Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Whether coenzyme A is chiral is to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Coenzymes are derived from Vitamins. They are the substance required in small amounts for the normal functioning of the body that the body cannot synthesize in adequate amounts. They are non-proteins molecules which help enzymes for catalyzing the reaction.
A carbon atom that has four nonequivalent atoms or groups attached to it is known as chiral carbon atom. Chiral carbon centers are also called as asymmetric or stereogenic centers.
(b)
Interpretation:
The names of each functional group in coenzyme A are to be stated.
Concept Introduction:

An atom or a group of atoms that show characteristic physical and chemical properties are collectively known as
(c)
Interpretation:
An explanation corresponding to the solubility of coenzyme A in water is to be stated.

- Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine is a surfactant found in the lining of the lungs. It prevents the lungs from collapsing when the lung volume is low and protects the lungs from injuries caused by inhaled particles. Draw its structure.arrow_forwardRegarding 4-O- (α-D-psychofuranosyl) -β-D-allopyranose. Please indicate the RIGHT alternative: (a) The disaccharide reacts with CH3OH in an acid medium to form a glycoside that cannot be oxidized with HNO3. (b) It is a reducing disaccharide only in basic medium. (c) In the structure there is only one glycosidic bond that is of the type β 1-O-4 ' (d) The hydrolysis products of this disaccharide do not show mutarrotation. (e) The disaccharide structure contains two six-membered rings.arrow_forwardSeveral compounds have been found to inhibit -lactamase, and drugs based on these compounds can be taken in combination with penicillins and cephalosporins to restore their effectiveness when resistance is known to be a problem. The commonly prescribed formulation called Augmentin is a combination of the -lactamase inhibitor shown below with amoxicillin (shown above). It is used to treat childhood ear infections when resistance is suspected, and many kids know it as the white liquid that tastes like bananas. Which of the statements below are true statements? 1. The stereochemistry of the fusion between the four-and five-membered rings in the inhibitor and amoxicillin are different. 2. The inhibitor possesses enol ether and allylic alcohol functional groups while the antibiotic possesses a phenol and a secondary amide functional group. 3. Neither the inhibitor nor the antibiotic contains strained rings. 4. Both 1 and 2 are true.arrow_forward
- Digitalis is a preparation made from the dried seeds and leaves of the purple foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, a plant native to southern and central Europe and cultivated in the United States. The preparation is a mixture of several active components, including digitalin. Digitalis is used in medicine to increase the force of myocardial contraction and as a conduction depressant to decrease heart rate (the heart pumps more forcefully but less often).arrow_forwardIdentify the organic functional group and reaction type for the following reaction.
