Chapter 7.2, Problem 3CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Ø Aquaporins exclude passage of hydronium ions (H3O+), but some aquaporins allow passage of glycerol, a three-carbon alcohol (see Figure 5.9), 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?

yeasts are able to produce high internal concentrations of glycerol to counteract the osmotic pressure of the surrounding media. suppose that a sample of yeast cells were placed in a 4% sodium chloride solution by weight.
The density of solution is at 25 C = 1.02 g/ml, Molecular weight of solute = 58.44 g/mol, i of glycerol = 1 and R=0.08205 L-atm/mol-K
What is the weight of solute in grams
What is the moles of solute
What is the volume of the solution in liters
What is the molarity of the solution
What is the value of the temperature to be used to solved for the osmotic pressure of the solution
What is the osmotic pressure of solution
Consider a negatively charged protein adsorbed on anion-exchange gel at pH 8. (a) How will a gradient from pH 8 to some lower pH be useful for eluting the protein? (b) How would a gradient of increasing NaCl concentration (at constant pH) be useful for eluting the protein?
An H+ ion is smaller than an H2O molecule, and a glycerol molecule, a three-carbon alcohol, is much larger. Both readily dissolve in H2O. Why do aquaporins fail to transport H+ whereas some can transport glycerol?

Your Answer: Answerarrow_forwardPart A Bacteria have a membrane potential, although the mechanisms of how it is maintained diffor from those of mammalian cells. The transport of protons across the cell membrane is an important part of the machanism, so a bacterium's membrane potential varies with the proton concentration-the pH-of the surrounding fluid. One strain of bacteria was found to have a membrane potential of -120 mV at a pH of 7.5. A bacterium can be modeled as a 1.5-um-diameter sphere.

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_forwardHow does NH4SO4 affect water structure? What does this have to do with protein solubility? I thought the answer was that NH4S04 attracts H2O so the protein doesn't bind to H2O allowing the protein to bind to each other.
