Concept explainers
Leuprolide is a synthetic nonapeptide used to treat both endometriosis in women and prostate cancer in men.
(a) Both C-terminal and N-terminal amino acids in leuprolide have been structurally modified. Identify the modifications.
(b) One of the nine amino acids in leuprolide has d stereochemistry rather than the usual L. Which one?
(c) Write the structure of leuprolide using both one- and three-letter abbreviations.
(d) What charge would you expect leuprolide to have at neutral pH?

- This thermodynamic cycle describes the formation of an ionic compound MX2 from a metal element M and nonmetal element X in their standard states. What is the lattice enthalpy of MX2 ? What is the enthalpy formation of MX2 ? Suppose both the heat of sublimation of M and the ionization enthalpy of M were smaller. Would MX2 be more stable? Or less? or impossible to tell without more information?arrow_forward7. Draw the mechanism to describe the following transformation: Note: This is a base catalyzed reaction.
