In this activity developed by the Institute of Physics, students use simple diffraction gratings to observe the spectra from different sources, and deduce how scientists can work out which chemicals are present in an exoplanet’s atmosphere. When an exoplanet passes in front of its star, some of the starlight is...

This Unilever Laboratory Experiment, published in 1967, describes a procedure based on the use of 1 -fluoro 2,4 dinitrophenylation (FDNB) as developed by Sanger during his studies on the structure of the protein hormone insulin. In the experiment, two dipeptides are used which contain the same two amino acids but...
