The proteasome [2]: animation of the process

An animation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system


 The following animation from the text book "The Cell: A Molecular Approach, Fifth edition - Geoffrey M. Cooper/Robert E. Hausman" is very very handy to understand the process of the ubiquitin-tagging of proteins and following the degradation of this protein. 

 Note: very basic animation; narrated can be easier to understand.

Alkynen: Elektrofiele additie

Elektrofiele additie: Waterstofhaliden op alkynen Voorbeeld van waterstofhaliden: HCl, HBr, HF, HI Gebruik van één equivalent waterstofhalide met alkyn (dus 1:1 geen overmaat geen tekort) Bij een overmaat aan het waterstofhalide zal een tweede reactie plaatsvinden op het gehalogeneerde alkyn, ter vorming van een geminaal regioisomeer.

Alkanes and radicals 4: Additionreactions of radicals

Alkanes and radicals Addition of radicals on an alkene Look at the two reactions below, the first reaction is in normal circumstances, which will result in a normal Markovnikov reaction  ( with the addition of a   protic acid  HX to an  alkene , the acid hydrogen (H) becomes attached to the carbon with fewer   alkyl   substituents , and the  halide  (X) group becomes attached to the carbon with more alkyl substituents). In the second reaction, peroxide is used as condition, this will result in an anti-Markovnikov  reaction. The peroxide will generate Br radicals in small amounts (this is the initiation for this anti-reaction).  Let's see the peroxide mechanism in detail. As stated above, an alkyl peroxide is a radical initiator. The electrophile will add on the sp2 carbon which carries the most hydrogens (where also the radical with most alkyl groups will be formed). The termination reactions will have several other outcomes. In the major outcome, the radical will not b

Meadowsweet under the microscope - 1

We acquired some meadowsweet powder and put it under a microscope, following the standard procedure of the European Pharmacopeia (using some droplets of a chloralhydrate solution (80 g in 20 mL)), heating followed by cooling, to minimize the crystallization process of chloralhydrate. Namely a phase contrast microscope.  What we saw was a lot of irrecognisable structures, cells, celldebris, trichoma's (hairs), stoma, ..., but fascinating nonetheless.
