Q

Ethers -OR (-OCH3) are electron (donating/withdrawing)

A

Donating!
Carboxylic acids are withdrawing
if attached by O-C or N-H or C-H it is donating, if attached by C-O or N-O it is withdrawing

Q

Half life problem: 93% degraded in 100 minutes, what is approximate half life

A

0.5^4 = 6.25% ~ 7%

Therefore 4 half lives in 100 minutes, so half life = 25 minutes

Q

Galvanic cells consist of a maximum of ____ half reactions, so given more reduction potentials you should only use _____

A

2 half reactions

Only use the two that are involved in the cell reaction

24
Q

What is STP

A

273K or 0 Celsius

1 atm pressure

25
Structure of Ribose
Furanose ring with carbon group on carbon 5
26
Thin lens equation
1/o + 1/i = 1/f | If it asks for a ratio, give a RATIO!
27
Electrolysis is exothermic or endothermic
Burning H2 is exothermic, so electrolysis and making it is ENDOTHERMIC
28
Work function and photon energy
KE of proton = hf - W | W = work function
29
To separate amides from carboxylic acids and amines?
Neutralize with NaOH, then the amides are insoluble, so add diethyl ether then evaporate it to separate the amide
30
What happens in Uncompetitive inhibition
Vmax reduced AND Km reduced
31
What are the axes on Lineweaver Burk
-1/Km and 1/Vmax
32
Color in spectrophotometer species is determined by:
Delocalization of electrons (look for conjugated double bonds)
33
A kinase is what type of enzyme
Transferase
34
How to number nitrogenous bases?
In order of priority: 1. Start at a nitrogen and go the direction that minimizes the number amount of nitrogens. 2. Minimize the number of Oxygens 3. Minimize the number on C-NH2s
35
Qualitatively describe the melting point of a protein
When 50% of molecule is unfolded and denatured (looks like equivalence point)
36
Glucose/Galactose/Fructose = Aldoses or Ketoses
Glucose and Galactose = Aldose | Fructose = Ketose
37
Which has more H-bond acceptors Guanine or Cytosine
G donates to C G has 2 NHs, 1 O C has 1 N, 1 O, and 1 NH Therefore Cytosine has more H-bond acceptors
38
For AC Current, voltage is:
RMS voltage | = Vmax * Sqrt(2)/2
39
Snells law -- Law of refraction
n1v1=n2v1 | n1sinθ1=n2sinθ2
40
T/F Unfolding of proteins is a cooperative process
True - The curve is sigmoidal
41
Ternary complex
Ternary = 3 parts
42
For Purification yield
Match units of initial and final amounts of protein
43
Acetylation is adding a what group:
R-(C=O)-
44
Heme is a _____ with a structure of _____
Porphyrin with a structure of pyrrole ring 4 carbon and nitrogen -- 5 member ring with 1 double bond
45
Methyl groups added by _______ | Hydroxyl groups added by _______
Methyl by transferases | Hydroxyl by oxidoreductases (hydroxylases)
46
pK is what
The pH at which the protein is 50% folded
47
What part of a wave is constant as it travels from medium to medium
The frequency Wavelength, amplitude, and speed change
48
When are cysteine and tyrosine and other OH and SH AAs charged
at pH 12+ when they are deprotonated they are -1 charge. Otherwise, at physiological, they are uncharged.
49
Alpha beta and gamma phosphates
Gamma phosphate is the one used for phosphorylation on ATP. Alpha is closest to Adenosine
50
Venturi effect
AKA Bernoulli's principle, high pressure air goes to lower pressure air
51
