Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The type of non-covalent bonds holding together the given solids needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Non-covalent bonds are the bonds that are formed via electrostatic interactions between molecules and not via sharing of electrons between molecules as seen in case of covalent bonds. They can be of many types such as electrostatic, p-effects, hydrophobic effects and Vander Waals forces.

- Reposting - What would the tertiary structure of the dipeptide Asp-Ser be if it was made into a polypeptide chain? (Would it form a beta pleated sheet, an alpha helix, etc) Why would it do this? What properties of this polypeptide causes this? This sub part still needs to be solved - What would the tertiary structure of Pro-ala and Glycl-L-alanine be?arrow_forwardkcat = ? an enzyme has an aspartic acid in the active site with a pKa = 4.0 and the kcat for this enzyme is directly proportional to the fraction of this side chain that is ionized. If the kcat at pH = 4.0 is 52.9x103 s-1 what is the kcat for this enzymes at pH 3.5arrow_forwardThough activation energy is just a mathematical term, what is this Term actually describing? In other words, what is happening at the molecular level when the activation energy for a given reaction is reached? Can u help me but keep it short and simple.arrow_forward

Color each central atom based on its molecular geometry and include a key for your colors. For example, color tetrahedral C’s red, trigonal planar C’s , blue, etc.arrow_forward
- resting state of the protein, the Lys 216 Schiff base has pKa = 9.5 and Asp 85 has pKa = 3.5. When the conformational change occurs, the proton that was on the Schiff base moves to Asp 85. This should tell you that one or both of these two pKas changed with the conformational change. How does the pKa of Asp 85 compare with the pKa of the Lys 216 Schiff base after the conformational change?arrow_forwardα -Amylose is an unbranched glucose polymer. Why would this polymer not be as effective a storage form of glucose as glycogen?arrow_forwardFunction of citric acid? Give me handwritten answer with explaination?arrow_forward
- Hi, can somoene help me please. -The format for the naming would include the linkage like : alpha-fructo(1->6)-galactose (just for example) - If it also has a reducing sugar and which? Thank you!arrow_forwardBiologically, how expensive are you? The elements that make up the typical adult body can be purchased from chemical supply companies for about $3,000-$4,000. However, each of those elements must be chemically bonded to together to produce the complex biological molecules of life (proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids). Using sophisticated laboratory equipment, highly trained scientists can synthesize these complex biological molecules from basic elemental building blocks, but this costs millions of dollars!Consider the differences in worth between the elemental and biomolecular components of life. Explain the difference in terms of the characteristics of life.arrow_forwardwool consists of alpha keratin, pure wool sweaters exposed to hot water shrink alarmingly, after shrinkage, it is virtually impossible to stretch the seweater back to its original shape, what do you think is the biochemical cause of this phenomenon?arrow_forward
