(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The way in which the hemoglobin Rainier differ from the normal hemoglobin with respect to the oxygen affinity.

Concept introduction: Hemoglobin is the protein that has iron ion bound to it and carries the oxygen from the lungs to rest of the parts of the body. Several hemoglobin variants have been discovered. One such variant is the hemoglobin Rainier. The hemoglobin exists in two states T state and R state as proposed by the Scientist Max Perutz, that are also the stable conformational states of the hemoglobin.

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.
Background Freezing isn't the only challenge in cryopreservation - thawing can be just as difficult. A microwave oven seems like a nice solution, since it deposits energy quickly and microwaves are non-ionizing radiation (they do not cause DNA mutation). However, water absorbs microwaves more effectively than ice does, meaning that the portion of an organ that has already melted will get warmer at a higher rate than the remaining ice – the opposite of what we want! - The transmission of radiation through a weakly absorbing material such as ice or water can be modeled by Beer's law, which assumes that the rate of absorption at a depth x is proportional to the local radiation intensity I(x) times an absorption coefficient, which is often written as μ or a or just µ). Noting that absorption decreases the intensity, we can write a differential equation a Solving the differential equation with the boundary condition on the surface being gives the relationship For a standard microwave oven…
