An enzyme with molecular weight of 310 kDa undergoes a change in shape when the substrate binds. This change can be characterize

d by ultracentrifugation. In the absence of any ligand, the s20,w = 11.7S, density of solvent is 1g/cm3and viscosity 1.005 cP; the specific volume of the protein is 0.732 cm3/g. a) Find the radius of the protein, assuming it is sphericalb) Upon binding of the substrate the sedimentation coefficient increases by 3.5%; what is the radius of the bound enzyme?

Answer:

(a) r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

(b) r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

Explanation:

Using the sedimentation coefficient formula;

s =  M(1-Vρ) / Nf ; where s is sedimentation coefficient, M is molecular weight, V is specific volume of protein, p is density of the solvent, N is Avogadro number, f if frictional force = 6πnr, n is viscosity of the medium, r is radius of particle

s = M ( 1 - Vρ) / N*6πnr

making r sbjct of formula, r =  M (1 - Vρ) / N*6πnrs

Note: S = 10⁻¹³ sec, 1 KDalton = 1 *10³ g/mol, I cP = 0.01 g/cm/s

r = {(3.1 * 10⁵ g/mol)(1 - (0.732 cm³/g)(1 g/cm³)} / { (6.02 * 10²³)(6π)(0.01 g/cm/s)(11.7 * 10⁻¹³ sec)

r = 6.26 * 10⁻⁷cm

b. Using the formula r₂/r₁ = s₁/s₂

s₂ = 0.035 + 1s₁ = 1.035s₁

making r₂ subject of formula; r₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / s₂ = (s₁ * r₁) / 1.035s₁

r₂ = 6.3 * 10⁻⁷cm / 1.035

r₂ = 6.05 * 10⁻⁷cm

What is true of a reaction that has reached equilibrium? The rate of the forward reaction is greater than the rate of the revers
STALIN [3.7K]
Equilibrium is reached when the net reaction is zero. The reaction is consistent, when reactants and products are neither excessively consumed, nor produced.
The rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction.

Which ONE of the following is an oxidation–reduction reaction? A) PbCO3(s) + 2 HNO3(aq) ––––> Pb(NO3)2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
sveta [45]

Answer:

E) C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) ⇒ C₂H₆(g)

Explanation:

Which ONE of the following is an oxidation–reduction reaction?

A) PbCO₃(s) + 2 HNO₃(aq) ⇒ Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

B) Na₂O(s) + H₂O(l) ⇒ 2 NaOH(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

C) SO₃(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂SO₄(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

D) CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂CO₃(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.

E) C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) ⇒ C₂H₆(g). YES. <u>C is reduced</u> and <u>H is oxidized</u>.
