Chapter 8, Problem 34CQ
Summary Introduction

To determine: The unpleasant side effects of the eat-all-you-want nostrum or starch blocker that would have resulted from its ingestion with a starch-containing meal.

Concept introduction:

Starches are the complex carbohydrates. They are the main storage carbohydrate in the plants. They are mainly composed of two polysaccharides - amylose and amylopectin. The foods made from starchy vegetables, flours or grains are highly rich in starch. The digestive enzyme known as amylase are necessary to degrade the dietary starches for the normal absorption. The starch blockers are the substance that inhibits the enzyme amylase.

Summary Introduction

To discuss: The reason why the eat-all-you-want nostrum or starch blocker which inhibits amylase in vitro would not do so in the intestines after oral ingestion.

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.
