Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structure for the given compound should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Glycerol:
The catabolism of fat which actually contain 3
Glycerol is polyol compound and its structure is as follows, which is actually the base of all lipids.
Adenosine triphosphate ATP: The main job of ATP is to store energy and release it when cell is in need of energy.
Kinase: It is enzyme which serves as a catalyst in reaction of transferring phosphoryl group into the substrate.
Substrate: The molecule where the reaction takes place with help of enzymes.
R and S nomenclature: it is used to assign the molecule using CIP rules.
The CIP rules are as follows:
Select the chiral carbon and assign the numbers according to the decreasing
If the numbering follows clockwise direction then the molecule is termed as R and if it follows anti-clockwise direction then molecule is termed as S.
