- Use correct sig figs The concentration of a purified monoclonal antibody was measured using UV280 nm. The sample was diluted (200 μL of purified antibody in 800 μL buffer) prior to analysis using a spectrophotometer. Calculate the concentration of antibody in the purified fraction if the Abs=0.95 of the diluted antibody. The molar absorptivity is known to be 191,411.6 M-1cm-1 and the molecular weight is 150 kDa. The pathlength for the cuvette is 1 cm.arrow_forwardVarious concentrations of recombinant human insulin were prepared for use standards for an HPLC method. To verify the prepared concentrations, the samples were analyzed by measuring the absorbance at 280 nm in a short path length (5 mm) cuvette. The molar absorption coefficient for human insulin is approximately 5.875 x 10³ M-¹cm-¹. a. Calculate the extinction coefficient in mL mg-¹cm-¹. b. Calculate the concentrations of the following human insulin standards if the measured absorbances and dilutions used are: Standard 1 Standard 2 Abs.

- With an A260 value of 1.12 and a DNA concentration of 56.0 ng/mL, what is the pathlength of the optical system used within the Nanodrop?arrow_forwardA series of bovine serum albumin (BSA) was prepared and 1 mL of each solution was subjected to a Bradford assay. The increase in absorbance at 595 nm relative to the concentration of protein was plotted as shown below. Save 1.0- 0.8- 0.6- 0.4- 0.2- 0.04 0.0 0.5 1.0 2.0 2.5 1.5 BSA concentration (mg/mL) a) Using the graph, calculate the original concentration of protein present in a mixture of haemoglobin and methylene blue (diluted 1:50), which gave an absorbance of 0.20 at a wavelength of 595 nm using the Bradford assay. Show all workings. Absorbance (O.D.)arrow_forward1.0.1 mL of a protein solution of concentration of 11 mg/mL was diluted to a total volume of 4.0 mL with water (i.e. 0.1 mL of the solution was added to 3.9 mL of water). 2 mL of this solution was then mixed with 18 mL of water. What is the concentration of the diluted protein solution? Space to show your workings:arrow_forward
- Consider the fluorescence spectra for bovine serum albumin (BSA) below. One solution contains phosphate buffered saline (PBS), while the other contains 1M HCL. Why does the fluorescence change the way it does? I.e., why do we observe a higher peak and a shift to the left under the presence of acid?arrow_forward1)Ubiquitin is a small protein with a monoisotopic mass of 8560 Da. a) Electrospray ionization of this small protein typically results in major charge states of +8, +9, +10, +11, +12, and +13. Using this information, complete the table below, assuming the charges on each come from protonation. Report mass and m/z values to the ones place. b) Using the data you entered in the table, sketch an expected ESI-MS spectrum for ubiquitin. Label each peak with its charge state. What do you notice about the spacing of peaks along the x-axis. c)The figure shows an experimentally obtained electrospray mass spectrum for ubiquitin. Compare this spectrum to the spectrum you predicted. Are there any differences? If so, what might cause these differences?arrow_forwardA mixture of five proteins are analyzed by MALDI-TOF. Their molecular weigths are 3 kD, 22 kD, 100 kD, 225 kD and 515 kD. A peak appears in the mass spectrum at 33.3 kD. Which protein most likely gave this peak?arrow_forward
- Each group will be provided with 20 g double-stranded DNA oligomer in STE buffer (0.1M NaCl/ Tris/ 10 mM EDTA, pH 7.4). The sequence of one strand of the oligomer is: 5’-AATGGTACGTATACTTTAT-3’ - show a table of % denaturation of DNA at different temperatures, using the equation provided in “Calculation” - plot a graph of % denaturation of DNA vs different temperatures with clear label and title, and hence determine the experimental Tm of the DNA sample - calculate the theoretical Tm of the sample using Marmur and Doty equation, compare the experimental Tm with theoretical Tm of the DNA samplearrow_forwardQuantity of total DNA in a 5ul sample: Absorbance at 260nm 0.002 and at 280nm = 0.0011arrow_forwardAbove or below what pH would the polypeptide become fully mobile on a cation exchange column?
