Chromatography of Amino Acids Chemistry Kit (Supplies for 15 Groups) Students will perform a chromatography experiment in order to identify the amino acids within an unknown proteinThe chromatography will be run for three known amino acids and one unknown proteinHands-on experience with chemical techniquesIncludes enough material for fifteen groups of studentsKit includes teacher's manual, student study guide copy masters, and safety data sheets for all included materials Amino acids are the fundamental building blocks of proteins. To learn which amino acids make up a given protein, scientists separate the amino acids using chromatography. Students will perform this same technique using three known amino acids and one unknown protein. By comparing the travel rate and distance of the amino acids, the composition of the protein can be ascertained. This kit contains enough material for up to 15 groups of students. Aligned to Next Generation Science Standards HS-PS1-3 and MS-PS1-2, and explores patterns as a cross cutting concept. In addition to the materials in the kit, a teacher's manual, student study guide copy masters, and safety data sheets are included.
