Griffith college Tri1 2023/1015 MSC (Chem2)16 [WEEK12] The Chemistry of Medicine ORIGINS OF DRUGS Plants and plant derivatives are the major sources of drugs. NOTE: (Infographics shown below as examples and for your interest only - not examinable) Plant-based drugs account for approximately 30% of all pharmaceuticals. A number of medicines (including tablets, injections, capsules, creams, mixtures and vaccines) contain animal products or are animal derived. Microbial product.. 2023. 5. 27. [WEEK12] The Chemistry of Exercise -ATP is the energy currency of the cell -Dephosphorylation of ATP (removal of P) releases energy -ATP is produced by cells by breaking down the food we eat in a process known as cellular respiration -Muscles utilise ATP to power contraction through Actin-Myosin cross bridge recycling -> FOR MUSCLE CONTRACTION , ATP is used as an ENERGY SOURCE -> ATP is produced by CELLULAR RESPIRATION < FUELS of.. 2023. 5. 26. [WEEK11] Nucleic Acids Molecules of heredity Within the cell, the nucleus contains chromosomes made of protein and a single molecule of the nucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).. Passed from parents to offspring, DNA contains the specific instructions that make each type of living creature unique. The unique structure of chromosomes keeps DNA tightly wrapped around spool-like proteins, called histones. Without su.. 2023. 5. 16. [WEEK10] Enzymes, Metals in Biological System & Chemistry of Medicine Continue from previous post ~micromineral, metalloenzyme, metal in medicine Microminerals The microminerals Many elements are essential to our bodies in trace amounts. Trace elements (or trace minerals) are usually defined as minerals that are required in amounts between 1 and 100 mg/day by adults or make up less than 0.01% of the total body weight. Some of these are metals. Six of the essential.. 2023. 5. 13. 이전 1 2 3 4 다음 반응형
