This question relates to morphine (shown below) and the relationships between changing chemical structure and biological activity.  Intermolecular interactions play a key role in the binding of morphine to its receptor. State the types of interaction that may occur and discuss the key structural features of morphine associated with these interactions. (b) With respect to the parent compound, explain in detail how modifying the rings shown as A, B, C, D and E in morphine can affect the biological activity associated with the molecule.
