A student added a total of 75 mL sodium hydroxide to titrate an amino acid solution with 0.5M NaOH. They also calculated that they added a total of 14 mL of sodium hydroxide to arrive at pH 2.6 and a total of 32 mL of sodium hydroxide to arrvive at pH 4.8.What was the initial concentration of the amino acid solution in milimolar (mM)?

You have isolated the enzyme sialidase from cell lysosomal extracts. This enzyme's activity is at its highest at pH 4.7. This pH is known as the enzyme's pH optimum. You need to study the activity of the protein in the laboratory a) Which buffer system would be the best buffer for you to use to assure the protein is the most active and why? Lactic Acid (CH3CH(OH)COOH and its conjugate base) pKa 3.86 Carbonic acid (H₂CO3 and its conjugate base) pka 6.35 Phosphoric acid (H3PO4 and its conjugate base) pka 2.14 b) Draw the disassociation of the acid you choose in water (labeling the acid form and its conjugate base) and determine the ratio of each you would need for your buffer.
You are conducting a biochemical experiment with an enzyme that has optimal activity at pH = 10.50. You decide to use carbonate (pKa1 = 6.38, pKa2 = 10.30) as the buffer to keep the pH stable throughout the enzymatic reaction. (Recall that the formula for carbonic acid is H2CO3.) You prepare a 0.6 M solution of carbonate buffer at pH = 10.50. Calculate the concentrations of the major carbonate species in your solution. Show your calculations.

The state of ionization of a specific amino acid is directly influenced by the pH of the surrounding medium in which the amino acid is at that time. Use the amino acid lysine and show on a rough graphical outline the transition from completely protonated to completely deprotonated.
To perform a certain activity assay it is necessary to have 0.25 mL of an enzyme at a concentration of 0.2 mgmL-1 in the presence of 0.4 mM substrate and 200 mM NaCl in a suitable buffer.
