Textbook Question
Chapter 5.2, Problem 3CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Aquaporins exclude passage of hydronium ions (H3O+), but some aquaporins allow passage of glycerol a three-carbon alcohol (see Figure 3.13) as well as H2O. Since H3O+ is closer in size to water than glycerol is, yet cannot pass through, what might be the basis of this selectivity?

Chemistry
Q4 1mL of the stock solution acetaminophen (1mg/mL) is used for the estimation of PC using n-octanol. After extraction, 0.1mL of the extracted solution was added to 0.9mL of water and 100uL of this solution was loaded in 96 well plate to the absorbance at 260nm. If the observed absorbance of the extraction phase is 0.2 using the following standard curve equation, Calculate the concentration of acetaminophen in aqueous Phase.
Note: If you need the standard curve equation, please make It up because I want to understand the concept.
Please explain in steps like how to approach the problem

- 6-One method to determine proximity of two locations in a protein molecule or protein complex is FRET. This technique uses fluorescence transfer between two fluorophores where the ability of the transfer to occur is correlated to distance between the two residues. A) On the following graph using colored pencils, pens, or markers draw the emission spectra from the donor and the absorbance spectra of the acceptor (this should be a general schematic, does not need to be a FRET pair). Include a key for your graph B) As a rescarch student in my group you want to study the proximity of two residues in clamp region of a protein. Draw a schematic of your protein and label the two locations of your fluorophores. In 2-4 sentences (or figures) explain how your FRET fluorophores would give determine if these two residues were close to one another.arrow_forwardEXPLORING CATALASE ACTIVITY 1.

Imagine if extracellular and intracellular fluids were made of oil instead of water. How would the phospholipids arrange themselves? A. The hydrophilic heads would be oriented toward the middle, with hydrophobic tails pointing outward. B. The hydrophobic heads would be oriented toward the oil, so outward; the hydrophilic tails would be pointed inward. C. The hydrophobic tails would be oriented inward, while the hydrophilic heads would point outward.arrow_forwardHow does NH4SO4 affect water structure? What does this have to do with protein solubility?
