Chapter 21, Problem 113AE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of the given compound and the structures of its two isomers containing four chlorine atoms are to be drawn.

Concept introduction: An isomer is defined as molecules having a same molecular formula but with a different structural arrangement of atoms within the formula. They do not have similar properties and functional group is also differing in their structures. Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins are a group of polyhalogenated organic compounds which are highly toxic substances released as a byproduct of chemical manufacturing processes.

To determine: The structure of the given compound and the structures of its two isomers containing four chlorine atoms.

Glutathione is a tripeptide whose function is to destroy harmful oxidizing agents in the body. Oxidizing agents are thought to be responsible for some of the effects of aging and to play a causative role in cancer. Glutathione removes oxidizing agents by reducing them. In the process, glutathione is oxidized, resulting in the formation of a disulfide bond between two glutathione molecules. An enzyme subsequently reduces the disulfide bond, returning glutathione to its original condition so it can react with another oxidizing agent.a. What amino acids make up glutathione? b. What is unusual about glutathione’s structure?
