Look at the amino acids shown below. Their side chains are highlighted, Which amino acids have polar side chains? *** H,N-Ç-COOH H,N- C-COOH COOH H,N-C-COOH CH2 CH, H. H-C-CH, NH3 ČH, H. H. OH В
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.
