(a)
Interpretation:
The Fischer projection of the stereoisomer of Threonine which has two chiral centers with the configuration 2S,3R has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
The two dimensional representation of the molecules is known as Fischer projection. In Fischer projection, the atoms present on the horizontal plane are facing towards the front and the atoms present on the vertical plane are away from the plane.
When the atom is bonded to four different groups, based on the order of priority of the groups present, if it gets clock wise rotation then it is said to be in R-configuration, if the order of priority of the
(b)
Interpretation:
The three dimensional representation of the stereoisomer of Threonine which has two chiral centers with the configuration 2S,3R has to be drawn.

- 22-59 What is the effect of salt bridges on the tertiary structure of proteins?arrow_forwardThe amino acid threonine has two chiral centers. The stereoisomer found in proteins has the configuration 2S,3R about the two chiral centers. Draw (a) a Fischer projection of this stereoisomer and (b) a three-dimensional representationarrow_forwardThe number of chiral centers in progesterone (shown below) is C-CH3arrow_forward

(a) (b) (c) (d) HO N° H F H CI HO>Carrow_forwardThe quantitative differences in biological activity between the two enantiomers of a compound are sometimes quite large. For example, the D isomer of the drug isoproterenol, used to treat mild asthma, is 50 to 80times more effective as a bronchodilator than the L isomer. Identify the chiral center in isoproterenol. Why do the two enantiomers have such radically different bioactivity?arrow_forwardIdentify all chiral centres.arrow_forwardA well known non steroidal anti inflammation drug NSAID exists in two sterochemical forms. Only one is biologically active. Below is the structure of the biological active form. Identify the chiral center and determine if it is the R- or S- stereoisomer.arrow_forwardHow many chiral centers are there?arrow_forwardarrow_back_iosarrow_forward_ios
