Olivia Hatcher – Biochemistry – Week 5
This week I mostly focused on data analysis. I used the data I collected last week about Cytochrome C. Using the Index of refraction I found using the refractometer I found the concentration of Urea within the different sample I made. In addition, I used the data collected from the UV Vis machine to find […]
Olivia Hatcher – Biochemistry – Week 4
I started this week off with a wonderful 4th of July. I was able to enjoy a ferry ride to Coronado Island with my host family as well as the fabulous parade at Coronado filled with flair and fun. We then had some gyros, took the ferry back to down town San Diego and biked […]
Olivia Hatcher – Biochemistry – Week 3
This week was very fun. I started off with some data analysis, where I graphed some data from last week, along with the different concentrations of NATA, L-Trip and Indole. This was interesting because I found that the pH of the solution does not greatly affect the epsilon, or the absorption The calculated epsilon (part […]
Olivia Hatcher – Biochemistry – Week 2
This week was great! I started the week off with some data analysis where I made graphs on excel using the data I collected from the experiment last week. Then, I continued to work in the lab where I made more samples using my KPI buffer and different amounts of a NATA stock and L-Tryptophan […]
Olivia Hatcher – Biochemistry – Week 1
My name is Olivia Hatcher, and I am studying biochemistry at UCSD this summer. My first week has been some what crazy between my wonderful host family and my internship. The first couple of days of my internship were filled with paper work and safety trainings. Once I completed those, I learned some new chemistry […]
