Density

Density

1. (Science: radiology) The amount of darkness or light in an area of a scan reflects the compactness and density of tissue. Differences in tissue density are the basis for CT and MR scans.

2. (Science: microscopy) logarithm to the base 10 of the reciprocal of transmittance.

[molecular bio]calculation

... and wanna make 1L of a 0.4M solution you just add 400 mL of your 1M solution and 600 mL of water. You don't even need to know molecular weight, density or anything else. You can just derive it out of C1*V1=C2*V2 (1M*V1=0.4M*1L and solve for V1)

Re: Enzymes and activation energy.

... site). It is more than just shape that is of concern here, it is the electrostatic topology of the active site. Areas of higher or lower electron density relative to the nuclear charge in that region lead to binding or repulsion of substrate molecule(s) and make groups more or less reactive. Changing ...

Optical density Q

In an experiment it is found that the optical density of a solution of compound X was 0.7 when measured at 400nm. in a 1cm glass cuvette. The solution had been prepared by dissolving 35mg of X in 50 ml of water. What is the molar extinction coefficient ...
