As we’ve discussed, a peptide bond is made when amino group of one amino acid combines with the carboxylic acid group of another amino acid (releasing a water molecule in the process). The C-N bond formed in this process is called a peptide bond. Peptide bonds have a few properties that might be unexpected. a) One property is that the molecular geometries around the C and N atom in the peptide bond are generally planar with bond angles of approximately 120 degrees. Provide an explanation for why the peptide bond would have this property, using Lewis structures, VSEPR theory and/or valence bond theory as appropriate.
Researchers discover a new amino acid. Its R-group exclusively has hydrogen and carbon atoms. What behavior will this amino acid show? O Relative to the amino acids found in organisms, its interactions with water will be very high. It is hydrophilic. Relative to the amino acids found in organisms, its interactions with water will be intermediate. It is hydrophobic.
Net Charge on an Amino Group.The amino acid glycine has hydrogen as its side-chain (R) group. Values of pKca= 2:36 and pKaa=9:56 have been previously reported for glycine. Superscripts c, a, and s refer to a-carboxylic acid, α-amino base, and side chain, respectively. Using these values, determine the net charge on the a-amino group of glycine at a physiologic pH of 7.2 and a pH of 3 [70].
For the amino acid alanine, the major species in solution at pH 7 is the zwitterionic form, which has a negatively charged carboxylic acid group and a positively charged amino group. There is a less common neutral form in which neither group is charged. The carboxylic acid group of alanine has a p?a of 3 The amino group of alanine has a p?a of 8 Estimate the ratio of the concentration of the neutral amino acid species to the zwitterionic species at pH 7. __?__x10^?

Which statement is false about a globular protein that performs its biological function as a single independent polypeptide chain? O a. Its tertiary structure is likely stabilized by the interactions of amino acid side chains in non-neighboring regions of the polypeptide chain. It likely has extensive quaternary structure to maintain its globular shape. b. Oc. Non-covalent forces are the primary source of stability for the secondary and tertiary structure. Ⓒd. it could contain a-helices that are stabilized by hydrogen bonding.
