You run an LDH assay on one of your samples, and obtain an activity of 1.5 ∆ A/min. You then dilute the sample 1:10, and obtain an activity of 1.2 ∆ A/min. Is this the activity that you would expect from a 1:10 dilution of your original solution? Why? What is happening in these assays

In Proteomics Practicals

a) Why is it necessary to determine the amount and concentration of protein in a sample extract? (short answer)

b) If you use a number of different assays to determine the amount of protein in a sample, would you expect the value to be exactly the same? Explain your answer.

c) If you use a number of different assays to determine the amount of protein in a sample, would you expect the relative values between samples to be the same? In other words, if two samples had a relative total protein amount of 1:2 (twice as much in sample 2) in one assay, would the relative total amount determined by another assay be 1:2?

A student does a multi-step enzyme purification to extract the enzyme, P7 peroxidase from turnip squareroot. The student obtains a final volume of extract that is 33 ml, and performs an activity assay to quantify the amount of enzyme present. The student prepares a 1:20 dilution of the extract and adds 2 mu l of the diluted material to 1 ml of reaction mix in a cuvette. The delta A/min. for the assay came to 0.85, and the extinction coefficient for the product of the reaction is 36,000 M^-1cm^-1. Calculate the relative activity and total activity units for the purified enzyme. If the protein concentration is 4 mg/ml, calculate the specific activity of the purified enzyme? How does the net charge on a protein change as the pH of the solution decreases? Why?

a. For the serial dilution experiment you take 10µL of an E. coli culture and dilute it in 990µL LB. You do a total of 4 dilutions and plate 100µL of each dilution on a separate LA plate. You see 29 colonies on the second to last plate. What is the cell concentration of the original bacterial culture?

b. How many colonies would you see on the last plate?

c. For the plaque assay, your T4 bacteriophage titer is 6.8x109 pfu/mL. You do six 1:10 dilutions of the virus, putting 10µL of each dilution in a tube of top agar with 100µL of E. coli. After pouring the contents of the top agar onto an LA plate, you incubate overnight. How many plaques would you expect to see on the final plate?
