Chapter 2, Problem 9P
a. Suppose you wanted to make a buffer of exactly pH 7.00 using KH2PO4 and
Na2HPO4. If the final solution was 0.1 M in KH2PO4, what concentration of Na2HPO4 would you need?
b. Now assume you wish to make a buffer at the same pH, using the same substances, but want the total phosphate molarity ([HPO42- ]+[H2PO4-]) to equal 0.3. What concentrations of the KH2PO4 and Na2HPO4 would be required?

Polymer beads (resin) made of DEAE (diethylaminoethyl) cellulose are packed in an ion exchange column. The
total mass of beads in the column is 8.47 kg. On average, each bead weighs 0.0023 g and has an average of 18.4
* 10° positively charged amine groups that can adsorba negatively charged protein that passes through the
column. A solution containing 2.07 mg/L of a protein is maintained at pH 6.3 and is passed through the ion
exchange column at 0.215 L/min. The protein has a molecular weight of 154,000. The pk, of the amino groups
on DEAE cellulose is 7.1, and the pl of the protein is 5.6.

A. How long can the column be operated before reaching 80% capacity (i.e., 80% of the amino groups on DEAE
are bound to the protein through an ionic bond)? You may assume that one protein attaches to one +
charge on the beads (although it's possible that proteins attach to more than one + charge).
B. After reaching 80% capacity, explain what you would do to release the protein attached to the…

- Mixtures of amino acids can be analyzed by first separating the mixture into its components through ion‑exchange chromatography. Amino acids placed on a cation‑exchange resin containing sulfonate (−SO−3)(−SO3−) groups flow down the column at different rates because of two factors that influence their movement: (1) ionic attraction between the sulfonate residues on the column and positively charged functional groups on the amino acids, and (2) aggregation of nonpolar amino acid side chains with the hydrophobic backbone of the polystyrene resin. Note that the ionic attraction is more important than hydrophobicity for this column media. For each pair of amino acids, identify which will be eluted first from a cation‑exchange column using a pH 7.0pH 7.0 buffer.arrow_forwardThe concentration of the conjugate base in 100 mL of 50 mM CH3COOH/CH3COO- (pKa = 4.76) at pH 5.00 is ______mM.

- A protein gives, under conditions of buffer composition, pH, and temperature that are close to physiological conditions, a molecular weight by sedimentation equilibrium measurements of 140,000 g/mol. When the same protein is studied by SDS gel electrophoresis in the absence or presence of the reducing agent β-mercaptoethanol (BME), the patterns seen in lanes A and B respectively are observed. Lane C contains standards of molecular weight indicated. From these data, describe the native protein, in terms of the kinds of subunits present, the stoichiometry of subunits (that is, how many of each subunits are present), and the kinds of bonding (covalent, non-covalent) existing between subunitsarrow_forwardWhat would be the best buffering agent to choose if you wanted to buffer an enzyme reaction or tissue culture medium at pH = 7.95?
