Optical density of what, the product of Seliwanoff's test?
After adding Trichloroacetic acid, we also add 0.1% Resorcinol in 95% Ethanol and 30% hcl.
Do you think that you could perform the same experiment in vivo as you do in vitro? Why or why not?
Another thing to consider: if you stop glycolysis at the stage of producing fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, what will happen to the organism?
As I understood our teacher said that at the moment when we add Trichloroacetic acid to cell we will destroy them.
But we peformed experiment in such way:
1) isolation of enzymes from the cell mass;
2) carrying out the glycolysis reaction in vitro;
3) stopping the glycolysis reaction at the stage of fructose formation of 1,6-bisphosphate;
4) clarification of the filtrate;
5) determination of the concentration of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate
as we understood our teacher asked why we cannot
