Why is the increasing use of synthetic nicotine in recreational products potentially of concern to the public health community? Check all that apply. It is currently unclear whether or how FDA has regulatory authority over synthetic nicotine, potentially allowing companies to make unsubstantiated claims about these products. Synthetic nicotine is identical to tobacco-derived nicotine, so we know it is harmful. Synthetic nicotine differs from tobacco-derived nicotine in its r- and s• stereoisomer makeup, and its health effects are not well understood Synthetic nicotine is known to be more potent than tobacco-derived nicotine and so is more addictive

In the 1960s, the drug thalidomide was prescribed to pregnant women to treat morning sickness. However, thalidomide caused severe limb defects in the children of some women who took the drug, and its use for morning sick- ness was discontinued. It is now known that thalidomide was administered as a mixture of two stereoisomeric compounds, one of which relieved morning sickness and the other of which was responsible for the birth defects. What are stereoisomers? Why might two such closely related compounds have such different physiological effects?
Aromatic compounds are ubiquitous in organic systems. However, many common aromatic compounds are known carcinogens. Discuss the presence of 2 aromatic compounds in our environment (naturally or resulting from human activity). Include the sources of these compounds as well as their biological activity and health impacts.
In sickle-cell disease, as a result of a single amino acid change, the mutant hemoglobin tetramers associate with each other and assemble into large fibers. Based on this information alone, what does the sickle-cell hemoglobin exhibit? A) only altered primary structure B) only altered tertiary structure C) only altered quaternary structure D) altered primary structure and altered quaternary structure; the secondary and tertiary structures may or may not be altered
It is speculated that, in 1954, the scientist Allan Turing (who was instrumental in decoding the German Enigma code during the Second World War) ate an apple, which had been injected with a solution of cyanide, to commit suicide. How does cyanide poisoning work on a molecular level, and why can this type of toxic effect not be prevented as in the case of methanol poisoning?
Hemoglobin is a protein that carries oxygen in the blood. It is formed by two alpha subunits and two beta subunits. Which of the following statements about hemoglobin is INCORRECT? a. The structure of hemoglobin is stabilized by hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic packing and hydrophilic exposure. b. Hemoglobin has primary, secondary and tertiary structures, but no quaternary structure. c. Hemoglobin is a hetero-tetramer as it is formed by four subunits. d. It is an oligomer.
Tricyclic, anti-depressant drugs were developed from the observation that some tricyclic, anti-psychotic drugs elevated a patient’s mood. Identify the structural features of a tricyclic drug that were found to affect its action as a pure anti-depressant or a mixed anti-psychotic/anti-depressant agent and comment on the structural modifications that can be made to such an anti-depressant drug whilst retaining the essential pharmacophore.
