Question

Addition (chain-growth) polymerization reactions
often terminate by combination or
disproportionation. However, there is another class
of deactivation reactions, called chain transfer
reactions, which are usually relevant to the final
degree of polymerization (dp). How might you
expect the dp of a polymerization reaction
deactivated by chain transfer compare/contrast
with polymerizations terminated by combination or
disproportionation?

Proteins are naturally occurring polymers formed by condensationreactions of amino acids, which have the generalstructure In this structure, — R represents — H, — CH3, or anothergroup of atoms; there are 20 different natural amino acids,and each has one of 20 different R groups. (a) Draw the generalstructure of a protein formed by condensation polymerizationof the generic amino acid shown here. (b) When only afew amino acids react to make a chain, the product is called a“peptide” rather than a protein; only when there are 50 aminoacids or more in the chain would the molecule be called a protein.For three amino acids (distinguished by having three differentR groups, R1, R2, and R3), draw the peptide that resultsfrom their condensation reactions. (c) The order in which theR groups exist in a peptide or protein has a huge influence onits biological activity. To distinguish different peptides andproteins, chemists call the first amino acid the one at the “Nterminus” and the last one the…
