Batch and semi-batch (fed- batch ) fermentation of E.coli experiment was done. 0.5 g / L, 1 g / L and 2 g / L glucose was added to the batch fermentation medium. After the Semi-Batch fermentation medium was incubated for 3 hours, glucose was added. Why was glucose added to the fed batch fermentation medium 3 hours later?

A student performed an invertase activity assay on samples from a purification. All reactions occurred in a reaction volume of 100 µL and lasted 3.1 minutes. For each reaction, 5.00 µL enzyme was mixed with 50.0 mM sucrose in 10.0 mM acetate pH 4.8. Then 400 µL of DNS was added, the samples were heated to 90 °C for 5 minutes, and 500 µL of 50.0 mM acetate pH 4.8 was added before loading a 96 well plate in triplicate. Samples were measured at 540 nm using a path length of 0.680 cm. The fraction with the highest activity had A540 of 0.904. The standard of 14.00 mM hydrolyzed sucrose had A540 of 1.047 (the concentration given is of the 100 µL sample). The no-enzyme control had A540 of 0.174. Calculate the activity of the fraction (in nmol min-1).

200 ml of a 2% protein solution containing an enzyme that you want to purify. Half of the sample is subjected to method A, consisting of fractionated precipitations and 5 ml of final solution are obtained, with a concentration protein equal to 5 mg / ml and enzymatic activity equal to 2000 U / ml. The other half is subjected to method B, consisting of ion exchange chromatography, and a final solution of 10 ml, with protein richness equal to 10 mg / ml and with an activity enzymatic also equal to 2000 U / ml. You want to know: a) Which of the two methods has provided the purest enzyme. b) By which of the methods the greatest amount of enzyme has been obtained.

A purified protein sample was used in a reaction, resulting in an activity of 696.7 nmol min-1. The reaction volume was 145.0 µL and the final volume before loading the plate was 1,050 µL. The total reaction time was 4.25 min. The amount of protein used in the reaction was 4.270 µg. Calculate the specific activity of the sample (in nmol min-1 µg-1).
Assumed that you have isolated the protein cytochrome C from a cell lysate. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the following protein assays. a. Absorbance at 215 nm. b. Absorbance at 280 nm. c. The Bradford assay.
First, they ran samples of the enzyme on denaturing and non-denaturing gels; the results are shown in the figure to the right. In addition, they ran the protein through a calibrated gel filtration column, the results of which indicated that the PYC enzyme had a molecular weight of 540 kiloDaltons. In the figure, the rightmost column are where molecular weight standards of various sizes would occur if they’d been on the gels. How many subunits are in the PYC enzyme? Are the subunits the same, or are they different in some way? Are the subunits made up of distinct chains of primary structures, and, if so, how many? Are the chains the same, or are they different in some way?
