A student analyzed a mixture of amino acids using thin layer chromatography where the stationary phase is a silica-coated plate. For the mobile phase, he used 50% ethyl acetate in hexane. The mixture contained three (3) amino acids whose structures are shown below. OH O НО OH OH NH₂ NH₂ NH₂ Threonine Valine Glutamic acid a. Identify spots A, B, and C in the developed TLC plate below based on the structures of the amino acids above (ie. which spot is threonine, valine, glutamic acid?). Hint: determine how the structures of the given amino acids differ BO CO b. Threonine can be phosphorylated using an enzyme called protein kinase. Given the same conditions the student used in his analysis, will the phosphorylated threonine have a higher, smaller, or the same Rf value compared to threonine? Which of the following compounds would have the lowest Rf value in a TLC analysis? A. Hexane-2,3-diol B. Benzene C. Diethyl ether D. 1,3,5-cyclohexanetriol OH

In a chromatographic analysis, it was found out that distance travelled by the alcohol solvent is 4 cm away from the finish line. The distance travelled from the starting line to finish line is 40 cm. The first amino acid, AA1 travelled 6 cm behind the distance travelled by the alcohol. The second amino acid, AA2 travelled 12 cm short from the solvent front while the third amino acid, AA3 travelled 8 cm ahead of AA2. Calculate: Rf of AA1 ____ Rf of AA2____ Rf of AA3____ (Rf= Retention factor)

purification of egg yolk vitelline 1) Measure the volumes of 3 egg yolks and mix by adding an equal volume of NaCl solution. 2) Extract the mixture with 3 solid volumes of ether and separate the aqueous phase. 3) Do the same procedure 3 times. 4) Mix the sample with water and rinse. 5) It is expected for the protein to collapse. 6) Some more water is added in order to check whether the collapse has occurred completely. 7) The sample is centrifuged and the precipitate is dried.For each step, explain why that action was taken. for example why is NaCl added? Why is the procedure repeated 3 times?
