Chapter 13, Problem 13.146QP
Valinomycin is an antibiotic. It functions by binding K+ ions and transporting them across the membrane into cells to offset the ionic balance. The molecule is represented here by its skeletal structure m which the end of each straight line corresponds to a carbon atom (unless a different atom is shown at the end of the line). There are as many H atoms attached to each C atom as necessary to give each C atom a total of four bonds. Using the “like dissolves like” principle, explain how the molecule functions. (Hint: The −CH3 groups at the two ends of each Y shape are nonpolar.)
