To draw: Pairs of simple sketches comparing two structural isomers.
Introduction: Isomers are defined as the compounds that have similar molecular formula but different structures. They do not have same physical and chemical properties and may differ in their common name. Isomers are three types, namely structural isomers, geometric isomers, and enantiomers.

Introduction: Isomers are defined as the compounds that have similar molecular formula but different structures. They do not have same physical and chemical properties and may differ in their common name. Isomers are three types, namely structural isomers, geometric isomers, and enantiomers.
To explain: The reason why differences in isomers are biologically important.
Introduction: Carbon occurs widely in nature in both inorganic and organic forms. Organic compounds are chemical compounds, wherein, carbon atoms form the backbone of the molecule by bonding covalently. The inorganic forms of carbon are very simple carbon compound that are not bonded either to hydrogen or another carbon.

- Find the structure of a tetrapeptide using the clues presented below. Draw the chemical formula of the peptide. * Full hydrolysis of the peptide yields equimolar amounts of alanine, aspartic acid, glycine, serine and ammonia. * Sanger analysis of the peptide yields 2,4- dinitrophenylalanine. (formula, equation?) * Carboxypeptidase enzyme doesn't hydrolyze the peptide. (Why?) * Partial hydrolysis of the peptide yields the following fragments, each with unknown order: Ser, Ala, Gly Gly, Asp NH3arrow_forwardplease determine the bond orders and compare the bond lengths of N2, N2-, and N2^2-species Using molecular orbital (MO) energy-level diagram,arrow_forwardΦ and ψ in the Ramachandran plot (below) are: a) Rotational angles around the bond between the α-carbon and N-H (Φ) and C=O (ψ). b) Amino acid solubility in octanol (Φ) and water (ψ). c) Hydrogen bond angles in α-helices (Φ) and β-sheets (ψ). d) Amino acid solubility in water (Φ) and octanol (ψ).arrow_forward
