1. Draw the peptide DCTEVKKR at a ph 7.4 in the trans configuration.
2. Consider the peptide from #1 for the questions below.
Calculate the pI of the above peptide. (I recommend showing your work – you can attach it on a separate sheet of paper or insert pictures).
3. Based on it’s sequence of amino acids and the answer to (2) above, suggest a possible function for the peptide.
4.What interactions would contribute most to tertiary structure? Explain your choice.
5.If a neutral mutation occurred, what do you think the peptide might be changed to? Explain your choice. (Multiple correct answers are possible).

You are a microbiology lab technician and you need to quantify the viable cell concentration in your stock culture before beginning an experiment. Since you do not know the range, you perform a serial dilution over several orders of magnitude. You use the pour plate method and plate 1 ml for each dilution level, in duplicate. Give the most accurate value for the number of viable cells in the original stock culture, in CFU / ml. Just enter a number, do not type the units!
Since you want the practice, you attempt a count for all plates, even though some are likely too numerous to count. Only use values that give you the best accuracy. That means only use values that are a "countable number" of colonies (see text section).
Dilution series colony counts:
1:10: 860, 745
1:100: 123, 114
1:1000: 11, 15
1:10,000: 2, 4
