Q

How do you calculate the magnitude of an electric field? The passage says 4.5kV at a distance of 0.5m.

A

The intensity of a uniform electric field E is related to the voltage V divided by the distance d from which it applied. 4.5kV/0.5m = 9kV/m

Q

Which extraction procedure will completely separate an amide from the by-product of the reaction between an anime and excess carboxylic acid anhydride?

A

Add 0.1 M NaOH to quench unreacted anhydride. Then add diethyl ether and separate the layers. The amide can be obtained from the ether layer by evaporating the solvent. The by-product of such reaction will be an acidic carboxylic acid and the excess unreacted material will also be acidic. Extraction with aqueous base will hydrolyze and extract both of these into the aqueous layer, leaving the neutral amide in the ether layer.

Q

What does the behavior of liposomes labeled compound 1 and compound 2 if the results are stable when mixed and forms new liposomes when mixed tells you about them?

A

It means that compound 1 is under kinectic control whereas compound 2 is under thermodynamic control due to the fact that the latter achives its thermodynamically stable step more rapidly. The thermodynamic product is reversible thus it would mix to create the most homogenous and stable intermediate, whereas kinetic is irreversible!

24
Q

The bond that links monosacharides together in an oligosaccharide is what known as what type of bond?

A

The bond that links monosacharides together in an oligosaccharide is a special type of acetal linkage known as a glycoside bond.

25
Q

The induced-fit model refers to?

A

The induced-fit model of enzyme catalysis states that the active site of the enzyme changes shape upon substrate binding and only the proper substrate causes a change that initiates catalysis.

26
Q

When performing experiments to measure Kcat of an enzyme, the substrate concentration should be? Why?

A

Saturating. Because the Kcat is used to describe the rate-limiting step of catalysis under saturating conditions of substrate

27
Q

When experiments are performed on enzymes that display traditional Michaelis-Menten kinetics, what shape does the graph of Vo versus substrate concentration [S] have?

A

traditional Michaelis-Menten kinetics describes a hyperbolic dependence of Vo on substrate concentration.

28
Q

What happens to Km and Vmax during competitive, uncompetitive, and noncompetitive inhibition.

A

During competitive inhibition Km goes up and Vmax remains the same. During uncompetitive inhibition Both Vmax and Km decrease. During non competitive inhibition. Vmax decreases and Km remains the same.

29
Q
