Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether a glove is chiral or nonchiral.

Introduction: Chirality is the phenomenon in which a molecule is not superimposable mirror image to each other. It is also known as asymmetric centers. A carbon atom attached with four different groups is chiral. The amino acid (except glycine) shows chirality because a central carbon atom is attached with four different groups. Glycine is a symmetrical or achiral because the central carbon is not attached with four different groups. A chiral molecule has handedness.

From the reaction data below, determine whether the reaction is first order or second order and calculate the rate constant. Time (s) 0 Reactant (mM) 5.4 1 4.6 2 3.9 3 3.2 4 2.7 5 2.3 Only a plot of In[reactant] versus t gives a straight line, so the reaction is s-1. . The negative of the slope, k, is
A protein has a molecular mass of 400 kDa when measured by size-exclusion chromatography. When subjected to gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), the protein gives three bands with molecular masses of 180, 160, and 60 kDa. When electrophoresis is carried out in the presence of SDS and dithiothreitol (DTT), three bands again form, this time with molecular masses of 160, 90, and 60 kDa. How many subunits does the protein have, and what is the molecular mass of each? four subunits: 180, 160, 90, and 60 kDa three subunits: 180, 160, and 60 kDa three subunits: 160, 90, and 60 kDa four subunits: 160, 90, 90, and 60 kDa Correct Answer
