Adenine and guanine are members of a class of molecules known as purines: they have two rings in their structure. Thymine and cytosine, on the other hand, are pyrimidines, and have only one ring in their structure. Predict which have larger dispersion forces in aqueous solution, the purines or the pyrimidines.
The protein ribonuclease \(A\) in its native, or most stable, form is folded into a compact globular shape: Native ribonuclease A (a) Does the native form have a lower or higher free energy than the denatured form, in which the protein is an extended chain? (b) What is the sign of the system's entropy change in going from the denatured to the folded form? (c) In the native form, the molecule has four \(-5-5\) - bonds that bridge parts of the chain. What effect do you predict these four linkages to have on the free energy and entropy of the native form relative to the free energy and entropy of a hypothetical folded structure that does not have any - \(\mathrm{S}-\mathrm{S}\) linkages? Explain. (d) A gentle reducing agent converts the four - \(S-S\) - linkages in ribonuclease A to eight - \(\mathrm{S}-\mathrm{H}\) bonds. What effect do you predict this conversion to have on the tertiary structure and entropy of the protein? (e) Which amino acid must be present for - SH bonds to exist in ribonuclease A?
The molar heat of combustion of gaseous cyclopropane is \(-2089 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\); that for gaseous cyclopentane is \(-3317 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\). Calculate the heat of combustion per \(\mathrm{CH}_{2}\) group in the two cases, and account for the difference.
Acetic anhydride is formed from two acetic acid molecules, in a condensation reaction that involves the removal of a molecule of water. Write the chemical equation for this process, and show the structure of acetic anhydride.
Locate the chiral carbon atoms, if any, in each molecule:
(a) \(\mathrm{HOCH}_{2} \mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{CCH}_{2} \mathrm{OH}\)
