The following data was collected from a TLC plate for 4 different compounds. The distance's traveled by each is shown below: Spot A: 8.2 cm Spot B: 0.7 cm Spot C: 6.5 cm Spot D: 1.3 cm The spotting line was placed 1.5 cm above the base and the solvent traveled 10.5 cm from the bottom of the plate. Calculate the Rf value for each compound. My answers to this were A: 0.78 B: 0.067 C: 0.62 D: 0.12 I...

A TLC plate showed two spots with Rf values of 0.25 and 0.26. The plate was removed from the developing chamber, the residual solvent was allowed to evaporate from the plate, and then the plate was returned to the developing chamber. What would you expect to see after the second development was complete?

1. Which of the following statements is FALSE? A. The amino acid pool is the body's total supply of amino acids in the body's proteins. B. Fats and carbohydrates are oxidized directly to produce cellular energy. C.Amino acids can be used to supply energy only after being converted to a citric acid cycle intermediate. D. Excess carbohydrate and fat can be stored as such, whereas excess amino acids are oxidized for energy or converted to fat or glycogen for storage....

1). Where do the hydrophobic amino acid residues usually end up in a folded protein and why? How does hydrogen bonding play a role in stabilizing the beta-sheet structure? Where do the R groups then end up in this structural pattern? 2). Why is the alpha-helix so commonly found? Describe the structural basis of this conformation. 3). How do amyloid-beta peptides aggregate and eventually cause Alzheimer's disease? Where do the amyloid-beta peptides come form (what protein are they from and...
