A) electrophoresis b) chromatography c) NMR d) mass spectrometry MALDI-TOF is a special application of which method? A) electrophoresis b) chromatography c) NMR d) mass spectrometry Complete 3-dimensional images of proteins may be obtained using which method(s)? A) mass spectrometry b) NMR c) x-ray crystallography d)b and c Complete 3-dimensional images of proteins in solution may be obtained using which method(s)? A) mass spectrometry b) NMR c) x-ray crystallography d)b and c Complete 3-dimensional images of proteins in the solid state may be obtained using which method(s)? A) mass spectrometry b) NMR c) x-ray crystallography d)b and c The fluorimetric/spectrophotometric method which uses antibodies is called: a) MAIDI-TOF b) NOESY c) Western blotting d) ELISA The protein pyruvate decarboxylase catalyzes the following reaction: Pyruvate + coenzyme A = acetyl Co- A + CO_2 The molecules biotin and lipoic acid are needed for pyruvate decarboxylase to function properly. List each of these substances as enzyme (E), substrate (S), product IP) or cofactor .

Explanation / Answer

1) Polyacrelamide is c) a material used to make protien electrophoresis gel. When voltage is applied the smallar protiens moves faster than larger one in the gelof acrelamide.

2) Reagent used for Edman sequancing method is b) Phenylisothiocyanate. This reagent reacts with amino group of terminal amino acid & which is selectively seperated from amino acid.

3) Ultracentrifugation is used for d) determination of Molar mass of protiens. Molar mass is determined without using molar mass standerds or interferences in sieving matrix.

4) To determine location of protiens in cell d) Fluoroscence microscopy is used. This can be done by using reporter protiens or fluorescent dyes.
