A sample weighing 3.082 g is a mixture of Fe2O3 (molar mass = 159.69) and Al2O3 (molar mass = 101.96). When heat and a stream of H2 gas is applied to the sample, the Fe2O3 reacts to form metallic Fe and H2O(g). The Al2O3 does not react. If the sample residue (the solid species remaining after the reaction) weighs 2.637 g, what is the mass fraction of Fe2O3 in the original sample?

The H2 antagonist burimamide showed poor bioavailability in clinical trials.
(i) Define the term bioavailability. In your answer, distinguish
bioavailablility
from bioactivity.
(ii) Protonation of the imidazole ring was identified as a reason
for the low
bioavailability of burimamide. Explain, using appropriate
structures, why
thiaburimamide, which features a sulfur atom in the alkyl chain,
led to
increased bioavailability.
(iii) Thiaburimamide, also led to a modest increase in
bioactivity. Propose a
reason for this increase in activity.

Your project should be on temperature adaptation or thermostability of proteins.
For a temperature adaptation project select an ectothermic organism with sub-species living in different climates. You will then focus on one protein, preferably an enzyme, for which you need to find amino acid sequences (one for each sub-species). You also need at least one crystal structure of this protein with enough sequence similarity to your selected amino acid sequences to make it feasible to create homology models. Finally, you will make comparisons between the structures or homology models while focusing on structural features that promote protein stability.
OR
For a thermostability project select a thermophilic organism (for example a bacterium thriving in a hot spring) and one protein, preferably an enzyme for which a crystal structure is already available. Next, you will need to search for crystal structures and/or amino acid sequences of your selected protein in other non-thermophilic organisms so that you can make comparisons between the crystal structures (or homology models). Aim to identify structural features that promote the thermostability of the protein from the thermophilic organism.
State the parameters of your project:
Species:
Protein(s):
PDB ID:
Confirm that you will have access to protein sequences and at least one protein structure (as a template for homology modeling) so that you can carry out your project. Post the access codes for the sequences and the PDB-ID(s) here:
Make a list of structural features that promote protein stability:
Note: Except the isocitrate dehydrogenase protein.

Most stars, including our own sun, undergo nuclear fusion using hydrogen as the primary fuel source. Some stars, however, use helium, carbon, or other elements as their primary fuel, and all stars will have at least trace amounts of many other elements. Describe a way you can use the concepts of atomic spectroscopy to determine the elemental composition of stars.
