Why is it necessary to rinse the inside of erlenmeyer flask with di water periodically?

Hi there!

It is necessary to rinse the inside of an Erlenmeyer flask with deionized water periodically to wash the flask without adding ions which could affect the titration. 

If you wash an Erlenmeyer flask with regular tap water, you are adding ions, like sodium or chlorine, which could make you miss the equivalence point by only tenths of mL (that's a big difference when titrating). This is why when washing you use deionized water to clean the flask while ensuring that your titration is accurate.

Have a good day!

What is the key difference among the 20 amino acids that are used to make proteins?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Attached R side groups

Explanation:

The proteins are one of the important biomolecules which are directly coded by the genetic material of an organism.

The proteins are composed of the amino acids which possess, an amine group, a carboxylic group and an attached side group called the R group.

It is the R group of an amino acid which determines whether the amino acid will a polar or a non-polar amino acid molecule thus it determines the properties of the amino acid in terms of chemical properties. The R side group are involved in the formation of bonds with the substrate of the environment and the tertiary structure of the proteins.

Thus, the presence of different R group is the key difference in 20 amino acids.

In colorectal cancer, some tumor suppressor genes are inactive. This is an important factor resulting in uncontrolled cell divis
tresset_1 [31]

Answer/Explanation:

(1) a mutation in the coding region, resulting in an inactive protein

To check to see if there is a mutation, you could extract the DNA from the cancer cells and then perform PCR to amplify the gene of interest. You could then perform sanger sequencing and compare the sequence to the normal gene to see if a mutation is present. To test the effect of the mutation, you would want to see if an active protein has been formed.

To see if a normal sized protein has been formed, you could perform a western blot, comparing the protein band to the WT protein band. If the protein is absent or much smaller, it is likely not a functional protein.

(2) epigenetic silencing at the promoter of the gene, resulting in reduced transcription.

To check for changes in the epigenetic landscape of the promoter, you could perform chromatin immunoprecipitation by extracting the chromatin from the tumour cells and using antibodies for different chromatin marks to see what has changed between the normal cells and the tumor cells. E.g. H3K9me3, H3K27me3. You would perform a pull down with the antibody of interest and then PCR for your promoter to specifically look at changes at that gene compared to normal cells. To test DNA methylation, you could perform bisulfite sequencing.

To see how transcription is affected, you could extract RNA from the tumor and normal cells, and compare the levels of RNA between the two samples by qRT-PCR
