|
an amber color
|
|
What are the limitations to an iodine reagent?
|
After a certain time and/or hydrolisis starchs helical structure breaks down and the iodine can no longer bind to it.

|
glucose and fructose
|
|
What monosacheride will result for the hydrolisis of starch?
|
gluctose
|
|
What is hydrolisis?
|
the process by which polysacherides are broken down into their components
|
|
What is used as a test for the presence of proteins?
|
Biruets reagent
|
|
What constitutes a positive Birutet test?
|
A blue or lavender color
|
|
How did we perform a serial dilution?
For 5 test tubes? What will be the concentration of each? |
Start with a stock sample of a substance (40mg/ml of BSA for example)
pipette 5ml of water into 4 tubes 1-4 Pipette 9.5 ml of water into tube 5 Using a 1ml pipette add .5 of the stock BSA into tube 5 and mix Remove 5 ml (half) of this solution and put it into tube 4 repeat for all The stock solution will have a concentation of 40,000μg/ml, tube 5 will have 2000μg/ml, tube 4 will have 1000μg/ml |
|
How do you blank a Spec?
|
1. set wavelength
2. set 0%transmitance with NO blank in chamber 3. put in blank and set transmitance to 100% 4. Switch to absorbance |
|
What is an assay?
|
A means of detecting and measuring the activity of an enzyme
|
|
How is enzyme activity expressed?
|
amount of substrate used per unit of time
or amount of product produced per unit of time |
|
What is a compound that is colorless but yeilds a colored product upon reaction called?
|
a chromogenic substance
|
|
What was the enzyme used in the Enzyme lab called?
|
phosphatase
|
|
What were the substrates for the enzyme lab I ?
|
(chromogenic substance) p-nitrophenyl phosphate (PNPP)
|
|
What was the product for the enzyme lab I?
|
(colored product)p-nirtophenol (PNP)
|
|
When does p-nirtophenol (PNP) turn yellow?
|
Under high pH
|
|
Why was NaOH added to the enzyme reaction
|
stop reaction and raise pH
|
|
Why do you establish a standard curve?
|
In order to convert the value of absorbance into concentration of protein
|
|
How do you establish a standard curve?
|
Make known concentrations of enzyme with varying concentrations of product, and controled concentrations of buffer, protein, NaOH
test absorbance and plot |
|
What kind of a graph do you expect to get if you vary the amount of enzyme but keep the substrate the same?
|
linear relationship
|
|
How do you find the mass of a product?
|
Conc. (u moles/liter) X Volume (L) = Mass PNP (u moles)
|
|
How do you find the concntration of a product?
|
net absorbace solved for standar curve
|
|
How do you find the volume of product?
|
C1V1 = C2V2
|
|
how do you recognize a cell that is hypertonic?
|
it is shrivaled inside the cell wall because water has exited the cell
|
|
what does it mean to be hypertonic
|
there is a higher concentrantion of solutes OUTSIDE of a cell
|
|
what does it mean to be hypotonic
|
there is a higher concentration of solutes inside the cell
|
|
what does it mean to be isotonic
|
same concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell.
|
|
How do you recognize a hypotonic cell
|
there is high turgor pressure: the cell is swollen
|
|
