C16H34 + 16.28 O2 +1.42 NH3 → 1.65 C4.4H7.301.2No.86 + 8.74 CO2 + 13.11 H2O For a particular bacterial strain, the molecular formula was determined to be C4.4H7.301.2No.86. These bacterial cells are grown under aerobic conditions with hexadecane (C16H34) as substrate. Assume that 60% of the hexadecane is used for producing cells (also called biomass) and the remaining 40% of the hexadecane is used for other cell functions. You have been put in charge of a small batch fermenter for growing the bacteria and aim to produce 10 kg of cells for inoculation of a pilot-scale reactor. a) Assuming this 60% conversion, what is the yield of cells from hexadecane in kg/kg?

The table contains data about how different ASFV mutants affect enzyme activity-- for example the D29A mutant, where the D at position 29 was mutated to an A. Select three mutants at random, and for each mutant explain how that mutation could affect intermolecular force interactions (an example: hydrogen bonding could be disrupted by this mutation because…

Hemoglobin is considered to be a tetrameric complex with a 64 kDa (α β)2. When attempting to purify hemoglobin, we must first purify the α and β monomers (about 16 kDa each) to prepare the tetramer. This is formed from the dimer intermediate: 2 α + 2 β -> 2 αβ -> (α β)2. The graph given represents a size-exclusion chromatogram after the refolding of the hemoglobin tetramer Using the size-exclusion chromatogram given, 1. Draw an SDS-Page Gel with a reducing agent such as BME using the three peaks listed on the graph.
Consider the reaction catalyzed by PFK. In the presence of AMP, which of the following will be expected? Check all that apply: a)The Km for substrate would be decreased b) the initial velocity plot would show the curve shifted to the right c) the R state is stabilized d)the rate of the reaction is diminished
Imagine that a mutation has been discovered in the HBA1 gene, where amino acid residue # 1 in the alpha subunit is changed from valine to lysine. The structure of these two amino acids is shown below. How would this mutation affect the mobility of HbA in the gel?a) HbA with this mutation would have the same mobility as normal HbAb) HbA with this mutation would have the same mobility as HbSc) HbA with this mutation would have a faster mobility than normal HbA O d) HbA with this mutation would have a mobility somewhere in between HbS and normal HbA
