...Acis CHEMICAL REACTIONS: ACID-BASE BUFFERS Short Overview Acids and bases represent two of the most common classes of compounds. Many studies have been done on these compounds, and their reactions are very important. Perhaps the most important reaction is the one in which an acid and base are combined, resulting in the formation of water (in aqueous solution) and a salt; this reaction is called neutralization. A buffer solution is a solution that contains both an acid and a salt containing the conjugate base anion in sufficient concentrations so as to maintain a relatively constant pH when either acid or base is added. In this experiment you will prepare a buffer solution and observe its behavior when mixed both with an acid and a base. You will also compare the behavior with that of solutions containing only the acid. Theory In his theory of ionization in the 1880’s, Svante Arrhenius defined acids are substances which form H+ and bases as substances which form OH- in water. He further defined a salt as a substance other than an acid or base which forms ions in aqueous solution. Such substances are thus capable of producing an electric current and are called electrolytes. The amount of electricity produced is directly proportional to the concentration of ions in solution. With regard to electrolytes we have learned previously that strong acids and strong bases ionize completely, and are therefore strong electrolytes because they...

...Chromatography INTRODUCTION IN THIS LAB, WE WILL BE EXPRESSING THE GREEN FLUORESCENT PROTEIN (GFP) IN BACTERIA AND PURIFYING IT USING COLUMN CHROMATOGRAPHY. THE SPECIFIC TYPE OF CHROMATOGRAPHY WE WILL BE USING IS HYDROPHOBIC INTERACTION CHROMATOGRAPHY (HIC). THE FOLLOWING IS INFORMATION FROM BIO-RAD INC., THE SUPPLIER OF THE REAGENTS: GFP has several stretches of hydrophobic amino acids, which results in the total protein being very hydrophobic. When the supernatant, rich in GFP, is passed over a HIC column in a highly salty buffer (Binding Buffer), the hydrophobic regions of the GFP stick to the HIC beads. Other proteins which are less hydrophobic (or more hydrophilic) pass right through the column. This single procedure allows the purification of GFP from a complex mixture of bacterial proteins. Loading the GFP supernatant onto the chromatography column When students load the GFP supernatant onto their columns, it is very important that they do not disturb the upper surface of the column bed when performing the chromatography procedure. The column matrix should have a relatively flat upper surface. A slightly uneven column bed will not drastically affect the procedure. However, subsequent steps of loading, washing, and eluting should minimize disrupting the column such that beads "fluff up" into the buffer. When loading the GFP supernatant onto the column, the pipette tip should be inserted into the column and should rest against the side of the column...

You are provided with the following portion of a protocol: • Determine concentration of enzyme stock solution, if unknown, by taking an A280 nm reading of a 1:100 dilution (in water). Use a total volume of 1 ml in the cuvette. • Dilute some of the enzyme stock with buffer A to make a 4 mg/ml solution. • Serially dilute the 4 mg/ml solution with buffer A to make working solutions of 400 µg/ml and 40 µg/ml. • Prepare 30 µl of each working solution for every sample The PI of the lab gives you a tube of enzyme and tells you the following before disappearing into the office to write more grant proposals: ➢ There is 50 µl of enzyme stock solution. The enzyme is expensive to purify, so follow the protocol exactly, using as little of the stock solution as possible. ➢ The concentration of the stock solution is currently not known, but a 1 mg/ml concentration of the pure enzyme has an A280 nm of 2.0. ➢ You’ll be performing the assay on 12 samples. ➢ Make enough of each working solution so that you have at least 400 ul to work with when you do the assay (to cover any waste and/or inefficiencies in pippetting). Using the spectrophotometer to read the absorbance at 280 nm, you get...

