which of the following amino acids are used to measure the protein concentration by UV? A. His B. Pro C. Trp D. Phe E. Tyr

Chemistry

Goryan [66]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. Trp D. Phe E. Tyr

Explanation:

The concentration of a protein has a direct relation with absorbance of the protein in a UV spectrophotometer. The formula which relates concentration with absorbance is described as under:

                A = ∈ x c x l

where, A = Absorbance

            ∈ = Molar extinction co-efficient

            c  = Concentration of absorbing species i.e. protein

             l  = Path length of light

       

Tryptophan (Trp), phenylalanine (Phe ) and tyrosine (Tyr) are three aromatic amino acids which are used to measure protein concentration by UV. It is mainly because of tryptophan (Trp), protein absorbs at 280 nm which gives us an idea of protein concentration during UV spectroscopy.

The table depicting the wavelength at which these amino acids absorb and their respective molar extinction coefficient is as under:

Amino acid                Wavelength            Molar extinction co-efficient (∈)

Tryptophan                     282 nm                        5690

Tyrosine                          274 nm                        1280

Phenylalanine                 257 nm                        570

In view of table above, we can easily see that Molar extinction co-efficient (∈) of Tryptophan is highest amongst all these 3 amino acids that is why it dominates while measuring concentration.

Which of the following shows three elements in order of decreasing electronegativity?
damaskus [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D which is the decreasing order of conductivity is Mn, O, Ge.

Explanation:

You can easily answer this if you know the periodic trends. For the property of electrical conductivity, it decreases across a period and decreases also down a group. Thus, the most conductive element must be Mn, while the least conductive one is Ge. So, the answer is: -Mn, O, Ge

Is H3O+ polar or non polar? (explain please.)?
pishuonlain [190]
The overall molecule is Polar because the shape of the molecule is Trigonal Pyramidal, which means it has the lone pair electrons. Becuase of the lone pair the pulling is unequal.   

H3O+ has 3 polar bonds. 
To know if the bonds are polar or nonpolar find the difference of the element's electronegativity charge. 
H has electronegativity charge of 2.2, and O has 3.4.
Always subtract the smaller number from the greater one. 
So 3.4 - 2.2 = 1.2 
If the difference is from 0-0.4 the bond is nonpolar, but if it's from 0.5-1.9 the bond is polar. 
So, 1.2 is polar bond. So H3O+ has 3 polar bonds, and the overall molecule is polar too. 

A simple way to know if it's polar or nonpolar is to draw the lewis dot structure, and use VSEPR.
