Draw the first tetrahedral intermediate of the chymotrypsin mechanism (a single structure, no arrows required). Circle the oxyanion hole. How does the oxyanion hole of chymotrypsin compare to that of carboxypeptidase?
A bacterial culture is grown using either octadecane (C18H38) or pentachlorophenol (C6HOCI5)) as the sole source of carbon and energy. The cell yield value is determined by dry weight analysis to be 1.49 for octadecane and 0.05 for pentachlorophenol. Using either octadecane or pentachlorophenol, please describe the steps taken (and the final result) showing what percentage of the substrate carbon will be found as cell mass and as CO2?
The active site of an enzyme that uses a general acid-base catalytic mechanism contains a Glu and an Asp residue (both of which are essential for catalysis) with pKa values of 5.9 and 4.5, respectively. If the enzyme is found in the lysosome (pH = 5.2), which residue will act as the general acid and which will act as the general base during the initial steps of the reaction?
In biological systems, enzymes are used to accelerate the rates of certain bio- logical reactions. Glucoamylase is an enzyme that aids in the conversion of starch to glucose (a sugar that cells use for energy). Experiments show that 1 pg mol of glucoamylase in a 4% starch solution results in a production rate of glucose of 0.6 ug mol/(mL)(min). Determine the production rate of glucose for this system in the units of Ib mol/(ft³)(day). Ibmol Answer: 0.0639 ft day True False
We humans do not express an alpha-Galactosidase enzyme and therefore cannot break down stachyose but the bacteria that live in our large intestine can. These bacteria contain an alpha-Galactosidase enzyme that hydrolyzes the galactopyranosyl-alpha (1-6) glycosidic bonds. The bacteria then ferment the products to generate the gas that is famously associated with eating beans. Draw the Haworth projections of the products of alpha-Galactosidase catalyzed reaction. Name the products of this enzyme catalyzed reaction.
A bacterial culture is grown using either octadecane (C18H38) or pentachlorophenol (C6HCl5O) as the sole source of carbon and energy. The cell yield value is determined by dry weight analysis to be 1.49 for octadecane and 0.05 for pentachlorophenol. Using either octadecane or pentachlorophenol, please describe the steps taken (and the final result) showing what percentage of the substrate carbon will be found as cell mass and as CO2? Please show all calculations.
Cyclophosphamide, after reconstitution, has a concentration of 20 mg/mL. The patient, who weighs 67 kg and is 155 cm tall, is ordered cyclophosphamide in 250 mL NS. How many mL will be added to the bag?
What type of polymer is being formed in Reaction #3? Name an enzyme that can catalyze Reaction #3. Is Reaction #3 favorable under mammalian cellular conditions when the concentration of dGTP is 0.2 M, dCMP is 20 mM, dGMP-dCMP is 7 mM, and PPi is 10 mM? Use △G to support your answer. Show steps
A galvanic cell at a temperature of 25.0 °C is powered by the following redox reaction: 2+ 2+ Sn(aq) +Ba(s) → Sn (s) + Ba** (aq) 2+ 2+ Suppose the cell is prepared with 7.71 M Sn in one half-cell and 5.89 MBa in the other. Calculate the cell voltage under these conditions. Round your answer to 3 significant digits.
A flat (not spherical) tissue engineered skin (thickness 2.5 mm) is attached to the bottom of a dish and cultured with cell media atop it (which has an oxygen concentration of 0.15 mol/m3). The diffusivity of oxygen in the skin is 3.4 E-9 m2/s, and according to experiments that you’ve performed, you want to make sure that the concentration of oxygen in the device doesn’t fall below 0.06 mol/m3. (Below that concentration harms the cells.) The rate of oxygen consumption is -5.9 E-17 mol/[cell◦s]. What is the maximum cellularity (in cells/mL, three significant digits) that this tissue engineered skin can support?
Mike has determined that enzyme he is attempting to purify has an isoelectric point of 4.5 (pI = 4.5). He has decided to examine anion exchange chromatography as a potential purification step. He tested out using 2 different buffer and linear NaCl gradient on HPLC (like what you did). His results are shown below. Which buffer should Mike uses for his purification (both buffer has pH higher than enzyme’s pI)? Why?
Gel Running Buffer is made and kept at 14X concentration for storage. We will need 1.5 L of this solution at a concentration of 1X to run our gels. How would we make this solution? I am having trouble understanding the steps to this question, if you could please help me understand it that would be greatly appreciated!
