Citric acid can be produced according to the above formula by aerobically growing Aspergillus niger mold in a solution containing glucose as a substrate. The chemical composition of this mold is CH1.8O0.6N0.12. The yield of biomass from glucose is 0.34 g g-1 and the yield of citric acid from glucose is 0.535 g g-1. Using a reduction balance, calculate how many moles of oxygen are needed per mole of glucose. In this calculation, use the following rounded even values as atomic weights for all calculations: C=12 g/mol, H=1 g/mol, O=16 g/mol ja N=14 g/mol. So how many moles of oxygen are needed per mole of glucose ? Calculate the answer to three decimal places.

C60H111O51 Use the following information to answer the following questions."The native structure of hemoglobin (HB) comprises of two α and two β subunits, each of which carries a heme group. There appear to be no previous studies that report the in-vitro folding and assembly of Hb from highly unfolded α and β globin in a 'one-pot' reaction. One difficulty that has to be overcome for studies of this kind is the tendency of Hb to aggregate during refolding. This work demonstrates that denaturation of Hb in 40% acetonitrile at pH 10.0 is reversible."

Gentiobiose has the molecular formula C12H22O11 and has been isolated from gentian root and by hydrolysis of amygdalin. Gentiobiose exists in two different forms, one melting at 86°C and the other at 190°C. The lower melting form is dextrorotatory ([α] 16°), the higher melting one is levorotatory ([α] -6°). The rotation of an aqueous solution of either form, however, gradually changes until a final value of [α] 9.6° is observed. Hydrolysis of gentiobiose is efficiently catalyzed by emulsin and produces two moles of D-glucose per mole of gentiobiose. Gentiobiose forms an octamethylether, which on hydrolysis in dilute acid yields 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-glucose and 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-glucose. What is the structure of gentiobiose? EXPLAIN IN DETAIL.
