You perform a Bradford assay to determine the concentration of isolated α-lactalbumin. You use 50 μL of a two-fold diluted solution of α-lactalbumin in the assay. You generate a standard curve with the following equation for the line: y = 0.163x + 0.082. The absorbance of your sample was 0.674 AU. What is the concentration of α-lactalbumin, in mg/mL, in your sample? Give your answer to three significant figures.
A student performed an invertase activity assay on samples from a purification. All reactions occurred in a reaction volume of 100 µL and lasted 3.1 minutes. For each reaction, 5.00 µL enzyme was mixed with 50.0 mM sucrose in 10.0 mM acetate pH 4.8. Then 400 µL of DNS was added, the samples were heated to 90 °C for 5 minutes, and 500 µL of 50.0 mM acetate pH 4.8 was added before loading a 96 well plate in triplicate. Samples were measured at 540 nm using a path length of 0.680 cm. The fraction with the highest activity had A540 of 0.904. The standard of 14.00 mM hydrolyzed sucrose had A540 of 1.047 (the concentration given is of the 100 µL sample). The no-enzyme control had A540 of 0.174. Calculate the activity of the fraction (in nmol min-1).
Calculate the volume of BSA stock that will be required to make the standard solutions needed to create the BSA standard curve. Be sure to show your work and include the volume of 0.02 M phosphate buffer required to reach a final volume of 1 mL. From a 2,000 μg/mL BSA stock, create 1 mL of each of the following stock solutions in 0.02 M phosphate buffer using individual microcentrifuge tubes: 50 μg/mL, 250 μg/mL, 500 μg/mL, 1,000 μg/mL, 1,250 μg/mL, 1,500 μg/mL. Be sure to properly label all the microcentrifuge tubes before creating the standards.

The standard curve to determine the amount of betacyanin is shown below. You extracted a red pigment from a beet disc (the mass of a disc is 2 g) using 10 ml of 20% ethanol solution. You measured absorbance of the solution above the beet disc every minute for a total time of 20 minutes. The increase in absorbance was linear during a period of time from 1 min to 10 min. The absorbance at 10 min was 0.8. Calculate the amount of betacyanin extracted from 1g of a beet tissue per minute. Explain your calculations. You can use Excel or a calculator.
Concentrations in biochemical systems are often very dilute. Consequently, scientific notation and logarithms are often used to express concentrations. In scientific notation, numbers are expressed as coefficient x 10" To convert a number to scientific notation, proceed as follows: 1. Move the decimal place so that there is one digit in front of the decimal. 2. Account for the moved decimal in the value of x. If the decimal moved to the right, x is negative; if it moved to the left, x is positive. A logarithm is basically an exponent. Unless otherwise indicated, a logarithm is the a of 10". The numbers after the decimal point are significant; the number before the decimal just identify the location of the decimal point for the number. Notice that it is easy to estimate a logarithm from scientific notation; it's the exponent! Logarithms are commonly used to express the concentration of H. The pH is defined as pH= log (In), where the base number is 2.303. The same general rules as logs…
