Calculating the Molecular Weight and Subunit Organization of a Protein From Its Metal Content The element molybdenum (atomic wei

ght 95.95) constitutes 0.08% of the weight of nitrate reductase. If the molecular weight of nitrate reductase is 240,000, what is its likely quaternary structure?

Answer:

Dimer of two peptide chains with 1 mole of molybdenum metal each.

Explanation:

Percentage of molybdenum in protein = 0.08%

Molecular mass of nitrate reductase = 240,000 g

Mass of molybdenum = x

0.08\%=\frac{x}{240,000 g}\times 100=192 g

Moles of molybdenum =\frac{192 g}{95.95 g/mol}=2.00 mol

Each peptide chain of nitrate reductase contain 1 mole of molybdenum.

This means that nitrate reductase is composed of to two peptide chains. And in each peptide there is a single mole of molybdenum metal.

What is the number of moles in 500L of He gas at STP
kompoz [17]
Ah, this is actually a fairly simple chemistry question.

Recall that at STP, one mole is equivalent to 22.4 L. Knowing this, all you have to do is divide 500 L by 22.4 L to find the number of moles:

500/22.4 = 22.3 mol
