Three dipeptides are separated by electrophoresis at ph 5.8. if the dipeptides are Arg-trp, Asp-thr, and Val-met, describe the motion of each with respect tothe positive and negative electrodes in the electrophoresis apparatus.
Penicillin is hydrolyzed and thereby rendered inactive by penicillinase, an enzyme present in some resistant bacteria. The mass of this enzyme in Staphylococcus aureus is 29.6 kd. The amount of penicillin hydrolyzed in 1 minute in 10 ml solution containing 10–9 g of purified penicillinase was measured as a function of the concentration of penicillin. Assume that the concentration of penicillin does not change during the assay.
[Penicillin] µM Amount hydrolyzed (nanomoles)
1 0.11
3 0.25
5 0.34
10 0.45
30 0.58
50 0.61

amount of betacyanin is shown
below.
You extracted a red pigment from a
beet disc (the mass of a disc is 2 g)
using 10 ml of 20% ethanol solution.
You measured absorbance of the
solution above the beet disc every
minute for a total time of 20 minutes.
The increase in absorbance was
linear during a period of time from 1
min to 10 min. The absorbance at 10
min was 0.8. Calculate the amount of
betacyanin extracted from 1g of a
beet tissue per minute.
