The last page provides space for preliminary work State which chemicals or products were used in the laboratory this term for each of the following purposes. N.B. The chemicals or products must be given their full names and be spelled correctly. (a) To produce a purple precipitant band in the final step of the staining sequence for lactate dehydrogenase. (b) To form the polar phase when adsorption chromatography was used. (c) To act as the substrate in the assay used to measure lysozyme activity. (d) To act as an oxidising agent in the assay used to measure blood glucose concentrations. (e) To form a coloured complex in the assay used to measure blood glucose concentrations. (f) To bring about a change in the structure of RNA to facilitate its separation from DNA. (g) To form a coloured complex in the assay used to measure DNA concentrations. (h) To yield a purple complex upon reaction with peptide bonds.

2 April 14, 2001, 1:30 AM - 4:30 PM Page 2 (of 4) Biochemistry II Lab Section Final Examination Examiner: Dr. A. Scoot 2. The purification of lactate dehydrogenase from a skeletal muscle extract prepared in 0.1M TRIS buffer, ph 8.0 was compared using three different columns. The protein content of 1.0 ml of a 1 in 10 dilution of the extract was found by biuret assay to be 4.0 mg. The enzyme activity in 0.1 ml of a 1 in 100 dilution of the extract was found to be 2.0 enzyme units. One unit of enzyme activity is measured as the oxidation of one micromole of NADH + per min. A 10 ml aliquot of muscle extract was applied to each of the three columns. With column 1 (Sephadex G - 100, MW range ,000) most of the enzyme appeared in fraction 1 (the first of twelve fractions) where the fraction volume was 5 ml. The protein content of the fraction was 4.0 mg/ml while the enzyme activity in 0.1 ml of a 1 in 100 dilution of the fraction was 2.0 enzyme units. With column 2 (Sephadex G - 150, MW range 5,000 to 300,000) the fraction containing most of the enzyme was number 10 (the tenth of twenty fractions) where the fraction volume was 10 ml. The protein content of the fraction was 5.0 mg/ml and the enzyme activity in 0.1 ml of a 1 in 40 dilution of the fraction was 2.0 enzyme units. With column 3 (CM-Sephadex ph 8.0) the enzyme was eluted with 0.1M TRIS, ph 8.0 in fraction 1 where the fraction volume was 20 ml. The protein content of the fraction was 4 mg/ml and the enzyme activity in 0.1 ml of a 1 in 40 dilution of the fraction was 2.0 enzyme units. For the following show all your calculations and where appropriate explain your answers. 4 (a) Which of the three columns would you choose if you were interested in the best percentage yield of enzyme?

3 April 14, 2001, 1:30 AM - 4:30 PM Page 3 (of 4) Biochemistry II Lab Section Final Examination Examiner: Dr. A. Scoot 5 (b) Which of the three columns gave the best purification of the enzyme? 2 (c) What does the elution profile from each of the three columns tell you about the molecular weight of the enzyme? Column 1 Column 2 Column 3

4 April 14, 2001, 1:30 AM - 4:30 PM Page 4 (of 4) Biochemistry II Lab Section Final Examination Examiner: Dr. A. Scoot 2 (d) What does the elution profile from each of the three columns tell you about the pi of the enzyme? Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 2 (e) If the fractions containing the lactate dehydrogenase were subjected to electrophoresis at ph 8.0 which direction would the enzyme migrate on the cellulose acetate strip? Explain your answer. 2 (f) If the extract was treated with urea and then applied to column 1 the enzyme activity would appear in fraction 9. Explain this observation.
