Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 9RE
REFLECT AND APPLY You are purifying a protein for the first time. You have solubilized it with homogenization in a blender followed by differential centrifugation. You wish to try ammonium sulfate precipitation as the next step. Knowing nothing beforehand about the amount of ammonium sulfate to add, design an experiment to find the proper concentration (% saturation) of ammonium sulfate to use.

- REFLECT AND APPLY The enzyme D-amino acid oxidase has a very high turnover number because the D-amino acids are potentially toxic. The KM for the enzyme is in the range of 1 to 2 mM for the aromatic amino acids and in the range of 15 to 20 mM for such amino acids as serine, alanine, and the acidic amino acids. Which of these amino acids are the preferred substrates for the enzyme?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY The fidelity of protein synthesis is assured twice during protein synthesis. How and when?arrow_forwardREFLECT AND APPLY You are in the process of determining the amino acid sequence of a peptide.

In other words, the bacteria grown at 37C have a higher proportion of saturated fatty acids in their cell membranes.arrow_forward
