a.
To draw:
The structure of amino acid represented by “Pro”.
Introduction:
Amino acids contain a protonated
b.
To determine:
The structure of amino acid represented by “N”.
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. Amino acids have both three-letter and one-letter abbreviations. The three letter abbreviations were used first, but to sequence longer chains of amino acids, it was reduced to a single letter to transfer data more easily.
c.
To determine:
The structure of amino acid represented by “Val”.
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. Amino acids have both three-letter and one-letter abbreviations. The three letter abbreviations were used first, but to sequence longer chains of amino acids, it was reduced to a single letter to transfer data more easily.
d.
To determine:
The structure of amino acid represented by “Y”.

- 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