...Unit 15 P5 PH report Hypothesis: the aim of this experiment was to see the effects that different levels of PH values has upon amylase enzyme activity. Apparatus: * Stirring rod * Dimple tray * Five pipettes * Syringe * Starch solution * Amylase * Iodine * Buffer of PH4, 7 and 10 * Test tube holder * Stopwatch Procedure: the first thing to do would be to ensure that you have all of the equipment needs for the experiment. The first step is to get a test tube and place it within the test tube holder, once you’ve done that you get a pipette using the pipette take some of the iodine and then very carefully put to drops of the iodine solution into the test tube. After that gets another pipette using that one to very gently to store 2 mL of the amylase enzyme solution, then very carefully put to drops of the amylase solution into the test tube. Once you’ve done that you get a third pipette and use that one to store 1 mL of the PH4 buffer, you then very carefully put the 1 mL of the pH4 buffer into the test tube, the second to last thing that is now added is 2 mL of starch. Once all of these chemicals have been put into one test tube it is then gently stirred, your lab partner will at the same time put 2 drops of iodine into 4 wells of the dimple tray, labelled 4 wells as 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds and 40 seconds, using a stopwatch keep an eye on the time and wants 10 seconds of past use a syringe get a few drops of your amylase...

...acts as a buffer against any possible changes in the pH from acids produced from bacteria, maintaining the oral cavity at an almost neutral pH level.(3) If saliva was introduced to a differing pH than its optimal pH, it would cause the amylase action to either decrease or cease functioning all together if the pH changed dramatically enough. With the given information, it could be said that salivary amylase would be at its optimal functioning level at around the average saliva pH of 6.78.(1) A change in pH would be detrimental to amylase given the protein nature of amylase and the instability of proteins in more acidic or basic pH concentrations.(3) When proteins are surrounded by an acidic pH, they become unstable due to the increase in positive charge from the disassociated hydrogen ions, the positive charge acting to pull the proteins out of their folded shape.(3) In similar opposition, when proteins are surrounded by a basic pH, they are instead pulled apart by the negative charge produced by the increased amount of hydroxide ions.(3) Methods: In this experiment, a saliva solution was procured by first rinsing the mouth with distilled water, then taking another quantity of distilled water into the mouth and mixed with saliva for 2 minutes. The prepared saliva wash was spit into a dixie cup and diluted with distilled water with roughly a 1:2 ratio of saliva solution to distilled water. Next, 7 test tubes were pipetted with 2.5 ml each of a specific pH buffer. Tube 1...

...CHAPTER 7 INFORMATION SYSTEM CONTROLS for SYSTEMS RELIABILITY SUGGESTED ANSWERS TO DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 7.1 1. Encryption is the final layer of preventative controls in that encrypting data provides a barrier against an intruder who has obtained access to company data. Encryption employing a digital signature and a public key infrastructure (PKI) can also strengthen authentication procedures and helps to ensure and verify the validity of e-business transactions. The digital signature is some sort of identifying information about the signer that is encrypted with the signer’s private key. This identifying information can only be decrypted using the corresponding public key. Since a private key is only known to it’s owner, only the owner can hold both the public and the private key and be the creator of the digital signature. Thus, digital signatures can be used to authenticate a particular party involved in a transaction as being the creator of a document. This provides for non-repudiation: the creator of the digital signature cannot deny having signed a document.. A digital certificate is an electronic document that is digitally signed by a trusted third party that certifies the identity of the owner of a pair of public and private keys. The PKI is a system that is used to process and manage the public and private keys used in digital signatures and digital certificates. An organization that handles digital certificates is called a certificate...

...Lab #10 Securing the Network with an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) Introduction Nearly every day there are reports of information security breaches and resulting monetary losses in the news. Businesses and governments have increased their security budgets and undertaken measures to minimize the loss from security breaches. While cyberlaws act as a broad deterrent, internal controls are needed to secure networks from malicious activity. Internal controls traditionally fall into two major categories: prevention and detection. Intrusion prevention systems (IPS) block the IP traffic based on the filtering criteria that the information systems security practitioner must configure. Typically, the LAN-to-WAN domain and Internet ingress/egress point is the primary location for IPS devices. Second to that would be internal networks that have or require the highest level of security and protection from unauthorized access. If you can prevent the IP packets from entering the network or LAN segment, then a remote attacker can’t do any damage. A host-based intrusion detection system (IDS) is installed on a host machine, such as a server, and monitors traffic to and from the server and other items on the system. A network-based IDS deals with traffic to and from the network and does not have access to directly interface with the host. Intrusion detection systems are alert-driven, but they require the information systems security practitioner to configure them properly. An IDS provides...
