The path that reactants follow to form the products in a chemical reaction is known as the mechanism of the reaction. It is the slowest [...]
Edman degradation is a chemical method developed by a biochemist, Pehr Edman in 1950. This process is used for labeling or purification of proteins by [...]
The half-life of a substance (atoms, molecules, or ions) refers to the time it takes for half of its given amount to radioactively decay. The [...]
Buffer solutions resist changes in pH. When a small amount of base or acid is added to a solution containing a buffer, it tries to [...]
Heating under reflux is a reaction procedure that involves heating the reactants of a chemical reaction for a specific amount of time while vapors continuously [...]
For a chemical reaction to go on, one of the most important controlling factors is reactants concentration. As the reactant concentration generally decreases with the [...]
“Oxidation is the loss of electrons whereas reduction is the gain of electrons” Note that oxidation and reduction are defined in different terms. This is [...]
There are five basic types of chemical reactions namely synthesis, decomposition, displacement, double displacement, and combustion reactions. Understanding these types of reactions will be useful [...]
Enzymes are biological catalysts. Their activity is measured by the amount of substrate decomposed or the amount of product formed during a reaction. What are [...]
