why comparisons of the X-ray structures of hyperthermophilic enzymes with their mesophilic counterparts have failed to reveal any striking differences between them?

#SCPH01 Biochemistry
  1. Covalent interactions almost same in thermophiles and mesophiles

  2. an increased size of the protein’s hydrophobic core

  3. Noncovalent interactions almost same in thermophiles and mesophiles

  4. Due to reduced surface-to-volume ratio

The molar ratio of sodium acetate to acetic acid in a buffer solution with a pH OF 5.76 is 10:1. Assuming the total buffer concentration is 2.2 X 10-2 mol/L, how many grams of sodium acetate (m.w. 82) and how many grams of acetic acid (m.w. 60) should be used in preparing a litre of the solution?

A solution was prepared by dissolving 0.02 moles of acetic acid (HOAc; pKa = 4.8) in water to give 1 liter of solution. What is the pH? To this solution was then added 0.008 moles of concentrated sodium hydroxide (NaOH). What is the new pH? (In this problem, you may ignore changes in volume due to the addition of NaOH).
