You are a researcher with an interest in understanding the mechanism of serine protease enzymes. To test the effect of the role

of Asp102 in the efficiency of catalysis, you make targeted substitutions of that residue and compare the rate of hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate with the rate on the unmutated enzyme. Answer the following questions: a. (4) You observe a bi-phasic plot, i.e. a quick burst of product (p-nitrophenol) release (seen as a steep curve), followed by a slower (less steep) curve. What step of the reaction corresponds to each phase of the chymotrypsin reaction? And which corresponds to the Michaelis-Menten Steady State? Explain. b. (4) If you mutate Asp102 to create an enzyme with Asn102, describe (or draw) changes you would expect to see in p-nitrophenol release – and, of course, explain your answer. c. (4-8) For the wild type (unmutated) enzyme, you measure a rate of p-nitrophenol release by the change in absorbance at 405 nm (for the slower phase only) of 0.216 (in a cuvette with a pathlength of 1 cm) over the course of two minutes. Use the Beer-Lambert Law to calculate the concentration of product released over this time; the extinction coefficient of p-nitrophenol at 405 nm is 18,000 M-1 cm-1. For extra credit: If your assay is done with 1 x 10-9 M enzyme, what is the turnover number for this enzyme?

Solution A has twice as much solute as solution B is it possible for the solutions to have the same concentration
pishuonlain [190]
Yes. As long as the ratio of solute and solvent is same for both solution, the solution has the same concentration. for example, solution A has 2 ml of water, and 1 ml of sucrose. Solution B has 4ml of water and 2ml of sucrose. Both has a ratio of water to sucrose by 2 : 1. they have the same concentration of 50% sucrose.

A voltaic cell utilizes the following reaction: 4Fe2+(aq)+O2(g)+4H+(aq)→4Fe3+(aq)+2H2O(l). What is the emf of this cell under st
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

0.46 V

Explanation:

The emf for the cell is given by:

Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction

From the  given balanced chemical equation, we can deduce that Fe²⁺ has been oxidized to Fe³⁺, and O reduced  from 0 to negative 2, according to the half cell reactions:

4Fe²⁺  ⇒ Fe³⁺ + 4e⁻           oxidation

O₂ + 4H⁺ + 4 e⁻ ⇒ 2 H₂O   reduction

From reference tables for the standard reduction potential, we get

Eº red Fe³⁺ / Fe²⁺   Eºred = 0.77 V  

Eº red O₂ / H₂O      Eºred = 1.23 V

Now all we need to do is change the sign of Eº reduction for the species being oxidized ( Fe²⁺ ) and add it to Eº reduction  O₂:

Eº cell =   Eº oxidation + Eº reduction = - (0.77 V ) + 1.23 V = 0.46 V
