For the Organic Chemistry topic of R and S, to make the structure R, does the prioritizing number have to be in order from 1 -> 2 -> 3 clockwise or can it be clockwise from 3 -> 2 -> 1?
Some natural proteins are rich in disulfide bonds, and their mechanical properties (tensile strength, viscosity, hardness, etc.) are correlated with the degree of disulfide bonding. (a) Glutenin, a wheat protein rich in disulfide bonds, is responsible for the cohesive and elastic character of dough made from wheat flour. Similarly, the hard, tough nature oftortoise shell is due to the extensive disulfide bonding in its α-keratin. What is the molecular basis for the correlation between disulfide-bond content and mechanical properties of the protein?(b) Most globular proteins are denatured and lose their activity when briefly heated to 65 °C. However, globular proteins that contain multiple disulfide bonds often must be heated longer at higher temperatures to denature them. One such protein is bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI), which has 58 amino acid residues in a single chain andcontains three disulfide bonds. On cooling a solution of denatured BPTI, the activity of the…

- Please help me with the organic chemistry question below. The solutions are linked, as it is one question with 2 parts: 1. A. Draw a molecular orbital diagram for (2E,4E)hexa-2,4-diene and ethene below. Make sure to label orbitals, HOMO, LUMO, nodes, antibonding/bonding, and fill correctly with electrons. 1. B. Use the orbitals drawn in the previous problem to determine if a cycloadditon would occur between the two compounds mentioned and if so, would it be suprafacial or antarafacial. Be sure to specify which orbitals you are using and use those orbitals to demonstrate your answer.arrow_forwardThe molecule shown on the right in the example in the right column is the amino acid histidine, and the five-membered ring is known as aromatic. An aromatic ring has 2, 6, 10, 14, etc., electrons placed in 2p orbitals around a ring. Indicate which of the following statements must therefore be true. 1. There are a total of six electrons in the pi system (defined as electrons in 2p orbitals), including the lone pair on the ring N that is not circled. 2. There are a total of six electrons in the pi system, including the lone pair on the ring N atom that is circled. 3. The lone pair on the ring N atom that is not circled resides in an sp2 orbital on an sp2 hybridized nitrogen atom. 4. Statements 2 and 3 are both truearrow_forwardI know that the answer to this question is 60, but I am struggling to understand why. Could somebody please draw this out for me 3-dimensionally or explain to me in detail why this is the case? One explanation I've heard is that it is because when the dihedral angle between the two methyl groups is 60, the molecular dipole moment between the two chlorine atoms is the smallest, therefore the answer is 60. This explanation is meaningless to me - that does not even seem to be what the question is asking. Is it a poorly-worded question? i need good explanationarrow_forward
