| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| What governs the distribution of the solutes between the aqueous phase and the organic phase? | They are governed by their relative stabilities |
| How can one ascertain whether a layer is the organic phase or the aqueous phase? | 1. Add a drop of mystery layer to 2 mL of water 2. If the drop dissolves its from the aqueous phase 3. If drop doesn't dissolve its from the organic phase |
| Why must extraction mixtures be vented? | Most organic solvents are volatile (evaporate easily) which generates pressure in the seperatory funnel |
| What three advantages are associated with the thin-layer chromatographic technique? | 1. Small sample size 2. Easy to perform and rapid 3. Good resolution |
| What two limitations are associated with gas-liquid chromatography? | 1. Limited to a small sample sizes 2. Limited to reasonably volatile samples |
| What are the seven basic parts of a gas-liquid chromatography? | 1. Source of high-pressure pure carrier gas (hydrogen or helium) 2. Gas flow controller 3. Heated injector port 4. Column 5. Column oven 6. Detector 7. Recording device or data station |
| What three pieces of information are provided in the data table of a gas chromatography? | 1. Peak retention times 2. Peak areas 3. Percent compositions ( area %) |
| What must be available in order for GC analysis to permit compound identification? | Authentic samples of the various components in the mixture being analyzed |
| What are the six items that must be determined in order to establish the sequence of a peptide (or protein)? | 1. Cleave all disulfide bridges (DB) + alkylate resulting thiols 2. Determine constituent amino acids (kind and numbers) 3. Identify N-terminal AA 4. Identify C-terminal AA 5. Fragmentation through partial hydrolysis 6. Identify locations of any DB's |
| An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of a peptide bond at the end of the peptide chain is called? | Exopeptidase |
| What conditions are employed to "completely" hydrolyze a peptide? | 1. 6M HCl 2. 100 degrees C 3. 24 hours |
