Therapeu�cs Engineering CHE 380/580 Assignment # 4 Due 2 / 6 /24, 11 am on BBlearn Name: 1. You generate a pep�de with the sequence KSLWPWKY. You purify it with HPLC and want to determine how much you made. A�er dissolving it in 1 mL of pure water, you read it on a spectrophotometer in a 0.3 cm diameter cuvete. You get the following reading (shown as trace A on this graph). a. What is the pep�de concentra�on? The ex�nc�on coefficient is 12660 cm -1 M- 1 (from two tryptophans and one tyrosine). Using beer’s law and the cuvete size of 0.3 cm and es�ma�ng the absorp�on at 280 nm of 1.8, we can calculate 1.8= (12660)*(0.3)* C C= 4.7 x10 -4 M or 0.47 mM. b. If the ideal yield was 1 mg, what was the efficiency of the reac�on? Calcula�ng a molecular weight of 1107 g/mol, using 1 mL of water, we calculate we have a total of 0.47 uMols of pep�de, which comes to 0.52 mg, amoun�ng to a 52% yield.
2. From the example ESI - MS spectrum, can you iden�fy at least one peak tha t corresponds to an exact mass of: (Show your reasoning) a) 1201.77 Da? 401.596 is a triple charged product peak (410.596 - 1)*3= 1201.77 b) 1206.09 Da? 626.0353 is a double charge product with two sodium adducts (626.0353 - 22.99) *2 = 1206.09 3. What is the difference between Disassocia�on constant (Kd) and Effec�ve Dose 50 (EC50)? Kd describes the concentra�on of the ligand required for binding, while EC50 is the concentra�on required for a physiological effect
