Kemtec Science Protein Kit - Explore Physical Properties of Proteins for Biochemistry Labs & Science Education | Perfect for Classroom Experiments & STEM Learning

Product Description

Kemtec Science: Physical Properties of Proteins

• Target Grades: 9-14
• Number of Students: 24 students working in six groups of four

This kit demonstrates the important effects of physical parameters such as temperature, pH, salt concentration, and dielectric constants on proteins and illustrates how these effects are used in the isolation and purification of proteins. A protein amino acid composition and structure influence its physical characteristics. Experiments include: Isoelectric Precipitation of Casein, Separation of Albumin and Gelatin by Ammonium Sulfate Fractionation, Effects of Acetone on Albumin and Gelatin Solutions, Heat Denaturation of Albumin, and Precipitation of Protein by Lead Acetate. Contains lead acetate.
