- Draw the peptide bond between alanine and threonine. Include all linked atoms. Indicate a free‐electron pair on the nitrogen atom. Using arrows indicate how this electron pair delocalizes. Copy this image but depict the peptide bond as a double bond and a single bond for the carbonyl group. Remember to include any charges. Using arrows again indicate how the charge/electrons on the oxygen delocalizes. Indicate the dual nature of the peptide bond (resonance) by linking the two images by a double arrow.arrow_forwardNow let us look at a real amino acid, alanine. Fill in the chart below for each ionizable group. You need only the relationship discussed in the pdf posted and the numbers posted below. The next 6 questions will ask for the numbers you calculated for each of the letters below. pH when Average charge of group Group Ka pKa [A]/[HA] = 1 when pH = pK alpha-COOH ~10-2 A C alpha-NH3* ~10-9 Вarrow_forwardPart C and Darrow_forward
- Researchers discover a new amino acid. Its R-group exclusively has hydrogen and carbon atoms. What behavior will this amino acid show? O Relative to the amino acids found in organisms, its interactions with water will be very high. It is hydrophilic. Relative to the amino acids found in organisms, its interactions with water will be intermediate. It is hydrophobic.arrow_forwardIdentify the part of a generic amino acid that reacts with base and the part that reacts with acid. Briefly explain your answer.Hint: Draw Lewis structures for ammonia (NH 3) and acetic acid (CH 3COOH).arrow_forwardHighlight each peptide bond in the molecule below. In addition, list the common names of the smaller molecules that would be released if all the peptide bonds were hydrolyzed. You can add more rows to the table if you need to. (Note: you do not need to list water.) If there are no peptide bonds in the molecule, just check the no peptide bonds box below the drawing area.
