We did an assay for apyrase activity. What was the function of acid molybdate in that assay?
Homework Answers
Phosphate test is used to determine the concentration of phosphate present in a solution. In the given assay, Apyrase releases Pi from substrate (AMP). The released Pi is quantified using ammonium molybdate.
Apyrase
AMP ---------------> Adenine + Pi
(NH4)2MoO4 + Pi --------> H3PMo12O40
H3PMo12O40 + HMG+2 --------> MG+ (H2PMo12O40) + 2H+
HMG+2: Malachite green: Yellow in colour, Lambda max = 446 nm
MG+ (H2PMo12O40): Green in colour, Lambda max = 640 nm
Spectrometer readings for the absorbance values can be plotted against a standard curve to calculate the activity of the enzyme.

In a standard assay for LDH activity we used a phosphate buffer, pyruvate, and NADH with the LDH enzyme. I don't understand what happens when we replace the NADH with NADPH and why does LDH have a preference for NADH over NADPH

In biochemistry, we use a 'Bradford Assay' to calculate the concentration of protein in a sample. This method uses the same principles of the standard curve from this experiment. In a Bradford Assay, a standard curve is prepared using a known protein, typically Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA), but rather than measuring the density, we can measure a different property - its 'absorbance'. The graph below is representative of a standard curve from a Bradford Assay (with the line equation displayed...

What can cause a low percent yield? In lab we did fischer esterification using benzoic acid and methanol to yield methyl benzoate. 3.05 grams of benzoic acid were used and 1.10 grams of methyl benzoate were produced. We also washed the product multiple times with water, 10% sodium bicarbonate solution, then saturated sodium chloride solution. Could the washing cause a low percent yield? If so, can you explain why?

In this experiment, we did a Fischer Esterification using excess acetic acid, isopentyl alcohol, and sulfuric acid to form isopentyl acetate. Then sodium bicarbonate and NaCl were used in the extraction step of the experiment. Is there another method we could have used to calculate percent yield other than using the amount of isopentyl acetate? What are the advantages and disadvantages? (Using GC is not the answer we are looking for.)
