a.

Explanation of Solution
Alanine is a non essential amino acid. The three letter abbreviation of alanine is “Ala” and the one letter code is “A”. The side chain of alanine contains hydrocarbon as functional group.

To determine:
The structure of lysine and mark an asterisk (*) next to any chiral carbon centers
Introduction:
Amino acids contain a protonated amine and a carboxylic acid in the form of carboxylate ion. These two functional groups are bonded to a central carbon atom called the alpha-carbon. The protonated amine bonded to this carbon is called alpha-amino group and the carboxylate ion as the alpha carboxylate group. The alpha-carbon is also bonded to a hydrogen atom and a large side chain designated as R, which gives unique identification and characteristics to each amino acids.
b.

Explanation of Solution
Lysine is an essential amino acid. The three letter abbreviation of lysine is “Lys” and the one letter code is “K”. The side chain of lysine contains protonated amine as functional group.

- Using a cell of known pathlength b = 1.25115 x 10-3 cm, a water absorption spectrum was measured. The band at 1645 cm-1, assigned to the O-H bending, showed an absorbance, A, of 1.40. a) Assuming that water density is 1.00 g/mL, calculate the water molar concentration c (hint: M= mole/L) b) Calculate the molar absorptivity, a, of the 1645 cm-1 band c) The transmitted light, I, can be written as I= Ioexp(-xb), where x is the absorption coefficient (sometimes designated as alpha), Io is the input light, and b is the cell pathlength. Prove that x= (ln10)*x*c d) Calculate x for the 1645 cm-1 bandarrow_forwardConvert 1.38 eV into wavelength (nm) and wavenumber (cm-1) (c = 2.998 x 108 m/s; h = 6.626 x 10-34 J*s).arrow_forwardCan you help me understand the CBC method on metal bridging by looking at this problem?arrow_forward
