Why do you turn a C-terminal aminoacid's carboxyl group into an ester before reducing it to an alcohol? Why not just use LiAlH4

and do it in one step? This is to determine the C-terminal aminoacid in a peptide

Answer: To determine the C-terminal amino acid in a peptide

Explanation: To determine C-terminal residue, either of chemical reagent or the enzyme is used carboxypeptidase. The chemical reagent hydrazine forms aminoacyl hydrazides with every residue except the C terminus The C terminus is identified by chromatographic procedures.

Carboxypeptidase is an exopeptidase that specifically hydrolyzes the C-terminal peptide bond and releases the C-terminal amino acid. There two problems associated with its use: the continuous action of the enzyme and the substrate specificity of the enzyme. This continuous action may yield the second, third, and additional residues from some chains even before the terminal residues on every chain are quantitatively released. Therefore making it difficult to determine which residue is the C terminus.

Answer:

Esters are both inorganic and organic acids .... Regarding the second question, it is believed that it is carried out in this way in order to recognize the C-terminal amino acid in a peptide within a protein

Explanation:

The explanation of this question is according to what was interpreted in the question, since it is considered that it is poorly written ...

What happens in this chemical reaction is that it first becomes an ester (organic or inorganic acid) so that it is later recognized in the complex peptide structure.

How many atoms are in 1.75 mol CHCL3
vaieri [72.5K]

1 mol = 6.022 x 10²³ atoms

In order to find how many atoms, dimly multiply the amount of moles you have by 6.022 x 10²³ or Avogadro's number.

So you have 1.75 mol CHC1₃ x (6.022x10²³) = 1.05385 x 10²⁴ atoms of CHCl₃

But now you have to round because of the rules of significant figures so you get 1.05 x 10²⁴ atoms of CHCl₃

The mixing of which pair of reactants will result in a precipitation reaction? A. Ba(NO3)2(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) B. NH4Br(aq) + NH4I(
Semenov [28]

Answer:

A. Ba(NO₃)₂(aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq)

Explanation:

  • The reaction between aqueous Ba(NO₃)₂ and Na₂CO₃ is a precipitation reaction.
  • The complete equation for the reaction is;

Ba(NO₃)₂(aq) + Na₂CO₃(aq) → BaCO₃(s) + NaNO₃(aq)

  • Barium carbonate is the precipitate formed during the reaction.
  • All nitrates are soluble in water and all salts of sodium are soluble in water, therefore, Ba(NO₃)₂, Na₂CO3, and NaNO₃ are soluble in water.
  • Precipitation reaction involves reaction of soluble salts to form a precipitate as one of the product.

How has the study of fossil rocks evolved over time? (personal answer)
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

When an organism dies, it is usually destroyed by other forms of life and by weathering processes. On rare occasions some body parts—particularly hard ones such as shells, teeth, or bones—are preserved by being buried in mud or protected in some other way from predators and weather. Eventually, they may become petrified and preserved indefinitely with the rocks in which they are embedded. Methods such as radiometric dating—measuring the amounts of natural radioactive atoms that remain in certain minerals to determine the elapsed time since they were constituted—make it possible to estimate the time period when the rocks, and the fossils associated with them.
