Biochemistry

Following high school, I plan to attend a 4-year college and work towards a bachelor’s degree with a major in biology or biochemistry. Afterwards, I hope to complete a doctoral program and ultimately become a professor of biochemistry at a university, alongside conducting and publishing scientific research. I’m greatly interested in all academic subjects and am always open to learn about the topics thrown at me, even those not related to education. I have a natural affinity for subjects both from

It became clear to me in the summer of my junior year of high school that I wanted to pursue the science of biochemistry. It came to me in the wake of my grandmother having a stroke. Being raised by my single mom, my grandmother was always there to help, and we had developed a strong bond. That night I watched as the doctors and nurses worked together to keep my grandmother from dying from internal hemorrhaging. They used strange machines that I had never heard of before, buzzing around every few

You are provided with the following portion of a protocol: • Determine concentration of enzyme stock solution, if unknown, by taking an A280 nm reading of a 1:100 dilution (in water). Use a total volume of 1 ml in the cuvette

Introduction Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms. Amino acids play an important role in biochemistry because amino acids are found in living organisms in both their free forms and bound by amide linkages in peptides and proteins. Amino acids may either be regarded as the components which are found in proteins as they emerge from the ribosome or alternatively they may be considered as the components found in proteins which are sufficient age for

I chose Biochemistry at Clemson to separate and challenge myself academically. Meanwhile, I made sure to keep myself well rounded. I joined an honors fraternity to socialize with people of similar values, where I acquired the position of alumni liaison. I cooked for

I am attending the University of Northern Iowa in the fall with a major in biochemistry. After I graduate from college, I hope to either continue on to medical school to become a doctor, or continue on at a graduate school to get my masters degree as a Physician Assistant. I’ve worked at Faith Lutheran Nursing Home since the week I turned sixteen my sophomore year. Not a lot of kids my age are willing to a work at a nursing home, but I’m really glad I do. It’s a very eye opening experience, especially

diseases. Another course that has greatly influenced me was Cancer Biochemistry. This course reinforced my knowledge of the cycles and pathways occurring in the body and introduced the errors that can occur in these processes leading to cancer. Pharmacy requires a strong knowledge of natural sciences and I feel that my studies in biochemistry have given me a foundation to build upon. In addition to obtaining a B.S in Biochemistry, I will also be obtaining a minor in Business Foundations. This minor

equations. At age sixteen, I could analyze DNA fragments and run a Tollens’ test. At age eighteen, I knew that I wanted to devote my studies to learning how body mechanisms react to varying chemicals. Suitably, I started my college career as a biochemistry major. College started as a great experience for me. I was happy with my major choice; I became involved on campus, took part in volunteer activities, and worked part time. Being interested in the human body and medicine, I started shadowing a

Biochemistry is the Secret of my Future “Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do,” which serves as my personal motto as I find myself a very passionate person, always looking for the top. In addition, having experienced different kinds of adversity, I learned the value of not giving up. In fact, instead of giving up, I worked on prospective solutions to which I struggled with. In spite of this merit, striving for success is always a characteristic of mine. Graduation
