- A fictional cubed-shaped bacterium, Bacterius cubis, occupies a volume of 2.8 femtoliters. This particular type of bacteria is known to communicate with its own species by secreting a small molecule called bactoX (MW=122.4 g/mol). A. Each bacterium contains 8850 bactoX molecules that can be secreted. How many moles of bactoX are present in a 1.2 μL sample volume that contains 3.234×102 bacterial cells? moles: _______ mol B. Calculate the molarity (mol/L) of bactoX in the 1.2 μL sample volume if all of the bacteria were to simultaneously secrete all of the bactoX molecules contained within their cell bodies into the vial. concentration: ________ M C. Scientists discovered that bactoX will induce a luminescence response in B. cubis when the concentration in a sample reaches 7.00×10 -12 M. How many molecules of bactoX must be present in solution to initiate luminescence in a 1.8 μL sample? How many individual bacteria cells does this represent? The number of bactoX…arrow_forwardA flat (not spherical) tissue engineered skin (thickness 2.5 mm) is attached to the bottom of a dish and cultured with cell media atop it (which has an oxygen concentration of 0.15 mol/m3). The diffusivity of oxygen in the skin is 3.4 E-9 m2/s, and according to experiments that you’ve performed, you want to make sure that the concentration of oxygen in the device doesn’t fall below 0.06 mol/m3. (Below that concentration harms the cells.) The rate of oxygen consumption is -5.9 E-17 mol/[cell◦s]. What is the maximum cellularity (in cells/mL, three significant digits) that this tissue engineered skin can support?arrow_forwardMike has determined that enzyme he is attempting to purify has an isoelectric point of 4.5 (pI = 4.5). He has decided to examine anion exchange chromatography as a potential purification step. He tested out using 2 different buffer and linear NaCl gradient on HPLC (like what you did). His results are shown below. Which buffer should Mike uses for his purification (both buffer has pH higher than enzyme’s pI)? Why?arrow_forward
- Absorbance is directly proportional to glucose concentration for both routine clinical glucose spectrophotometry methods: glucose oxidase method and the hexokinase method. For each one, name the final product measured in each test reaction, which is proportional to the sample glucose concentration.

I'd like the results shown on the image interpreted. Look for characteristic peaks or patterns that correspond to the absorption properties of these proteins in the visible range.arrow_forwardThe Bradford reagent gives a linear response only from 0.1 mg/mL to 1.4 mg/mL of protein concentration. Would we be able to use an "absorbance vs. concentration" line graph for samples outside of the range indicated? Justify your response.arrow_forward
- Given this, if you used 6g of vitamin Z powder to make 20 ml of solution, what is the % concentration of this solution? (I gave the image since I don't know if that info is needed to solve this question.)It also gives a follow-up, if you can help here too: You work in a lab as a summer student. One of your tasks is to make sure that there is enough cell culture medium containing antibiotics to grow bacteria. One day you realize that there is only 5 ml of 10% Antibiotic stock solution in the freezer. You decide to use it all to prepare the working culture medium with 0.01% antibiotic. In the lab there is plenty of growth medium without antibiotics. (Note: dilution in medium is like dilution in water). You remember the equation to make dilutions of stock solutions. You usually use this formula to calculate the required volume of a stock solution, but you realize it can apply here as well, even though the unknown is the final volume. So, you make that dilution. Given that each bacterial…arrow_forwardFind a method that uses some form of HPLC for the analysis of proteins. What was the stationary phase used?

How do these colonies arise in the absence of histidine? The experiment is repeated in the presence of 0.4 μg of 2-aminoanthracene. The number of colonies produced over two days exceeds 10,000.What does this indicate about 2-aminoanthracene? What can you surmise about its carcinogenicity?arrow_forwardA sample of a protein is analyzed by CE using a neutral-coated capillary with a total length of 25.0 cm and a distance to the detector of 22.0 cm. Using an applied voltage of 20.0 kV, the protein was detected at a migration time of 16.2 min. The diffusion coefficient for the protein is 2.4 x 10-7 cm?/s.
