hemical and physical properties of the chemical including the molecular and structural formula and the family of molecules of which this coenzyme is derived from or vitamin transition into.
Make sure you go to the assignment section to the left and look up the topic for your short report. The report is on Coenzymes/vitamins:
In your paper, you will discuss the following:
1. The structure of the coenzyme or vitamin. How does this structure enable a biochemical pathway?
2. Chemical and physical properties of the chemical including the molecular and structural formula and the family of molecules of which this coenzyme is derived from or vitamin transition into.
3. The reason why this substance is of interest to the scientific community and why it is being researched.
4. Research results that have shown the importance of these chemicals in human diets, and what diseases may be associated with the deficit of these chemicals. Both positive and negative results of chemical usage should be investigated.
5. Discuss the methodology of the research (tissue cultures, bioassays, animal studies, etc.)
All information must be cited and you are to submit a reference page with your report. Remember that what is not original to you, MUST be cited. If there are no citations, it will cost you 5 points off your grade. The format and rubrics are as follows:
title page — 5 points
Description of biochemical pathway involved in producing the molecule– 20 points
What is the molecular formula of the coenyme/vitamin– 20 points
The signs and symptoms of the disease associated with vitamin or coenzyme deficiency — 20 points
what has been learned about the importance of the coenzyme/vitamin by scientists as a specific research of interest –20 points
putting information into your own words and citing information accurately –10 points
reference page — 5 points
The 100 will be equivalent to the 10 points. Any points off will be translated in a fraction of the 10 points. Example -20 points will give a grade of 8. A perfect paper will be 10.
