Draw the curved arrow mechanism for the first step toward the major product in the nitration of 2,6-dibromopyridine with NO2+ (step 1) generated from HNO3 and H2SO4. If you predicted the correct regiochemistry in the first step, then the nitrogen in the ring should not be postively charged in any major resonance contributors of the intermediate. From the step 1 product, draw a single curved arrow leading to the step 2 resonance contributor. Draw all curved arrows, atoms, electrons, and charges, if necessary, on all structures; do not draw any inorganic side products or counterions. The structures should all have a neutral nitrogen in the ring.
Catalysis and Enzymatic Reactions
Catalysis is the kind of chemical reaction in which the rate (speed) of a reaction is enhanced by the catalyst which is not consumed during the process of reaction and afterward it is removed when the catalyst is not used to make up the impurity in the product. The enzymatic reaction is the reaction that is catalyzed via enzymes.
Lock And Key Model
The lock-and-key model is used to describe the catalytic enzyme activity, based on the interaction between enzyme and substrate. This model considers the lock as an enzyme and the key as a substrate to explain this model. The concept of how a unique distinct key only can have the access to open a particular lock resembles how the specific substrate can only fit into the particular active site of the enzyme. This is significant in understanding the intermolecular interaction between proteins and plays a vital role in drug interaction.
