Biochemistry
This macromolecule is composed of amino acids linked by peptide bonds and folds into specific 3D structures to carry out cellular functions
What is a protein?
The inclusion of this reagent leads to anti-Markovnikov addition of HBr to an alkene
What is ROOR (peroxide)?
This block, denoted by a letter, is home to the actinides and lanthanides
what is the f-block?
This distillation method is most appropriate for separating two liquids that have large differences in boiling point.
What is simple distillation?
The molecular orbital corresponding to a quantum number of (l=0)
what is a s-orbital?
Increases the rate of a biochemical reaction without being consumed by lowering activation energy
What is an enzyme?
This rule predicts the major alkene formed in an elimination reaction based on alkene stability
What is Zaitzev’s Rule?
This element is represented by the symbol Sb
what is Antimony?
Gas-liquid chromatography primarily separates compounds based on this physical property.
What are boiling points?
States that electrons must fill empty, degenerate orbitals, with parallel spins, before pairing up
what is Hund’s rule?
This molecule acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain during aerobic respiration.
What is oxygen?
This reaction mechanism involves a concerted backside attack and results in inversion of configuration
What is SN2?
These types of molecular orbitals are the result of destructive interference (out-of-phase)
what are anti-bonding orbitals?
In gel electrophoresis, a negatively charged particle migrates toward this electrode.
What is the anode?
For a spontaneous process at constant temperature and pressure, this quantity must be negative.
What is Gibbs Free Energy?
This post-translational modification involves the addition of a phosphate group and is commonly used to regulate enzyme activity
What is phosphorylation?
What is the aromaticity rule that requires a cyclic, planar system with 4n+2 pi electrons
What is Hückels Rule?
This term refers to when the ligand binded to a metal ion is bonded at 2 or more sites (forming little rings!)
what is Chelation?
This intermolecular force occurs in ethanol because hydrogen is directly bonded to oxygen, allowing strong attraction between neighboring molecules.
What is hydrogen bonding?
States that in Quantum Mechanics, the position and momentum cannot be determined exactly at the same time
What is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle?
This cellular process converts genetic information from mRNA into a polypeptide chain at the ribosome
What is translation?
This reagent selectively oxidizes primary alcohols to aldehydes without over-oxidation
What is PCC?
This is the number of signals observed from chlorobenzene from proton NMR
what is 3?
This kinetic barrier prevents a thermodynamically favorable reaction from occurring because reactants cannot overcome the energy required to reach the transition state.
What is a large activation energy?
This approximation assumes nuclei are fixed while solving the electronic Schrödinger equation.
What is the Born-Oppenheimer approximation?
