Get started for freeIf one hydrogen in a hydrocarbon is replaced by a halogen atom, the number of isomers that exist for the substituted compound depends on the number of types of hydrogen in the original hydrocarbon. Thus there is only one form of chloroethane (all hydrogens in ethane are equivalent), but there are two isomers of propane that arise from the substitution of a methyl hydrogen or a methylene hydrogen. How many isomers can be obtained when one hydrogen in each of the compounds named below is replaced by a chlorine atom? a. \(n\) -pentane c. 2,4 -dimethylpentane b. 2 -methylbutane d. methylcyclobutane
Aspartame, the artificial sweetener marketed under the name Nutra-Sweet, is a methyl ester of a dipeptide: a. What two amino acids are used to prepare aspartame? b. There is concern that methanol may be produced by the decomposition of aspartame. From what portion of the molecule can methanol be produced? Write an equation for this reaction.
Polystyrene can be made more rigid by copolymerizing styrene with divinylbenzene: How does the divinylbenzene make the copolymer more rigid?
Draw the structures for two examples of unsaturated hydrocarbons. What structural feature makes a hydrocarbon unsaturated?
The base sequences in mRNA that code for certain amino acids are Glu: \(\quad\) GAA, GAG Val: GUU, GUC, GUA, GUG Met: \(\quad\) AUG Trp: \(\quad\) UGG Phe: UUU, UUC Asp: \(\quad\) GAU, GAC These sequences are complementary to the sequences in DNA. a. Give the corresponding sequences in DNA for the amino acids listed above. b. Give a DNA sequence that would code for the peptide trp-glu-phe-met. c. How many different DNA sequences can code for the tetrapeptide in part \(\mathrm{b}\) ? d. What is the peptide that is produced from the DNA sequence \(\mathrm{T}-\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{T}-\mathrm{G}-\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{G} ?\) e. What other DNA sequences would yield the same tripeptide as in part \(\mathrm{d}\) ?
