BioChem
What is peptide bond?
What is redox reaction?
The label given to the first carbon next to a carbonyl
What is alpha carbon?
The total amount of energy change in a chemical reaction does not depend on the route it takes, only the states of the reactants and products
What is Hess's Law?
Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, Rose made up of this KPop group.
What is BlackPink?
Two shapes of secondary protein structure
What is alpha helix & beta pleaded sheet?
Reaction typically involve the use of a metal catalyze and hydrogen gas to convert an alkene to an alkane
What is hydrogenation?
A carbon with four different substituents attached to it. (In other words, the carbon is tetravalent).
What is stereocenter (or chiral center)?
It lowers the activation energy of reaction by altering the structure of the intermediate and is not consume during the process.
What is (chemical) catalyst?
One of the "big three" record labels of KPop, the music agency of Twice, Itzy, Stray Kids, Somi (soloist), founded by Jin-Young Park.
What is JYP Entertainment (JYP)?
Simplest amino acid with a hydrogen as the side chain.
What is glycine?
Reactions involve the use of halogen gas, typically done under UV light or heat, consist of three stages: initiation, propagation, and termination.
What is halogenation?
The most stable chemical conformation of a six-membered single bonded carbon ring such cyclohexane
What is chair conformation?
Relating the potential energy difference between a trans vs cis-alkene
What is steric hindrance? (This is just one way to describe this concept)
The literal translated name of this Kpop group is “Bulletproof Boy Scouts?”
What is BTS?
5 carbon sugar is major component of RNA
What is ribose?
Reactions involve adding an hydroxyl group to the least substituted position on an alkene
What is hydroboration-oxidation?
The source of stabilization in benzene-ring like compound (the closed-shell configuration of having all filled molecular orbital & all empty antibonding orbital)
What is aromaticity?
A simplification of a polydimensional space that indicates the most energetically favorable pathway through a reaction
What is reaction coordinate?
The most recognize Kpop soloist. Created the unusual (infamous) diet trend of eating only one apple, two sweet potatoes, and a protein shake per day.
Who is IU?
Thomas Cech won the 1989 Nobel prize in chemistry for the discovery that these compounds can have catalytic properties
What is RNA?
Reactions involve the use of a lithium and copper reagent compound (R-CuLi) that is more prone to perform "conjugate addition" and Sn2 mechanism.
What is Gilman's (reagent) reaction?
The stabilizing interaction that results from the interaction of the electrons in a σ-bond (usually C-H or C-C) with an adjacent empty or partially filled p-orbital or a π-orbital
What is hyperconjugation?
The transition state of a reaction will resembles either the reactants or the products, to whichever it is closer in energy.
Exo RLS -> Similar Rate -> Closer to reactant
Endo RLS -> Different Rate -> Closer to product
What is Hammond's Postulate?
This Kpop group had one of the most successful debut in 2014 with the song "Mr. Ambiguous". Their agency is RBW Entertainment.
Also, this is the quiz master's favorite Kpop group.
What is Mamamoo?
