Redraw it and identify all the functional groups present. What is known about itstherapeutic properties?arrow_forwardBetamethasone is a synthetic anti-inammatory steroid used as a topical cream for itching. Betamethasone is derived from cortisol, with the following structural additions: a C=C between C1 and C2, a uorine at C9, and a methyl group at C16. The configuration at C9 is R, and the configuration at C16 is S. Draw the structure of betamethasone.arrow_forward
- One step in the gluconeogenesis pathway for the biosynthesis of glucose is the partial reduction of 3-phosphoglycerate to give glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. The process occurs by phosphorylation with ATP to give 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate, reaction with a thiol group on the enzyme to give an enzyme-bound thioester, and reduction with NADH. -OPO3²- Enz-SH H-C-OH ATP CH₂OPO3²- 3-phosphoglycerate O 0-0--0 O ADP CH₂CH3 substitute for 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate C H-C-OH CH₂OPO3²- 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate O=C CH3-SH substitute for Enz-SH H H-C-OH | CH₂OPO3²- PO4³- O. S-Enz H-C-OH glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate Propose a structure for the first intermediates in the reaction of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate with a thiol group on the enzyme to form an enzyme-bound thioester. Assume a basic group on the enzyme catalyzes the formation of this intermediate. To simplify the drawing process, substitute the structures below for the 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate and Enz-SH.
