Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Four examples for beta-lactam antibiotics have to be drawn. The
Concept introduction:
Functional group: They are certain substitutes in the organic molecules which are determine the characteristic reactions taking place in it.
Ester: One
Amide: One
Alkene: Unsaturated hydrocarbons having atleast one double bond between two carbon atoms are known as alkenes.
Ether: Ether is a group of organic compound where two aryl or alkyl groups are connected by an oxygen atom. It is represented as
Amines are the derivatives of ammonia
Depending on the number of carbon side chain of the nitrogen, different types of amines can form.
Lactam: They are cyclic amides where the carbonyl carbon part of carboxylic acid group and nitrogen part of amine group of the same compound attached forming a ring. Beta-lactam is a membered ring with two carbon atoms.

For each modified amino acid, identify the standard amino acid from which it is derived. Enter the unabbreviated name of the standard amino acid. OH I *NH,CH,–C–CH,CH,—CH–COO H C *NH₂ standard amino acid: Identify the modification that yields the first amino acid depicted. addition of a hydroxyl group addition of an amino group modification of the existing amino group modification of the existing hydroxyl group elongation of the side chain by the addition of a -CH₂- grouparrow_forwardWhen D-gulose forms a ring structure, a) b) a ketone and a hydroxyl group react to form a hemiketal. the ring is unstable at neutral pH. the ring contains four stereogenic centers. an intramolecular reaction creates a glycosidic bond.arrow_forward
- Make a table consisting of the following classes of Amino Acids (A). Give the 3 letter abbreviation, one letter symbol. Classify if the AA is essential or non essential, polar or non-polar. Write A for essential and B for non essential, write P for for polar and N for non polar. Draw the AA in the ff. format: Encircle the -R (side chain)do not include met in aliphaticamino acids. it has a separate box inS containing amino acidsarrow_forwardAn octapeptide was hydrolyzed and the amino acids separated. Its amino acid composition was determined: Gly (1); Ala (2); Val (1); Lys (2); Met (1); Asp (1). After incubation with FDNB and hydrolysis, 2,4-dinitrophenylalanine was detected. NO, H N -C- COOH H O,N CH, Treatment with cyanogen bromide, which cleaves at M, resulted in two fragments: a pentapeptide containing two K residues and a tripeptide containing V, G, and A. The residues are not listed in any particular order. After treatment with trypsin, which cleaves at R and K, there were three fragments: two dipeptides and MGAV. What is the sequence of the octapeptide? Use the one-letter abbreviations for the amino acids, and do not use dashes. octapeptide sequence:arrow_forwardThe following structures were introduced as neuromuscular blocking agents. Structure B is derived from structure A. What was the main reason for incorporating additional ester groups? O To enhance hydrogen bonding interactions with the binding site. O To increase the polarity of the drug. O To decrease the stability of the drug O To alter the conformation of the molecule.arrow_forward
