Physical Properties of Biomolecules

The aim of this experiment was to determine the relative solubility of a group of molecules. We examine the polarity of given molecules and understand the basic knowledge behaviour of large molecular complexes.

Different molecules have different molecular structures and due to this some are hydrophobic, hydrophilic and amphipathic. As shown in the results for instance cholesterol is insol in H20, P. Sol in Acetone and Insol Heptane. This indicates that the molecular structure is formed in a way that it is very insoluble, which can be used to play a major role in biochemistry. We understand more polar groups a molecule has the more soluble it is, and the more non polar the less soluble it is.
