- Why is the pK of the carboxyl group of glycine (pK = 2.3) less than that for acetic acid (pK = 4.76)?arrow_forward27. Which of the following statements about cholesterol is not correct? CH3 CH3 H. d но Cholesterol (a) Cholesterol is a steroid that contains a tetracyclic ring system. (b) Cholesterol is a steroid that contains 8 chiral carbons and can form 28 or 256 stereoisomers. (c) Each atom or group attached to a ring-junction carbon (i.e., carbons a -e) is in a trans or axial position. Because of this the tetracyclic ring system is mostly flat. (d) Cholesterol is used to synthesized vitamin D, bile acids, sex hormones, and adrenocorticoid hormones. (e) Cholesterol is not found in the cell membranes of animals.arrow_forwardglycine has pKa value of 2.3 and 9.6 would you expect pKa value of glyclglycine to be higher to lower than these values?arrow_forward

- A biochemist completely digests a glycerophospholipid with a mixture of phospholipases A and D. HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis reveals the presence of an amino acid of 105,09 Da, a saturated fatty acid of 256.43 Da, and an omega-3 monounsaturated fatty acid of 282.45 Da. Which amino acid does the glycerophospholipid contain? O valine (C,H, NO,) O alanine (C, H,NO,) O scrine (C,H,NO,) O proline (C,H,NO,) Modify the phosphoglycerol backbone to draw the most likely structure of the lipid.

- Researchers analysed a glycopeptide (a peptide carrying one or several oligosaccharide groups) and determined both the sequence of the peptide and the sequence of the sugar molecule. The latter was identified as a diholoside coupled to the peptide by an osidic bond. The systematic name of this sugar is: B-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-ß-D-galactopyranose. : Represent the chemical formula of this diholoside in a way that all oses are Question 1 represented according to the Haworth convention. Apart from the furane and/or pyrane cycles all atoms of this molecule must be given.arrow_forward(a) Draw the condensed structural formula, and give the name for the dipeptide Pro-Asn.
