Cystine is dimer of Cystein amino acid formed by oxidation reaction. Its main function is to provide mechanical strength to proteins and allow them to retain their 3-D structures and also serves as a substrate for the cystine-glutamate antiporter.
As shown in figure cystine has two amino groups (highlighted blue) and two carboxylic groups (highlighted green). In its original structure cystine is neutral in nature as it has equal number of basic (NH₂) and acidic (COOH) moieties along with two chiral centers (asymmetric carbons) highlighted with red spots.
When one -NH₂ group is replaced by -COOH group the cystine is converted into an acidic compound with three COOH groups and a NH₂ group. Also, one asymmetric carbon will convert into a symmetrical carbon with a loss of one chiral carbon.
In second step, when another NH₂ is replaced by COOH, the acidic strength of resulting compound will increase along with conversion of last chiral carbon into symmetric carbon.
Therefore, the final structure will be acidic in nature with zero chiral carbons as shown in figure attached below.
It is the second option! the square with more orange dots will have to move over so that there is an equal amount or equilibrium! another way to look at it is, if we just moved the one dot on the left side then that side would be empty and there would not be equilibrium
Answer:
nah
Explanation:
l though Most Salt are soluble in water (Properties of Ionic Compound) , Not all are soluble ,which means mixing a salt and water can produce either a Solution (homogeneous mixture) or a Suspension (heterogeneous mixture).
Answer:
no work was needed. Blinking does not require using energy sometimes we blink without thinking.
Explanation:
Answer:
boiling point elevation - colligative property
color - non-colligative property
freezing point depression - colligative property
vapor pressure lowering - colligative property
density - non-colligative property
Explanation:
A colligative property is a property that depends on the number of particles present in the system.
Freezing point depression, boiling point elevation and vapour pressure lowering are all colligative properties of solutions.
Colour and density do not depend on the number of particles present hence they are not colligative properties.
