The activation energy for proline isomerization of a peptide depends on the identity of the preceding residue and obeys Arrheniu

s rate behavior. Experiments are conducted on the isomerization of an alanine- proline peptide. At 25°C (298 K) the observed rate constant is 0.05 sec–1 and the value of EA is calculated to be 60 kJ•mol–1. Similar measurements are performed on a phenylalanine-proline peptide at 25°C, with a measured rate constant of 0.005 sec–1. Assuming an identical preexponential factor as the alanine-proline peptide, what is the activation energy for this peptide (kJ/mol)?

Answer:

Activation energy of phenylalanine-proline peptide is 66 kJ/mol.

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation-     k=Ae^{\frac{-E_{a}}{RT}}    , where k is rate constant, A is pre-exponential factor, E_{a} is activation energy, R is gas constant and T is temperature in kelvin scale.

As A is identical for both peptide therefore-

                                   \frac{k_{ala-pro}}{k_{phe-pro}}=e^\frac{[E_{a}^{phe-pro}-E_{a}^{ala-pro}]}{RT}

Here \frac{k_{ala-pro}}{k_{phe-pro}}=\frac{0.05}{0.005} , T = 298 K , R = 8.314 J/(mol.K) and E_{a}^{ala-pro}=60kJ/mol

So, \frac{0.05}{0.005}=e^{\frac{[E_{a}^{phe-pro}-(60000J/mol)]}{8.314J.mol^{-1}.K^{-1}\times 298K}}

   \Rightarrow E_{a}^{phe-pro}=65705J/mol=66kJ/mol (rounded off to two significant digit)

So, activation energy of phenylalanine-proline peptide is 66 kJ/mol

Llana [10]

Answer:

I'm feeling nice today so heres the answer

Explanation:

In the portion of the cell membrane shown in the diagram, the arrow indicates the process of active transport.

Explanation:

Active transport is one of the mechanisms of transmembrane transport, which involves the use of energy. The diagram (see image) shows the hydrogen (H⁺) output from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space, through an H⁺ pump —consuming ATP— which represents an active transport process.

The hydrophobic nature of the cell membrane prevents the free passage of hydrosoluble elements or ions, as H⁺, so they require the use of active transport to pass through it.

The other options presented are not correct, because

Respiration is a process that occurs in the mitochondria.

Diffusion is a passive transport process that does not require energy.

Cellular recognition depends on membrane proteins that act as specific receptors.

The specific heat of copper is 0.40 joules/ g °c. How much heat is needed in joules to change the temperature of a 55 gram subst
Snezhnost [94]

Answer : The amount of heat needed is, 1188 J

Explanation :

Formula used :

q=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)

where,

q = heat needed = ?

m = mass of copper = 55 g

c = specific heat capacity of copper = 0.40J/g^oC

T_1 = initial temperature = 20.0^oC

T_2 = final temperature = 74.0^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

q=55g\times 0.40J/g^oC\times (74.0-20.0)^oC

q=1188J

Thus, the amount of heat needed is, 1188 J

What is the correct chemical equation for the reaction between methane and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:   CH₄     +    3/2 O₂     ⇒     CO₂    +   2 H₂O

Explanation:

Methane = CH₄

Oxygen = O

Carbon dioxide = CO₂

Water = H₂O

                      CH₄     +    3/2 O₂     ⇒     CO₂    +   2 H₂O

        This is the balanced equation
