Tetrachloroethylene

An overview of the contaminant including sources of the contaminant to the environment, any historical event that is related to the release of this contaminant and the chemical properties of the contaminant.

How does the contaminant move throughout the environment and where is it primarily found (air, water, soil, sediment…)

What organisms are exposed to this contaminant and and how is it taken up by the organism (dermal, inhalation, food….)

Does this contaminant bioaccumulate? If so, what are the factors that influence this bioaccumulation?

What is the toxicity mechanism of this contaminant (who do is affect, does the toxicant act at the molecular, cell, tissue or organ level, is the toxicity lethal or sublethal…).

Describe the effect of this contaminant at the population and ecosystem level.

Are there any regulations in place for this contaminant?

Identify a snack that you have eaten. Indicate the amount of carbohydrates in each serving of the food source. Calculate the energy content provided from only the carbohydrates present in one serving of the item.

Module 6 Discussion

Identify a snack (or meal) that you have eaten. Indicate the amount of carbohydrates in each serving of the food source. Calculate the energy content (with proper unit) provided from only the carbohydrates present in one serving of the item. Keep in mind that calorie (cal) and Calorie (Cal) are not the same.

Include the following in your discussion:
Identify the food source (detailed; i.e. four Ritz low sodium crackers)
Serving size
Amount of carbohydrates in a single serving
Carbohydrate Calorie content calculation per serving (reported with two significant figures and correct unit).

Provide the name of an organic compound that may be used in everyday life. Indicate the purpose/use of the compound and identify a minimum of three functional groups present in the molecule.

Module 4 Discussion

Provide the name of an organic compound that may be used in everyday life (e.g. medications, fuels, vitamins, illegal drugs, etc.). Indicate the purpose/use of the compound and identify a minimum of three functional groups present in the molecule. At least one functional group should be identified from each of the following categories:

hydrocarbons: alkene, alkyne, aromatic
carbon-heteroatom (single bond): alcohol, phenol, thiol, ether, amine
carbonyl groups: aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, ester, amide

What do the amino acids that react with the Bradford reagent and give a result for A280 have in common? Do you think all proteins have the same or different percentages of these reactive amino acids?  How might this affect the concentration determining assays?

Protein Quantification

Lab 3: Protein Quantification Report

Data you will need:

hen egg white lysozyme extinction coefficient: 36,000 M-1cm-1

hen egg white lysozyme molecular weight: 14,313 g/mol concentration of your lysozyme stock solution: mg/ml (get this from your TAs)

 

 

  1. Based upon the A280 value of your unknown lysozyme sample, and the Beer-Lambert law, calculate the lysozyme concentration of your unknown. Show your work below, and report the concentration in mM.
  2. Fill out this table for each of your lysozyme stock solution dilutions:
Amt stock solution Amt water Total volume Conc (mg/ml) Conc. (mM)
         
         
         
         
         
         

 

  1. Using EXCEL (or some similar program of your choice), plot A595 vs concentration (in mM) for the samples in the above table. This is your lysozyme standard curve. Print out the standard curve and attach it below. Indicate on the graph the A595 value of your unknown, and draw a horizontal line to the standard curve, then a vertical line from the curve down to the x-axis to read your unknown lysozyme concentration. Your standard curve must include x and y labels, and appropriate units! Record your unknown concentration here  (mM).
  2. You have calculated the lysozyme concentration of your unknown solution by two different UV/VIS methods. Do they agree with each other? How much are they different from each other? Which method do you think is more accurate?
  3. What do the amino acids that react with the Bradford reagent and give a result for A280 have in common? Do you think all proteins have the same or different percentages of these reactive amino acids?  How might this affect the concentration determining assays?
