Chapter 22, Problem 22.44QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The following observation has to be explained.

    “When deoxyhemoglobin crystals are exposed to oxygen they shatter.  On the other hand deoxymyoglobin crystals are unaffected by oxygen.”

Concept Introduction:

Hemoglobin is a globular protein.  It consists of four sub-units.  Hemoglobin binds to oxygen and transports it to various organs in our body for their proper biological functioning.  When O2 is bound to oxygen then it is called oxyhemoglobin and when O2 is released it is deoxyhemoglobin.

Myoglobin is also a globular protein and it consists of only one unit. It stores oxygen in muscle cells.

Give the product of the bimolecular elimination from each of the isomeric halogenated compounds. Reaction A Reaction B. КОВ CH₂ HotBu +B+ ко HOIBU +Br+ Templates More QQQ Select Cv Templates More Cras QQQ One of these compounds undergoes elimination 50x faster than the other. Which one and why? Reaction A because the conformation needed for elimination places the phenyl groups and to each other Reaction A because the conformation needed for elimination places the phenyl groups gauche to each other. ◇ Reaction B because the conformation needed for elimination places the phenyl groups gach to each other. Reaction B because the conformation needed for elimination places the phenyl groups anti to each other.
