GRADE: A+|STATUS: GUARANTEED PASS
Question 6
Define STP Conditions: 1 atm, 0C
- If constants aren't given you don't need to solve problem, but can help to know
- I missed this problem because I didn't read the passage close enough at first, which gave me
the volume I needed to solve the problem
The radiation of wavelength 605 nm CANNOT be used to produce the fluorescence radiations
depicted in Figure 3 because:
A.
the energy of the absorbed radiation must be larger than the energy of the fluorescence
radiation.
B.
the energy of the absorbed radiation must be smaller than the energy of the fluorescence
radiation.
C.
the 605-nm radiation has more energy than the 407-nm radiation.
D.
the 605-nm radiation is not visible.
HAVE TO READ THE PASSAGE CLOSELY
- sometimes I get caught up in thinking I can rationalize an answer choice from outside
conceptual knowledge when it's impossible
- it literally states almost word for word in the passage the answer
Samples from various time points of the proteolysis of TPMTwt were subjected to SDS-PAGE
under reducing conditions. Which figure best depicts the expected appearance of the gel?
Didn't pay attention to question hard enough
- really need to focus on what the question is asking
The second purification step is which type of chromatographic separation?
A.
Affinity
B.
Size exclusion

, C.
Cation exchange
D.
Anion exchange
Wasn't even paying attention to the correct part of the passage
- Neglected to answer based on where the info was in the passage, because I got stuck on prior
information
Which classification of amino acids applies to the Trp residues after photochemical
modification by CCl3CO2H?
A.
Acidic
B.
Basic
C.
Hydrophobic
D.
Polar neutral
- realized that a COOH group was added
- I was trying to think too broadly rather than following AAMC logic about what that specific
addition did to the molecule
Which type of heterocycle is found on two amino acid residues blocking access to W15?
A.
Imidazole
B.
Indole
C.
Pyrimidine
D.
Pyrrole
- How to logically think through this problem without knowing what the structure of an
imidazole is:
- Mentions in the passage that trp has is blocked by a HIS residue
- Cross out B bc in the passage it mentions trp has an indole group
- Cross out C because DNA
