This lab examines the relationship between the absorbance of light by a solution at 595 nm and the concentration of the Coomassie Blue dye-BSA protein complex in the solution. State whether the following descriptions of the lab experiment are valid or not, and explain why you say Yes or No: a.The experiment would be significantly more accurate if absorbance readings were recorded for a range of wavelengths, not just for 595 nm. b.The experiment has limited accuracy because it does not account for the absorbance of light by the other components (components that are not the dye-protein complex, such as excess dye that is not bound to any protein) of the solution. c.The absorbance reading measures practically all the protein content in the solutions

A chemistry student at GGC synthesized a new sulfonamide (S7) drug to help treat malaria. Using a spectrophotometer the student observed that S7 converts to a colorless molecule in the presence of malaria parasite called Plasmodium falciparum. To study the rate of reaction, the student recorded the absorbance/amount of S7 at a wavelength of 570 nm. The results are summarized in the table below: Time (s) Absorbance/Amount of S7 0.80 0.63 10 0.50 15 0.40 20 О.32 25 0.25 30 0.20 Determine the half-life of S7.

Reflect on the need for positive and negative controls in presumptive testing with colorimetric tests. As an example: the Marquis test was used on a sample suspected to contain amphetamine in a “field” sample, so the sample is likely impure.

(C) What properties of the sample can introduce uncertainty in the color determination? (D) How can inter-operator error be reduced in reporting the results of a test like this?
The amino acid sequence (primary structure) and 3D shape (tertiary structure) of the rhodopsin has been determined and the various protein domains have also been identified with precision (see figures below). The red arrow indicates the amino acid lysin (K) that binds to the oxygen of the retinol (indicated by the blue arrow). The purple arrow indicates the retinal bound to the rhodopsin. In healthy individuals, retinal is abundant and can binds to the rhodopsin, making it functional (light-sensitive).
