Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 11TYU
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: ORGANIZATION In 1918, an epidemic of sleeping sickness caused an unusual rigid paralysis in some survivors, similar to symptoms of advanced Parkinson's disease. Years later, L-dopa (below, left), a chemical used to treat Parkinson's disease, was given to some of these patients. L-dopa was remarkably effective at eliminating the paralysis, at least temporarily. However, its enantiomer, D-dopa (right), was subsequently shown to have no effect at all, as is the case for Parkinson's disease. In a short essay (100-150 words), discuss how the effectiveness of one enantiomer and not the other illustrates the theme of structure and function.

- Cone snails are carnivores that inject a powerful set of toxins into their prey, leading to rapid paralysis. Many of these toxins are found to bind to specific ionchannel proteins. Why are such molecules so toxic? How might such toxins be useful for biochemical studies?arrow_forwardA group of researchers have isolated three novel compounds from the venom of a newly discovered species of wasp. Based on their structure and protein chemistry, the researchers believe that all three compounds may have strong anti-inflammatory activity and they have devised an experiment to test whether their compounds can reduce muscle damage after exercise. They plan to induce muscle damage in mice by causing repeated eccentric contractions (by running them downhill on a treadmill), and then examine the amount of inflammation in the muscles of their mice 24hrs later. They will use the following treatment groups: Sample 1) no treatment (control) Sample 2) 1mg/kg of Compound ‘A’ Sample 3) 1mg/kg of Compound ‘B’, and; Sample 4) 1mg/kg of Compound ‘C’. They perform their experiment and analyse their results using ANOVA followed by a post-hoc test.

Do some research to see if and how these methods have been used to characterize these molecules. What structural information can be obtain using each method? What are the limitations of each method? Lastly, if you were to use only one which would provide the most detailed structural characterization?
