Interpretation:
The stronger conjugate base obtained from given set of acids with
Concept Introduction:
If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.
Stronger the acid weaker it’s conjugate base and vice versa.
The degree to which a weak acid ionizes depends on the concentration of the acid and the equilibrium constant for the ionization.

- Draw the dipeptide that forms between alanine and glycine. Identify the net charge of this dipeptide at a pH = 0.5, 7.4, and 12.0.arrow_forwardA pentapeptide on complete hydrolysis yields 3 moles of glycine (R=H), 1 mole of alanine (R=CH3) and 1 mole of serine (R=CH2OH). On partial hydrolysis, the fragments are ala-gly, gly-ala and gly-ser. The pentapeptide is negative to the Sanger reaction. Draw a possible structure for the pentapeptide.arrow_forwardA sample (660 mg) of a (homo)oligomeric protein of molecular weight of 132,000 Da was treated with an excess of 2,4-dinitro-fluorobenzene until the reaction was complete. The peptide bonds were then completely hydrolyzed by heating with 6 M hydrochloric acid. The hydrolysate was found to contain 5.5 mg of the following compound. NO2 O2N- NH НООС 2,4-Dinitrophenyl derivatives of the amino groups of other amino acids were not found. a). How many polypeptide chains are there in this protein? Show your work. b). Assuming that each of the subunit contains entirely a-helices, how many a-helical turns would there be, approximately, in each of the subunit? "For a protein of typical composition, average amino acid residue mass is ca. 110 Da."arrow_forward

- Glucose-1-phosphate has a ΔG°′ value of −20.9 kJ/mol, whereas that for glucose-6-phosphate is −12.5 kJ/mol. After reviewing the molecular structures of these compounds, explain why there is such a difference in these values.arrow_forwardBased on the following titration table of Glycine, would you be able to recreate the same for Histidine?

(m=5 is a pentose, such as xylose & m=6 is a hexose such as glucose.) Starch is a polysaccharide of thousands of glucose monomers, linked by an oxygen (-0-) bridge. The general molecular formula for starch is usually taken as (C6H1005) when n is the degree of polymerization. When formed from glucose a water molecule is released for every step in the polymerization process; when hydrolyzed (de-polymerized) a water molecule is necessary. The de-polymerization reaction can be considered as: (C6H1005)n + α H₂O → B (C6H1206) Balance the stoichiometry, i.e., find expressions for a & ß (that may involve the degree of polymerization, n). If we start with 1 kg of starch & totally hydrolyze it to glucose then how much glucose do we get [in kg & kg.mole]? Do the calculations assuming that n=1,000. The fermentation of glucose to ethanol can be expressed in the figure on the right¹. How much ethanol can be…arrow_forward
- Trans-oleic acid (18:1,D9) has a melting temperature of (44.5C) and cis-oleic acid (18:1,D9) has a melting point of (13.4C). Briefly explain the difference in melting points between the two.arrow_forwardThe structure of chitosan, a polymer used to eliminate protein clumps that create wine haze in white wine, is shown below. The amine functional group on chitosan has a pka of 6.5 in its conjugate acid form. What is the charge state of the amine group of chitosan in wine with a pH of 3.6, given the following acid-base reaction, where chitosan is abbreviated as R?
