Term
Absorption Spectrum
Definition
The spectrum formed by electromagnetic radiation that has passed through a medium in which radiation of certain frequencies is absorbed.
Term
1. As a method for characterization and identification of a compound (instrument used as a spectrophotometer)
2. As a method for determining the concentration of a compound in solution (instrument used as colorimeter)
Definition
How is Spectrophotometry
Term
Extinction Coefficient
Definition
(Optical density per unit concentration) relates the concentration of the substance being measured (in moles) to the absorbance of the substance in solution (how well the substance in solution blocks light beamed through it from getting out on the other side).
Term
--> Purine, Pyrimidine, Amino acids
DNA absorption at 260 nm
Protein absorption at 280 nm (tryptophan, histadine, tyrosine)
Definition
______ and ______ bases are stronger absorbers per residue than the ______.
Term
Equation of Optical Density
Definition
log Io/I or -logT
Term
Number, molecules, absorbing substance
Definition
In Solutions, OD is proportional to the ____ of _______ of _______ _______ per unit volume of solution.
Term
Beer Lambert Law
Definition
O.D. = E x c x l
Term
optical density
Definition
This law states that there is a linear relationship between concentration and __________.
Term
Standard Curve
Definition
can be used to obtain the concentration of Bromophenol Blue or protein in solutions of unknown concentration.
Term
Serial Dilution
Definition
A serial dilution is the stepwise dilution of a substance in solution.
