Alcohol - Ketone - Amine - Ether - Amide - Ester - functional groups - Alkyl - An alkane missing a hydrogen Aromatic compound - Cyclic, planar, with every atom of the aromatic ring having a p orbital, while obeying hackles rule of 4n+2 pi electrons Vinyl - Hydrolysis Reaction - Carboxylic Acid - pKa ~ 5 Enantiomers - stereoisomers that are non super imposable mirror images Diastereomers - - Same molecular formula, same bond connections, NOT mirrors...

Tyr122 is important in the mechanism of the E. coli ribonucleotide reductase. The function of this amino acid in the mechanism is to carry out a nucleophilic attack on the substrate. coordinate water in the active site. generate the Cys439 radical species. hydrogen-bond to the phosphates of the substrate. correct answers generate the Cys439 radical species. Which of the following is the reaction for nitric oxide synthase? citrulline + NO + 1.5 NADP+ L-arginine + 1.5 NADPH + H+ + 2O2 ...

alkyl halide - Answer-compounds in which a halogen is connected to an sp3 hybridized carbon atom 2 types of rxn's alkyl halides go under - Answer-substitution and elimination substitution reaction - Answer-when treated with a nucleophile, the nucleophile replaces the halogen elimination reaction - Answer-when treated with a base, a pi bond will form creating an alkene what functions does the halogen serve in an alkyl halide - Answer-1) halogen withdraws electron density leaving the ...

Classifications of proteins are based on.... correct answer: - position in the cell (membrane/soluble/extracellular) - function (transporter/enzyme/structural/hormone) - other molecules associated w/ it (glycoprotein - sugar, lipoprotein - lipid) A salt bridge is an....bond and is an example of a.....interaction correct answer: ionic, non-covalent Are salt bridges easier to break in biochem? Why? correct answer: - Yes- Interacting w/ surrounding solvent (water) Is an O bonded to a ...

SN1 Reaction - ANSWER- Unimolecular nucleophilic substitution - 2 steps - Starting with enantiomerically pure product tends to result in some degree of racemization - Retention AND inversion at stereocenter (R and S) - 1 nucleophile is replaced by another nucleophile - Carbocation INTERMEDIATE forms - Rate is dependent only on substrate concentration 1. LG leaves, forming a carbocation 2. Nucleophile attacks the carbocation, forming the product SN2 Reaction - ANSWER- Bimolecular nuc...
