Phywe in the University City of Göttingen –

Natural sciences have a longstanding tradition in Göttingen. More than 40 Nobel prize winners coming from all sorts of scientific disciplines and numerous university institutes successfully conduct research in practically all areas of science.

The following research institutions and university institutes are located in Göttingen: Academy of Science, several Max-Planck institutes, the German Primate Centre, the Centre of Molecular Physiology of the Brain, the Centre of Molecular Life Science – to name just a few.

We are in contact with these institutions and exchange our views with them to ensure that the latest trends and scientific innovations are always reflected in the product range of Phywe Systeme GmbH & Co. KG.

A Center of Natural Sciences in Germany

GÖTTINGEN is a city of teaching and research. Scientific equipment, teaching equipment and laboratory installations developed and produced in this city are famous throughout the world. Göttingen would not be what it is without its university. “Georgia Augusta” was founded in 1734 and by 1777 it was Germany‘s largest university, with 700 students. It still is one of the leading universities in Germany, with 14 faculties, significant scientific facilities and more than 30,000 students. The gracious Goose Girl (“Gänseliesel”) on the market place fountain is the most kissed girl in Germany. Why? Because every newly graduated doctor must kiss the cold beauty on her bronze mouth. That is Göttingen tradition. Doctor’s kiss for the Goose Girl

Procedure (using the Basic-Unit) — Call up the COBRA3 MEASURE programme in Windows — Enter PRESSURE as measuring instrument — Set the measurement parameters (see Fig. 2) and go to measurement with CONTINUE — Cut off a stem from the water-weed and place it in the test tube with the cut end upwards — Prepare 300 ml of 3% NaHCO3 solution (9 g to 300 g distilled water) and fill the test tube up with it to just under the rim — Briefly remove the tubing from the pressure module nipple, close the test tube with the rubber stopper so firmly that it does not leak, then re-connect the tubing to the pressure module. Caution! Do not allow any liquid to enter the pressure module! — Switch on the lamp and start measurement — For the second experiment, use the dyes to prepare a green solution (one spatula tip each of the yellow and the blue dye made up to 1000 ml with water) and fill the beaker with it. Prior to measurement, remove the stopper to allow the gas which has formed to escape — For the third experiment, wrap the test tube with aluminium foil so that no light at all is incident on the plant. Prior to measurement, remove the stopper to allow the gas which has formed to escape

12.01 Determination of the isoelectric point of an amino acid (glycine) What you can learn about Isoelectric point Acidic anions Basic cations Zwitterions Equivalence (inflection) points pKs value Titration Motor piston burette

Principle and tasks: Amino acid molecules carry both acid and amino groups. They can therefore form both acidic anions and basic cations. The pH at which these two types of ions are both present in the same concentration is called the isoelectric point. This point is to be determined by recording the titration curve for the amino acid glycine.

The ionic permeability of the cell membrane 12.02 What you can learn about Ionic permeability Artificial cell membrane Dialysis tube H+ ions OH- ions Osmotic processes

Principle and tasks: The cell membrane controls the transport of nutrients and water into the cell, and of waste products and water out of the cell. This can take place passively, e.g. on the basis of osmotic processes (differences in concentration), as well as actively. In this experiment, the selective permeability of an artificial cell membrane (dialysis tube) for H+ and OH- ions is to be examined.

12.03 Determination of the Michaelis constant What you can learn about Michaelis constant Enzymatic hydrolysis of urea Conductivity measurement Bodenstein principle Enzyme-substrate complex Lineweaver-Burk plot

Principle and tasks: The enzymatic hydrolysis of urea in aqueous solution liberates carbon dioxide and ammonia. The ions of these compounds increase the conductivity of the solution. Conductivity measurements can be used to determine the rate of hydrolysis of urea by the enzyme urease at various substrate concentrations. The Michaelis constant can then be calculated from these values.
