The above Scatchard plots are based on repeated equilibrium dialyses with a constant concentration of antibody and varying concentration of ligand. In these plots, r equals moles of bound ligand/mole antibody and c is the concentration of free ligand, (Ka) is slope while intercept on x axis represent

Precision will be reduced, but yield will be increased

Optimisation of a PCR reaction is often a compromise between the competing demands for precision, efficiency and yield. Although the specific effects may vary, generally, increasing the annealing temperature will increase non-specific primer binding and reduce precision. Increasing the length of the elongation phase will reduce the proportion of incomplete newly-synthesised strands and therefore increase yield. In this case, the potential effect on efficiency is unclear. Increasing the elongation phase would increase the reaction time, but the time taken to ramp down to a lower annealing temperature would be reduced.

To ensure turbulent conditions and minimum mixing time during agitation with a turbine impeller, the Reynolds number must be at least 10⁴. A stirred laboratory-scale fermenter with a turbine impeller 5 cm in diameter is operated at 800 rpm. If the density of broth being stirred is close to that of water. The mixing system is scaled up so the tank and impeller are 15 times the diameter of the laboratory equipment. The stirrer in the large vessel is operated so that the stirrer tip speed (tip speed = π N i D i) is the same as in the laboratory apparatus. How does scale-up affect the maximum viscosity.
