Biochemistry

Question 1

How many amino acids are in 1 Dalton (Da)?

Answer 1

110 amino acids

Question 2

Amphipathic

Answer 2

contains both hydrophobic and hydrophilic side chain patterns

Question 3

Electrophoresis

Answer 3

a common experiment in biochemistry that separates molecules by size, shape, or charge. an external electric field induces molecules to migrate through a porous gel matrix.

Question 4

SDS-PAGE

Answer 4

Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)

The anionic detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate serves two purposes: it coats proteins with a negative charge allowing them to migrate toward the anode and it denatures proteins

Question 5

Arrhenius acid

Answer 5

an acid is a species that produces excess H+ (protons) in an aqueous solution

are branched five-carbon molecules that are the basis for cholesterol synthesis and they can also be used in synthesis of other related molecules

Question 7

Terpene

Answer 7
