(a)
Interpretation: The oxidized reactant, the reduced reactant, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the given reaction should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Change in the oxidation number of atoms involved in the reaction is one of the special characteristic of reduction reaction.
The number of electrons an atom tends to give up or gain in a chemical reaction is called oxidation number.
Oxidation: Losing electrons, increasing oxidation number.
Reduction: Gaining electron, decreasing oxidation number.
Oxidizing agent is a substance that removes electrons from another reactant in a chemical reaction and so it is reduced by taking electron onto itself and the reactant is oxidized by having its electron taken away.
Reducing agent is the element or compound in a redox reaction that donate an electron to another species and so it is oxidized.
(b)
Interpretation: The oxidized reactant, the reduced reactant, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the given reaction should be identified.
Concept introduction:
Oxidation-reduction reaction: Both the oxidation and reduction reaction occurs together in a chemical reaction. It is also known as redox reaction.

- Book problem 28-22: Human and horse insulin both have two polypeptide chains, with one chain containing 21 amino acids and the other containing 30 amino acids. They differ in primary structure at two places. At position 9 in one chain, human insulin has Ser and horse insulin has Gly; at position 30 in the other chain, human insulin has Thr and horse insulin has Ala. How must the DNA for the two insulins differ? Book problem 28-24: The codon UAA stops protein synthesis. Why does the sequence UAA in the following stretch of mRNA not cause any problems?

Piefly summarize the process of transcription. Include in your summary a list of at least 2 proteins that are involved in transcription. Your summary should be 2-3 sentences long. B. Pyrrole-imidazole polyamides such as the ones discussed in this paper are designed to bind specific sites on DNA. These types of polyamides can be used to inhibit transcription. a. Explain in 1-2 sentences how a molecule that binds to a specific DNA sequence could inhibit transcription. b. Many types of cancer are caused by problems with transcription. Explain in 1-2 sentences why a molecule like a polyamide would be better for treating a cancer caused by mis-regulations in transcription than a molecule that inhibits the functionality of RNA polymerase II. (Hint, think about side effects). C. A chemist made a similar molecule but rather than using pyrroles and imidazoles, they just used cyclopentane molecules. Would this molecule bind DNA as efficiently as the original polyamide? Explain your answer in…arrow_forward
