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 immediately recorded at the optimum wavelength for a period of 5 minutes (absorbance readings taken every 30 seconds). Protein concentration of serum sample (mg/ml) Change in absorbance at optimum wavelength per minute Control serum (C) 8 -0.04 Diseased serum (D) 7.8 -0.6 1c. Using the molar absorption coefficient of NADH as 6220 M-1 cm-1, and by application of the Beer-Lambert law, estimate the enzyme activity in the two samples (C and D). Express activity as moles per second. 1d. Estimate the specific activity of the two samples (moles per second per microgram).

22-30. (a) The mean free path is the average distance a molecule travels before colliding with another molecule. The mean free path, A, is given by A = kT/(V20P), where k is Boltzmann’s constant, T is temperature (K), P is pressure (Pa), and o is the collision cross section. For a molecule with a diameter d, the col- lision cross section is nd. The collision cross section is the area swept out by the molecule within which it will strike any other molecule it encounters. The magnetic sector mass spectrometer is maintained at a pressure of ~103 Pa so that ions do not collide with (and deflect) one another as they travel through the mass analyzer. What is the mean free path of a molecule with a diam- eter of 1 nm at 300 K in the mass analyzer?
A Dubosq colorimeter consists of a cell of fixed path length and a cell of variable path length. By adjusting the length of the latter until the transmission through the two cells is the same. the concentration of the second solution can be inferred from that of the former. Suppose that a plantdye of concentration 25 μg dm-3 is added to the fixed cell. the length of which is 1.55 em. Then a solution of the same dye. but of unknown concentration. is added to the second cel l. It is found that the same t ransmittance is obtained when the length of the second cel l is adjusted to 1.18 em. What is the concentration of the second solution?
Estimate the concentration of nitrate in the aquarium water. Aquarium water was diluted from 1 mL to 100 mL, and the final solution contains the same 10 ppm of internal standard IO2 4 as in the standard mixture. For an estimate, use peak height instead of peak area. There is no need to use normalized peak area 5 peak area/migration time because migration times are nearly the same in both electropherograms.
