The measurement of LDH in the serum can be used to diagnose whether tissue damage hasoccurred.Students were tasked with the development of an assay for LDH activity in human serum samplesfrom a control patient (healthy) and a patient who had suffered cardiac damage. Two samples wereprovided, labelled C and D (Control and Diseased serum).The students decided to follow the loss of absorbance of NADH in an appropriate assay buffercontaining pyruvate as the substrate. Q1 (a) By examining the absorbance spectra(in the image attached) of both NAD+ and NADH below, comment why this approach is suitable strategy. Q1 (b). What would be the optimum wavelength at which they should measure absorbance? Give a reason for your answer. The students conducted the assay for LDH activity using the two serum samples. Each cuvette (path length 1 cm) contained 3ml of a suitable assay buffer (including pyruvate as substrate). 20 microlitres of either serum was added to the cuvette and the absorbance values…

How does the shape of a titration curve confirm the fact that the pH region of greatest buffering power for an amino acid solution is around its pK's? Name four factors (bonds or other forces) that contribute to stabilizing the native structure of a protein, and describe one condition or reagent that interferes with each type of stabilizing force. Why is silk fibroin so strong, but at the same time so soft and flexible?
Proteins are thermodynamically unstable molecules since the Delta G of hydrolysis is quite negative. However, most proteins are not degraded unless they come into contact with proteases in cells. What is the reasoning for this paradox? The reaction is endergonic and will not proceed without energy. There is very little water inside cells to react with protein molecules. The free energy change doesn't reveal anything about the rate of the reaction. The concentration of proteins are low which allows them to be more stable.
