Enumerate the appropriate methods of extraction and purification of glycosides.
Ornithine is an amino acid that is not used in the synthesis of proteins, but is an important intermediate in several metabloic pathways including the urea cycle and the synthesis of polyamines. It has a perfectly ordinary terminal amino group and terminal carboxyl group like any other amino acid (so use the pKas for those groups given on your amino acids handout), and a side chain with a single ionizable side group with a pKa of 10.3. If ornithine is placed in solution at pH 7.0, it has a net charge of +1. What would the net charge on this amino acid be if the pH of the solution was raised to pH 12.0? Please explain your reasoning.
Finally, you want to make completely certain that you purified the correct protein and not some other protein (like biochemisnotfunase). To confirm the identity of your protein, you run a Western blot. When doing a Western, one typically needs a solution of phosphate-buffered saline, which is comprised of 10 mM phosphate buffer(pH 8.0) and 0.9% (w/v) NaCl. Describe how you would make 500 mL of this solution including the grams of sodium phosphate, monobasic and sodium phosphate, dibasic that you would need. Making the phosphate buffer is a little tricky. Be sure to use the correct ratio of monobasic and dibasic sodium phosphate to get the correct pH. The Henderson- Hasselbalch equation might come in handy here. Finally, the molecular weight of sodium phosphate, monobasic (NaH2PO4) is 119.98 g/mol and the molecular weight of sodium phosphate, dibasic (Na2HPO4) is 141.96 g/mol.

Using the information below, determine the amino acid sequence of the peptide, and explain how your structure is consistent with each piece of information. Complete hydrolysis by 6 M HCl at 110°C followed by amino acid analysis indicated the presence of Gly, Leu, Phe, and Tyr in a 2:1:1:1 molar ratio. Treatment of the peptide with1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene followed by complete hydrolysis and chromatography indicated the presence of the 2,4-dinitrophenyl derivative of tyrosine. No free tyrosine could be found. Complete digestion of he peptide with pepsin (which cleaves on the amino side of aromatic residues) followed by chromatography yielded a dipeptide containing Phe and Leu and a tripeptide containing Tyr and Gly in a 1:2 ratio.
