DNA quantitation. You measure the absorption spectrum for a sample of DNA and obtain the values listed below. The DNA had been diluted 10 fold. Remember that a solution of DNA that is 50μg/ml (or 50ng/μl) has an absorbance of 1.0 at a wavelength of 260 nm. What is the concentration of the DNA in this sample (In this question DO NOT ignore the problem of dust in the sample and give answer in ng/ul).
A260 = 0.80 A280 = 0.40 A320 = .05 A230 = 0.40
Concentration of DNA= (A260-A320) X dilution factor X 50μg/ml
= (0.80-0.05) X 10 X 50 =375 μg/ml
The DNA concentration of the sample is 375 μg/ml.

Q5: (2) DNA quantitation. You measure the absorption spectrum for a sample of DNA and obtain the values listed below. The DNA had been diluted 10 fold. Remember that a solution of DNA that is 50μg/ml (or 50ng/μl) has an absorbance of 1.0 at a wavelength of 260 nm. What is the concentration of the DNA in this sample (In this question DO NOT ignore the problem of dust in the sample and give answer in ng/ul). A260 = 0.80...
After purification of your favorite plasmid you use a
spectrophotometer to find the concentration of your DNA and observe
the graph below. Resketch by hand this graph on your answer page
with exact axis labels and scales. Redraw the red line. Draw, in
your estimation, the absorption spectrum of what is expected of a
good DNA prep.

ou are given absorption data of a DNA and a protein solution. Draw an absorption spectrum graph using this data. A graph paper is provided below. B. Y Wavelength (nm) 200 220 240 260 260 280 300 320 DNA 0.2 0.3 0.5 1.5 1.0 0.5 Absorption Protein 0.2 0.2 0.2 0.3 0.5 1.7 1.0 0.3 0.2 0.3 3400.2
Can someone help me interpret our reading into context and
answer the following questions related.
Proteins and phenol absorb ultraviolet light. Both have absorption peaks between 260 and 300 nm. What would contamination with protein and/or phenol do to the ratio A260/A280? If your DNA solution was contaminated with protein and/or phenol, what would happen to the peak of the absorption curve (relative to the peak of a curve for pure RNA/DNA)? Does your DNA-solution seem to be contaminated with...
Lab 7 7. In this experiment, DCPIP was used to indirectly measure photosynthetic rate. If you were asked to design an experiment so that photosynthesis could be measured directly, what factors might you measure? 8. Compare your results for the absorption spectrum and the action spectrum. Explain any discrepancies between the wavelengths of light that are absorbed maximally and those wavelengths that cause the greatest photosynthetic activity. (Note that the wavelengths of light transmitted by each coloured filter can be...
1. Describe the functions of the following reagents in extraction of DNA from corn meal: proteinase K; guanidine HCI; SDS 2. Why is the ratio of the OD at 260 and 280 nm used to estimate DNA purity? 3. In one paragraph, summarize basic principles of PCR technique in your own words. List all the reagents you will need to perform a PCR experiment. Does this method tell you what genetic modifications were made? If yes, describe how you can...
