Biochemistry January 2009

Hello 2011

2011-01-07T23:44:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year to all! :)

It's been a while since I posted something. Hehe.

So, some reminders for you;

1. Make sure you've got your correct subjects registered this semester!

(Please log on to Facebook for the timetable and subjects)

2. Final Year Project Research!

Have you done the necessary things?

3. Our class "catching up" dinner! Click "Yes, I am Attending" on Facebook!

Yew Wai has changed the date and time for those who have not noticed it.

Come and let's catch up after 3 months of Industrial Training! :)

And please be a sport by lending a hand to the organising committee,

we're not going to ask you to cut down a jungle of trees :)

4. Your final reports for IT. And presentation.

Make sure it's done!

Oh, and do us BE Jan 2009 peeps a favour, spunk it up,

because we'll go give our support to you if you're presenting.

No one wants a boring presentation :D

5. Gear up for the new semester!

Here we go again,

Our final year.

Let's go through this together :)

Industrial Training Time

2010-11-15T19:47:00.000-08:00

Well, everyone is off to their own respective company for their training. Hope everyone have a nice time doing their training.

Year 2 Semester 2

2010-05-29T00:45:00.000-07:00

A start of a new sem in 31th of June. So let's get ready for it. Molecular Biology as we all know will be taught by our Metabolism lecturer again. Other lecturer, we will just have to wait and find out.

Industrial training is giving me a headache as well. UTAR did not give us enough time to get ready whether we can receive the reply from the company we find ourself and if we did not get it, we can't choose from the UTAR list so this is quite the trouble.

I know next sem will be another one like Y2S1 as well. So we will have to work a lot harder.

Metabolism Exp 3 Question

2010-02-06T23:11:00.000-08:00

Alright, I have found the answer for the question but I'm not sure if it's correct. Wrong don't belasah me lah. XD

Question 1

You correct the absorbance so that you won't get any inteference from other UV absorbing material from the sample.

That's my answer lah. You change it a bit and add your own words lah.

Question 2:

It takes about 3 hours like that to fully metabolize the paracetamol. So after 6 hours, the blood sample taken is no use already since it's more than 3 hours.

Well, hope that helps.

New Semester and A New Year

2010-01-13T03:26:00.001-08:00

Hello hello everyone. It's been so long since we update this blog. I hope people are still reading this. Congratulation to everyone as we have made it to second year, our sophomore years. Hope all of you can enjoy the life as a university student.

Though the road may be tough this year but we can do it if we stand by each other.

Important things to do

2009-06-06T03:55:00.000-07:00

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT forget to pay your student bill before the due date (12 June 2009) or you'll loose RM5 for every week you are overdue, plus the hassle of only being able to pay it at the Division of Finance.

You can pay online via PbeBank.

They charge RM1 for every successful transaction.

For those taking Computer Systems and Applications, do download next week's practical from
WBLE.

And as for those taking the elective Basic Professional Writing, don't forget to get started on your assignments! :)

As for now, enjoy your weekend! :)

The Buffer Report

2009-02-21T20:05:00.000-08:00

Alright, I have found out what was needed in the discussion for the buffer thing.

I will just simplify it here so everyone will know what to write and expect.

A buffer will have a greater buffering capacity if the pKa value is closer to the pH of the buffer. The pKa value of the Tris-HCl is 8.30. The pKa for THCl will decline 0.03unit per degree celcius rise in temperature. So from this, you will know how to find the discussion for Experiment 4) i)pH and iii)temperature.

The higher the concentration of a buffer, the higher the buffering capacity.

Now all I need to know is, did anyone write down what the teacher wrote in the board that day. How much sucrose did you all add into the Tris-HCl that day? Please. Seriously need an answer.

Please tell me about it in the comment.
