Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.31P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The number of isoprene units into which lanosterol can be divided are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Lanosterol is derived from squalene, a molecule that contains six isoprene units. An isoprene unit is a five carbon unit containing an isopropyl group at one end.
During the conversion to lanosterol, methyl groups from two isoprene units of squaleneare are believed to shift locations. This means two of the isoprene units in squalene can no longer be distinctly identified in lanosterol.
