Concept explainers
Protein concentration can readily be determined using the Beer-Lambert law:
A = e l c
where A = absorbance
e = molar absorption coefficient (M-1cm-1)
l = light path length (cm)
c = concentration (M)
If the molar absorption coefficient at 280 nm for yeast ADH is 48860 M-1cm-1 and a 10 mL solution of the protein has an absorbance at 280 nm of 0.4 (as measured by a spectrometer with pathlength 1 cm), then what is the concentration of the protein solution (in μM)? i.e.
concentration = ______ μM
If the molecular weight of the protein is 36849, what is its concentration in mg/mL? i.e.
concentration = _______ mg/mL

- r^2=6Dt , where D is the diffusion coefficient of thediffusing object and t is the time that the object is allowed to diffuse. If the diffusion coefficient, D, of a small protein is 5 x 10^-10 m2 s-1, how long (on average) does ittake for the protein to diffuse across a parasitic wasp that is 189 um long ?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_forwardA one-to-one protein (P)-ligand (L) complexation (P + L PL) has a dissociation equilibrium constant (Kd) value of 100 nM at 25°C, and the Kd remains the same at 37°C. 1) What is AS of binding at 25°C? Assume ACp of the binding is 0 over the temperature range. AS = 1.34E2 kJ/(mol*K) (note the unit!!) (sig. fig =3) 2) What is the concentration of the PL complex formed at equilibrium when you mix 0.20 uM (microM) of Protein and 1.0 uM of Ligand together at 37°C? PL at equilibrium = 8.1E-1 uM (note the unit!!) (sig. fig =2)arrow_forward
