If a particular cell type requires two passes through a Manton-Gaulin homogenizer to achieve a R of at least 0.90, what is the minimum number of passes required to achieve a disruption of at least 0.95 (if the operating pressure and temperature remain the same)? Explain what is meant by the extent of cell disruption is 0.9.

Two co-op students at your start-up company have been asked to evaluate the rate of reaction occurring in a transparent gel particle containing immobilized mouse melanoma cells. The equation for the reaction rate ris is: Vmax T'As Km+CAs where R=3.2 mm, Vmax= 0.12 gmol s' m3, CAS = 41 gmol m3, and Km=0.8 gmol m3. One student reports a reaction rate of 1.6x10 gmol st; the other reports 1.6x10 1º gmol s1. You left your calculator on the bus this morning, but must know quickly which student is correct. Use an order-of- magnitude calculation to identify the right answer. Which student is correct?

= A different Fab fragment binds to lysozyme with a dissociation constant of Ka 10-6 M. A 1 nM (10-9 M) solution of lysozyme is treated with increasing concentrations of this Fab fragment. At what concentration of added Fab will half of the lysozyme be bound to this Fab? [F] = ab M
Calculate the amount of GFP in grams produced in the 25-L fermentation used to generate cells for your homogenization lab. To do this problem, recall that for the homogenization step, E. coli cell paste was suspended in Tris buffer, the resulting cell suspension was homogenized. For this calculation, assume that the concentration of GFP in the clarified lysate is 2.0 mg GFP/mL solution. The concentration of cells in the 25-L fermentation was 8% by volume.
Following is a Dixon plot for PNPP inhibition by inorganic phosphates. What answer choice shows the correct combination of the mode of inhibition and Ki of the EI complex?
A variety of organic chelating ligands have been synthesized to tightly coordinate radioactive metal cations to identify and treat malig- nancies by coupling the metal complex to a polypeptide linker attached to a monoclonal antibody that binds specifically to a cell surface re- ceptor. One such metal complex is illustrated in the diagram on the right. The radioactive Cu-64 cation is tightly coordinated by the che- lating ligand that is, in turn, conjugated to a peptide linker attached to a monoclonal antibody. (The antibody is not shown in this diagram.) When coupled to a specifically designed monoclonal antibody, the complex binds specifically to somatostatin receptors that are ex- pressed on the surface of neuroendocrine tumors. Subsequently the entire complex with the receptor is internalized, i.e., passed into the cytoplasm, where the radioactive metal cation kills the malignant cell. 1.

The enzyme lysozyme kills certain bacteria by attacking a sugar called N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) in their cell walls. At an enzyme concentration of 2 × 10-6 M, the maximum rate for substrate (NAG) reaction, found at high substrate concentration, is 1 × 10-6 mol L¯'s1. The rate is reduced by a factor of 2 when the substrate concentration is reduced to 6 x 10-6 M. Determine the Michaelis-Menten constants Km and k, for lysozyme.
A sample of a protein is analyzed by CE using a neutral-coated capillary with a total length of 25.0 cm and a distance to the detector of 22.0 cm. Using an applied voltage of 20.0 kV, the protein was detected at a migration time of 16.2 min. The diffusion coefficient for the protein is 2.4 x 10-7 cm?/s. (a) Calculate the apparent electrophoretic mobility of the protein. (b) Calculate the expected number of theoretical plates for the analysis.

The folding and unfolding rate constants for a myoglobin mutant have been determined. The unfolding rate constant ke-u = 3.62 x 10-55 and the folding rate constant ku-p = 255 s1, where Fis the folded protein and U is the unfolded (denatured) protein. For wild-type myoglobin, AG;u = +37.4 kJ/mol. Which myoglobin is more thermodynamically stable, the mutant or the wild-type?

When the terminal phosphate is cleaved from the adenosine triphosphate molecule, the products are adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate, ATP + H2O ––> ADP + Pi, where Pi stands for the various forms of phosphate that exist at the pH of the particular solution. If the total concentration of Pi is 2.5 x 10–2M, what are the concentrations of the predominant forms of phosphate that exist at pH 7.4?
