4) Paxlovid is treatment for COVID-19 that was recently approved for use because it can
drastically reduce the risk for hospitalization and death when taken early in the
infection. It is actually a package of two different antiviral drugs. One of those is
Nirmatrelvir, which is a modified tripeptide protein mimetic designed to covalently bind
to and inhibit the main protease (MPro) from the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This protease
recognizes and hydrolyzes peptide bonds at specific points in their sequence, and it is
essential for viral replication.
a. Below is one of the sequences that Mpro recognizes and cleaves. It cleaves the peptide bond between
the glutamine and the glycine. Draw out the structure of a peptide with this sequence, including the
appropriate stereochemistry for biological amino acids and assuming the peptide is at physiological
pH (pH = 7.4).

b. What would the net charge of the peptide be at physiological pH?.
c. At what pH would the peptide be net neutral?
A random-sequence polyribonucleotide produced by polynucleotide phosphorylase, with CDP and ADP in a 5:1 molar ratio stimulated the incorporation of proline, histidine, threonine, glutamine, asparagine, and lysine in a cell-free translation system in the following proportions: 100, 23.4, 20, 3.3, 3.3, and 1.0, respectively. What does this experiment reveal about the nucleotide composition of coding triplets for these six amino acids?
label the acetal and hemiketal moieties and peptride bonds. Indicate and name the bond that links the two saccharides in the disaccharide.
Sketch the reaction of hydrolysis of the peptide, clearly drawing the reactants and products.
Using one-letter codes, identify the dinucleotide sequence and state whether this is a DNA or RNA dinucleotide. Sketch the reaction of formation of the dinucleotide from its constituent nucleotides, clearly drawing reactants and products, and state which kind of reaction it is.
