To predict: The way by which the physical properties of water will be different if the hydrogen bonds is stronger.
Introduction: Water is an inorganic compound that is used as a universal solvent. The H2O is the chemical formula of water. It is a tasteless and odorless liquid at room temperature. Water is a polar inorganic solvent, which is amphoteric in nature. It means that it can act as a base and an acid at the same time.

- Part I. Protein structure You have the toy model for a protein in the water (W) environment of the cell shown. a) How many residues (amino acids) does this toy protein have? b) How many hydrophobic (H), hydrophilic (P), and charged (C) residues are there? c) Sketch the molecule on your answer sheet and then show the positions of the favorable C-C (charge-charge) interactions on the figure.arrow_forwardExercise A: Amino Acid Functional Groups Figure 1 below shows one of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins. Recall that carbon can form four covalent bonds. Amino acids consist of a central carbon, called the a-carbon, that is bonded to four different chemical groups. H + CH2 OH Figure 1. Structure of an amino acid Answer the below questions in your own document. • On the amino acid shown in Figure 1, label the a-carbon. • The a-carbon of each of the 20 amino acids is bonded to one hydrogen atom, one amino group, one carboxyl group, and one R group (more on that below). You should recognize the amino and carboxyl groups from our discussion of functional groups in organic molecules. Circle and label* the amino group and the carboxyl group in Figure 1. *Note: our goal in this question, and in similar questions throughout this lab, is for you to be able to identify specific structures. You can do this circling/labeling in whatever way is easiest for you.
