Characteristics and Properties of Amino Acids Introduction: Each amino acid has at least one amine and one acid functional group as the name implies. The different properties result from variations in the structures of different R groups. The R group is often referred to as the amino acid side chain. Amino acids have special common names‚ however‚ a three letter abbreviation for the name is used most of the time. A second abbreviation ‚ single letter‚ is used in long protein structures.Consult

INTERCHAPTER S Synthetic Polymers The formation of nylon by a condensation polymerization reaction at the interface of water and hexane‚ two immiscible solvents. The lower water layer contains the compound hexanedioyl dichloride‚ Cl C(CH2)4C O O Cl hexanedioyl dichloride The reaction produces nylon and HCl(aq). The polymer forms at the interface between the two solutions and is drawn out as a continuous strand. University Science Books‚ ©2011. All rights reserved. www.uscibooks.com

Experiment 8: Synthesis of Adipic Acid Performed November 8th & 10th By Jennifer Seitz Organic Chemistry 344 Section 803 Fall 2011 Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize adipic acid from cyclohexanol via an oxidation reaction that was catalyzed by sulfuric acid. Purity of the product was assessed by measuring the melting point. Physical Properties/Structures: Name | Formula | Molecular Weight (g/mol) | Boiling Point (0C) | Melting Point(0C) | Density(g/mL)

Elisa Hofmeister Kokesh Hour 3 AP Chemistry 5-29-12 The Chemistry of Coffee Green Coffee- Before coffee is roasted‚ it is referred to as “green coffee”. The green coffee is primarily made up of caffeine‚ lipids‚ carbohydrates‚ proteins (amino acids)‚ and organic acids (although inorganic acids exist in coffee as well). These groups are quite stable in the green phase‚ and it is the carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ and acids that will undergo significant reactions during roasting to produce coffee

Formaldehyde as a model protein crosslinking reagent. Understanding protein-protein interactions is becoming a vital study for application in the development of new age pharmaceuticals and utilization in diagnostic models. The overall aim is to gain an insight into the function and role of individual proteins with specific interest on how they react in cells‚ (Toews et al. 2008). The biopharma industry in Ireland is becoming a booming success for the economy therefore a complete understanding of

Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is one of the most common oxides on the surface of earth. Like most oxides‚ it adopts a polymeric structure. Оксидите се хемиски соединенија што содржат најмалку еден атом на кислород и еден атом од друг хемиски елемент во својата формула. An oxide /ˈɒksaɪd/ is a chemical compound that contains at least one oxygenatom and one other element[1] in its chemical formula. Metal oxides typically contain an anion of oxygen in the oxidation state of −2. Most of the Earth’s crustconsists
