Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 16P
Suppliers of radioisotopically labeled compounds usually provide each product as a mixture Of labeled and unlabeled material. Unlabeled material is added deliberately as a carrier, partly because the specific activity of the carrier-free product is too high to be useful and partly because the product is more stable at lower specific activities. Using the radioactive decay law, calculate the
following.
a. The specific activity Of carrier-free [22P]-orthophosphate, in mCi/mmol.
b. The fraction Of H atoms that are radioactive in a preparation Of uniform-label [3H]-leucine, provided at 10 mCi/mmol.
Predict the product(s) of the following reactions:

A purified protein sample was used in a reaction, resulting in an activity of 696.7 nmol min-1. The reaction volume was 145.0 µL and the final volume before loading the plate was 1,050 µL. The total reaction time was 4.25 min. The amount of protein used in the reaction was 4.270 µg. Calculate the specific activity of the sample (in nmol min-1 µg-1).

Consequently, scientific notation and logarithms are often used to express concentrations. In scientific notation, numbers are expressed as coefficient x 10" To convert a number to scientific notation, proceed as follows: 1. Move the decimal place so that there is one digit in front of the decimal. 2. Account for the moved decimal in the value of x. If the decimal moved to the right, x is negative; if it moved to the left, x is positive. A logarithm is basically an exponent. Unless otherwise indicated, a logarithm is the a of 10". The numbers after the decimal point are significant; the number before the decimal just identify the location of the decimal point for the number. Notice that it is easy to estimate a logarithm from scientific notation; it's the exponent! Logarithms are commonly used to express the concentration of H. The pH is defined as pH= log (In), where the base number is 2.303. The same general rules as logs…arrow_forwardStoichiometric equations can be used to represent the growth of microorganisms provided a 'molecular formula' for the cells is available. The molecular formula for biomass is obtained by measuring the amounts of C, N, H, O, and other elements in cells. 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. The reaction equation describing growth is: 1 C16H34 + 16.28 O2 +1.42 NH3 → 1.65 C4.4H7.301.2No.86 + 8.74 CO2+ 13.11 H20 You are in charge of a small batch fermenter for growing the bacteria you need to produce 8.2 kg of cells for inoculation of a pilot-scale reactor. a) What minimum amount of hexadecane substrate (in kg) must be contained in your culture medium?
