(problem 2.25 textbook, see page 41) Stoichiometry and Incomplete Reactions
For production of penicillin (C16H18O4N2S) using Penicillium mold, glucose (C6H12O6) is used as a substrate and phenylacetic acid (C8H8O2) is added as a precursor. The stoichiometry for overall synthesis is:
1.67 C6H12O6 + 2NH3 + 0.5O2+ H2SO4 + C8H8O2 à C16H18O4N2S + 2CO2 + 9H2O
What is the maximum theoretical yield of penicillin from glucose in g/g?
When results from a particular penicillin fermentation were analyzed, it was found that 24% of the glucose had been used for growth, 70% for cell maintenance activities (such as membrane transport and macromolecule turnover) and only 6% for penicillin synthesis. Calculate the yield of penicillin from glucose in g/g under these conditions.
Batch fermentation under the conditions described in part b) is carried out in a 100-liter Remember that only 6% of the glucose is used for penicillin synthesis. Initially, the tank is filled with nutrient medium…

- 2.arrow_forwardQuestion 2 You are using molecular modelling software to examine the X-ray crystal structure of the B2-adrenoceptor. You have access to two quality structural images of: a B2-adrenoceptor bound to a full agonist (BI-167107), and a B2-adrenoceptor bound to an inverse agonist (carazolol). You would like to understand the nature and magnitude of the conformational changes made by the B2-adrenoceptor as it moves from an inactive to active state. Question 2a What regions of the receptor would you expect to show the largest conformational changes? Provide a rationale for your answer. Question 2b Describe how you could use information from the two X-ray crystal structures to determine what the conformational changes are. G protein-coupled receptors, such as the B2-adrenoceptor, normally only have a single C-terminus end and a single N-terminus end. However, when examining the X-ray crystal structure of the B2- adrenoceptor bound to the inverse agonist, there appear to be parts of the…arrow_forwardProblem 9.4 Draw a cartoon depiction showing how you could use the DNA-binding domains of both the androgen receptor and the estrogen receptor to engineer a new pair of proteins that would bind to the DNA sequence 5'-AGGTCATAGTGTTCT-3' in the presence of rapamycin.arrow_forward
- Question: A. To explore the consequences of coupling ATP hydrolysis under physiological conditions to a thermodynamically unfavorable biochemical reaction, consider the hypothetical transformation X⟶Y, for which Δ?′°=20.0 kJ/mol. What is the ratio of [Y]/[X][Y]/[X] at equilibrium? B. Suppose XX and YY participate in a sequence of reactions during which ATP is hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi. The overall reaction is X+ATP+H2O⟶Y+ADP+Pi Calculate [Y]/[X] for this reaction at equilibrium. Assume that the temperature is 25.0 °C and the equilibrium concentrations of ATP, ADP, and Pi are 1.00 M each. C. We know that [ATP], [ADP], and [Pi] are not 1.00 M under physiological conditions. Calculate [Y]/[X] for the ATP‑coupled reaction when the values of [ATP], [ADP], and [Pi] are those found in rat myocytes.

Under these conditions, the hydrolysis of 1 mol ATP“(aq) results in the extraction of up to 31kJ of energy that can be used to do non- expansion work, such as the synthesis of proteins from amino acids, muscular contraction, and the activation of neuronal circuits in our brains. (a) Calculate and account for the sign of the entropy of hydrolysis of ATP at pH = 7.0 and 310K.

- Study problem 2 4. A coworker has just isolated a copper enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of oil sludge into soluble alcohols in the presence of O₂. There are two Cu atoms per protein, which consists of a single polypeptide chain. As the bioinorganic chemist on the project, you are given unlimited quantities of the protein for the purpose of determining the active site structure. You have at your disposal a number of physical techniques, including NMR and EPR spectrometers, a magnetic susceptometer, a Mössbauer instrument, an X-ray absorption beam line, a UV-VIS spectrophotometer, a Raman spectrometer, a magnetic circular dichroism instrument, but, alas, no X-ray diffractometer.

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid. It is the fundamental building block for an individual's entire genetic makeup. DNA consists of two long polymers of simple units called nucleotides, with backbones made of sugars and phosphate groups joined by ester bonds. These two strands run in opposite directions to each other and are therefore anti-parallel. Attached to each sugar is one of four types of molecules called bases. It is the sequence of these four bases along the backbone that encodes information. This information is read using the genetic code, which specifies the sequence of the amino acids within proteins. The code is read by copying stretches of DNA into the related nucleic acid RNA, in a process called transcription. Nucleobases (or nucleotide bases/nitrogenous bases) are the parts of DNA and RNA that may be involved in pairing). The primary nucleobasęs are cytosine (C),…arrow_forward
