- Identify the functional groups in the followingmolecules.arrow_forwardFor each of the following, name an amino acid in which the R group contains it: a hydroxyl group, a sulfur atom, a second chiral carbon atom, an amino group, an amide group, an acid group, an aromatic ring, and a branched side chain.arrow_forwardWhat are the structural differences between (a) purines and pyrimidines, and (b) ribose and deoxyribose sugars?arrow_forward
- Penicillin G is a natural antibiotic that is useful for treating infections caused by Gram positive bacteria. What is the functional benefit of the semi-synthetic antimicrobials carbenicillin and ampicillin, generated by chemical modification of the R group so their R groups each are a bit different than the R group seen with penicillin G?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding the nitrogenous base guanine is FALSE? A) ALL of these statements are TRUE B) the enol form of guanine base-pairs with thymine C) guanine undergoes a tautomeric shift between a keto and an enol form D) the keto form of guanine base-pairs with cytosine E) an alcohol (-OH) group is present in guanine's enol form, but absent in the keto form F) guanine’s keto form is more stable than its enol formarrow_forwardUronic acids are another class compound for carbohydrates. a) Describe the structural difference between glucose and glucouronic acid (in either the Fischer or Haworth form) b) Describe the saccharide units and glycosidic bonding found in hyaluronic acid.arrow_forward
