Chapter 5, Problem 9E
Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason that certain protein has an apparent molecular mass of 90KD when determined by the gel filtration and 60kD when determined by SDS-PAGE in the presence or absence of 2-mercaptoethanol.

Concept introduction: Gel filtration is a technique used for the separation of molecules based on the molecular size. In these techniques, molecules move through the porous of beads, diffusing into the beads with greater or lesser degrees of interaction. Sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analyzes the protein mixture based on size. Proteins that have higher and lower molecular mass run slowly and fast in the gel under the effect of an electric field respectively.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether gel filtration or SDS-PAGE would be accurate to find molecular mass of proteins.

Please help with this Mass Spectrometry Question. Thank you For the mass spec. shown in the attached image, please determine and give the amino acid sequence of the pentapeptide. Show which end is the amino terminus and which is the carboxy terminus. How does one arrive at the solution?
Draw a tripeptide of your choosing at pH 7. Have the N-terminus on the left and the C-terminus on the right. Then: Draw a triangle around the α-carbons. Draw a box around the R-groups. Circle the atoms capable of hydrogen bonding. Highlight the atoms involved in the formation of the peptide bonds. What type of structure have you drawn? (primary, secondary, tertiary or quaternary protein structure).
2. For the flow of fluid over a flat membrane of length 10cm, determine the length-average mass transfer coefficient. The relevant properties of the system are u=0.01cm²/s, D=5 x 106 cm²/s, and v = 5.0 cm/s.
