When you ran the ALP assay using pNpp, you could use a high concentration of pNpp. If you run the ALP assay using pNp and ATP, you must use a lower concentration of pNp. Why?
Answer:
ALP will catalyze a hydrolysis reaction separation of the phosphate group and resulting in the formation of products p-nitrophenol (PNP) and hydrogen phosphate. p-nitrophenol absorbs light at 405 nm so we can measure change in p-nitrophenol as ALP converts PNPP into PNP and hydrogen phosphate.
p-nitrophenolphosphate Alkaline Phosphatase > p-nitrophenol + H2PO4-
ALP activity ( U/ml) = A/V/T
A= amount of pNP generated by sample
V= volume of sample added in the assay
T= time
ALP assy using pNpp, we use high concentration of pNpp and similarly, ALP assay using pNp and ATP, we use lower concentration of pNp because of alkaline phosphatase enzyme dephosphatase substrate so less absorbs we observed. Hence use of ATP to pNp which increase amount of absorbs so that amount of enzyme activity measured.

You use the Bradford (coomassie) assay to determine the concentration of Protein A. You use bovine albumin as your standard. You determine the Protein A concentration to be 2 mg/ml. When you use Protein A as your standard, you determine the Protein A concentation of your unknown to be 3 mg/ml. Explain the discrepancy (pick ONE answer): (2 points) a. Protein A has fewer basic amino acids than albumin. b. Protein A has more acidic amino acids than albumin c....
You plan to do a proliferation assay using 10 ml of cells that you prepared in A3. You decided to use Concavalin A mitogen to measure the proliferation of T cells using a Flow cytometry proliferation assay. Your stock of Con A stock solution is 100 micrograms/ml. The recommendation is to treat the cells with a concentration of 10ng/ml. What volume of Con A will you add from the stock solution into you 10 ml cells?
What could happen if you used a high concentration of sugar in the Seliwanoff test?
For a project, the radical scavenging capacities of plant extracts, you use a DPPH assay. A 1.21x10^-4 M solution of the stable free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl DPPH has a molar absorbance of 0.690 when measured in a 0.500 cm cell at wavelength of 517 nm. calculate: a. the molar abs for dpph at this wavelength b. the abs when concentration is expressed in ppm. c. molar concentration of dpph in solution with abs of 0.929 when in a 1.00cm cell at...
QUESTION 1 Imagine you are preparing an industrial enzyme assay. The protocol says to add 20 mL of 100 mM NaCl to your assay, and the final volume of the assay is 100 ml. What is the working concentration of NaCl? The number of significant digits you include in your answer doesn't matter, but it must be in units of mM. QUESTION 2 Imagine you are preparing an enzyme assay that requires a working concentration of 10 mM NaCl. If...
In reference to working with Microsoft Excel, what problems could you run into when using a large worksheet? How can you prevent these problems? When is it appropriate to delete an entire row or column, as opposed to deleting data in the row or column?
When using a spectrometer to measure the absorbance as a function of concentration, why do we have to plot our calibration curve at the maximum wavelength (lambda max)? I know it's to get the highest point of absorbance and therefore ensure high sensitivity, but how does it affect my answers on the calibration curve? what if I didn't use lambda max?
1. a) When and why do trees use their peroxisomes? b) Which vegetable has a high concentration of carotenoids which when ingested can aid in maintaining good vision? c) Which fruit has a high concentration of the pigment, whose color is that of the plant pigment xanthophyll?
7. (a) When you try separating an unknown mixture by
reversed-phase chromatography with 50% acetonitrile/50% water, the
peaks are too close together and are eluted in the range k = 2-6.
Should you use a higher or lower concentration of acetonitrile in
the next run?
(b) When you try separating an unknown mixture by normal-phase
chromatography with 50% hexane/50% methyl t-butyl ether the peaks
are too close together and eluted in the range k = 2-6. Should you
use a...
