6. Retinal is a conjugated chromophore that is responsible for our ability to see. Retinal iscovalently bound to the protein Rhodopsin through a lysine residue.CHORhodopsin |NH2+6.1 Draw a non-enzymatic mechanism to describe the formation of the imine betweenretinal and lysine. For simplicity, use R-NH2 to represent lysine.6.2 During the visual cycle, retinal absorbs a photon and this leads to a conformation change.The bond between retinal and the protein is hydrolyzed and retinal is disconnected fromthe protein. Draw an arrow-pushing mechanism describing this hydrolysis step(remember that this is the reverse reaction for imine formation).

According to the paper, F486 is a phenylalanine residue (i.e., an amino acid that is part of a chain that forms a protein) on SARS-CoV-2. It has an important interaction with ACE2 (best seen in Fig. 1(C) and Fig. 2(A)). Looking at this phenylalanine and the green residues surrounding it, which statement best describes the interaction that could be occurring? a) It forms a hydrogen bond with Y83. b) It forms a dipole-dipole interaction with M82. c) It forms London dispersion forces with surrounding residues. d) It encounters repulsions from surrounding residues.
