi viventi.

Il Bio tecnico deve essere una persona in possesso di competenze con la capacità di risolvere problemi e soddisfare il cliente in modo tale che il lavoro svolto sia chiaro e leggibile da tutti. Il Tecnico deve mantenere un blocco note, per mantenere il lavoro e in modo che possa essere passato a qualcun altro per continuare il lavoro svolto. Presentare i risultati in maniera chiara, e lavorare con gli altri per soddisfare gli obiettivi.

Le lettere pH significano "potenza di idrogeno"

L'idrogeno

l'elemento più abbondante nell'universo è l'idrogeno, che costituisce circa 3 / 4 di ogni cosa!

Acidi molto forti rilasciano più protoni, H + (ioni di idrogeno); basi più forti rilasciano piu OH-(ioni idrossido). Sostanze neutre hanno un equilibrio di H + e OH-, ad esempio. Acqua Pura (distillata).

>7 basico -- 7 Neutro -- <7 Acido

A seconda della definizione, un acido è una ione d'idrogeno o donatore di protoni. Una base è un accettatore di ioni d'idrogeno, un donatore di idrossido di ioni o un accettatore di elettroni.

Gli Acidi producono ioni H + in soluzioni acquose, come per la produzione di basi con ioni OH-

[modifica] Buffer and reagent Prep

Chemist use buffers to moderate the pH of a reaction. Buffers stabilize a solution at a specific pH value. Resist pH change when small amounts of acid or alkali are added.

KPO4

KPO4 buffer is highly recommended for most P450 assays (microsomal or recombinant enzymes) with the exception of CYP 2C9 and and 2A6 where a Tris buffer system is more appropriate.

TRIS buffer

TRIS buffers are used by biochemists to control pH in the physiological range (about 7 to 8 pH) because phosphates cause undesirable side reactions with the biological substances in their test samples.


"Good" buffers

These buffers were well received by the research community because "Good" buffers are nontoxic, easy to purify and their pKa is typically between 6.0 and 8.0, the range at which most biological reactions occur.

The "Good" buffers also feature minimal penetration of membranes, minimal absorbance in the 240-700 nm range and minimal effects due to salt, concentration or temperature.


pKa = dissociation constant


In chemistry and biochemistry, a dissociation constant or an ionization constant is a specific type of equilibrium constant used for dissociation (ionizationation) reactions. Dissociation in chemistry and biochemistry is a general process in which complexes, molecules, or salts separate or split into smaller molecules, ions, or radicals, usually in a reversible manner. Dissociation is the opposite of association and recombination.

Inhibits Gram+ Maconkey

This type of agar is used since it is one of the most forgiving media available - it is hard to contaminate, and E. coli usually grow up as red colonies.

(Almost all spore forming bacteria are Gram-positive, but these cannot grow on MacConkey agar because of the detergent in it (bile salts), and very few Gram-negative bacteria can tolerate either the initial dryness of the plates, or the boiling temperatures needed to make the MacConkey agar. Also, while fungal spores can tolerate the dryness, they cannot tolerate the boiling.)

This is an agar upon which only Gram-negative bacteria can grow

It uses light in the visible and adjacent near ultraviolet (UV) and near infrared (NIR) ranges. In this region of energy space molecules undergo electronic transitions.

[modifica] Gel Electrophoresis

Gel electrophoresis is a method that separates macromolecules-either nucleic acids or proteins-on the basis of size, electric charge, and other physical properties.

materials

Two basic types
agarose and polyacrylamide

agarose

Agarose is a natural colloid extracted from sea weed It is very fragile and easily destroyed by handling Agarose gels have very large "pore" size and are used primarily to separate very large molecules wiht a molecular mass greater than 200 kdal Agarose gels can be processed faster than polyacrylamide gels, but their resolution is inferior.

Agarose is a linear polysaccharide (average molecular mas about 12,000) made up of the basic repeat unit agarobiose, which comprises alternating units of galactose and 3,6-anhydrogalactose. Agarose is usually used at concentrations between 1% and 3%. Agarose is a chain of sugar molecules, and is extracted from seaweed.

Perhaps you have seen the terms TBE or TAE.

These are names of two commonly used buffers in electrophoresis.

The "T" stands for Tris, a chemical which helps maintain a consistent pH of the solution.

The "E" stands for EDTA, which itself is another anacronym. EDTA chelates (gobbles up) divalent cations like magnesium. This is important because most nucleases require divalent cations for activity, and you certainly wouldn't want any stray nucleases degrading your sample while it's running through the gel, would you?

Finally, the "B" or "A" stand for Boric acid or Acetic acid, which provide the proper ion concentration for the buffer.

polyacrylamide

The polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) technique was introduced by Raymond and Weintraub (1959).

Polyacrylamide is the same material that is used for skin electrodes and in soft contact lenses.

provide a wide variety of electrophoretic conditions:

By controlling the percentage (from 3% to 30%), precise pore sizes can be obtained, usually from 5 to 2,000 kdal. Polyacrylamide gels can be cast in a single percentage or with varying gradients Polyacrylamide gels offer greater flexibility and more sharply defined banding than agarose gels.

Jones claims that technologies like genetic engineering will never be as powerful as is popularly believed."

Escherichia coli, a subgroup of fecal coliform bacteria that is present in the intestinal tracts and feces of warm-blooded animals.

It is used as an indicator of the potential presence of pathogens. There are many different strains of E. coli that are classified into more than 170 serogroups.

Although most strains of E. coli are harmless and live in the intestines of healthy humans and animals, the E. coli O157:H7 strain produces a powerful toxin and can cause severe illness.

Its presence in groundwater is a common indicator of fecal contamination.

("Enteric" is the adjective that describes organisms that live in the intestines. "Fecal" is the adjective for organisms that live in feces, so it is often a synonym for "enteric.") The name comes from its discoverer, Theodor Escherich.
