(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason for the rapid rise in lactate concentration.

Introduction:

Intensive workout by muscles utilizes oxygen from the blood at faster rate, resulting in decrease in the level of oxygen for other reactions. The molecule of glucose is then converted into pyruvic acid in the absence of oxygen to produce two molecules of ATP which keeps the muscle going. End product of this reaction is lactic acid.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason for the decline in lactate concentration after completion of sprint along with the reason that decline occur more slowly than the increase.

Introduction:

Intensive workout by muscles utilizes oxygen from the blood at faster rate, resulting in decrease in the level of oxygen for other reactions. The molecule of glucose is then converted into pyruvic acid in the absence of oxygen to produce two molecules of ATP which keeps the muscle going. End product of this reaction is lactic acid.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason for concentration of lactate not being zero during the resting state.

Introduction:

Intensive workout by muscles utilizes oxygen from the blood at faster rate, resulting in decrease in the level of oxygen for other reactions. The molecule of glucose is then converted into pyruvic acid in the absence of oxygen to produce two molecules of ATP which keeps the muscle going. End product of this reaction is lactic acid.

You’ve isolated a protein and determined that the Native molecular weight of the holoenzyme is 160 kD using size exclusion chromatography. Analysis of this protein using SDS-PAGE revealed 2 bands, one at 100 kD and one at 30 kD.  The enzyme was found to be 0.829% NAD (by weight). What further can be said regarding the structure of the polypeptide?
What is the formation of glycosylated hemoglobin (the basis for the HbA1c test)? Can you describe it?
Please analze the gel electrophoresis column of the VRK1 kinase (MW: 39.71 kDa).  Also use a ruler to measure the length of the column in centimeters and calculate the MW of each band observed.
