The specific rotations of the α and β anomers of D-glucose are +112 degrees and +18.7 degrees, respectively. Specific rotation, [α]D, is defined as the observed rotation of light of wavelength 589 nm (the D line of a sodium lamp) passing through 10 cm of a 1 g/mL solution of a sample. When a crystalline sample of α-D-glucose is dissolved in water, the specific rotation decreases from 112 degrees to an equilibrium value of 52.7 degrees. On the basis of this result, what are the proportions of α and β anomers at equilibrium? Assume the concentration of the open-chain form is negligible.

The enzyme glucose oxidase isolated from the mold Penicillium notatum catalyzes the oxidation of β-D-glucose to D-glucono-δ-lactone. This enzyme is highly specific for the β anomer of glucose and does not affect the α anomer. In spite of this specificity, the reaction catalyzed by glucose oxidase is commonly used in a clinical assay for total blood glucose –that is, for solutions consisting of a mixture of β-D-glucose and α-D-glucose. What makes it possible for this test to measure total blood...

A firm’s production function is ? = ?Lα ?β where A, α, and β are positive constants. The firm currently uses 500 units of labor and 40 units of capital. If the firm adds 1 more unit of labor, what happens to productivity of capital? Explain. Given a production function Q = f(L, K), if marginal product of labor and marginal product of capital are both positive, then this function displays diminishing MRTS.
