A 0.5g sample of amylopectin was analyzed to determine the fraction of the total glucose residues that are branch points in the structure. The sample was methylated and then digested, yielding 50 umol Of 2,3-dimethylglucose and 0.4 umol of 1,2,3,6-tetramethyl glucose. (MW lucose = 162 g/mol, minus H,0) %3D a. What fraction of the total residues are branch points? b. How many reducing ends does the amylopectin have?

Treatment of a 258 mg sample of amylopectin by the methylation and hydrolysis procedure described yielded 12.4 mg of 2,3‑di‑O‑methylglucose. Determine what percentage of the glucose residues in amylopectin contained an (α1→6) branch. (Assume that the average molecular weight of a glucose residue in amylopectin is 162 g/mol and the molecular weight of 2,3‑di‑O‑methylglucose is 208 g/mol.) ( α1→6) branched glucose residues: %

A protein consists of two types of peptide chains (A and B) with an unknown stoichiometry (AxBy). When you ran this protein directly on reversed phase-HPLC with UV monitor set at 280 nm, two peaks were resolved. Mass spec determined that the peaks represented Chain A and Chain B, respectively. The peak area is 500,000 for Peak A (Chain A) and 100,000 for Peak B (Chain B). The molecular masses of Chain A and Chain B are 25,000 and 5000, respectively. The extinction coefficients for Chain A and Chain B are 1 mL/mg.cm and 0.5 mL/mg.cm, respectively. Please calculate x/y.
