A difference energy diagram constructed for nondisruptive deletion mutations in wild-type enzyme shows at a glance the role of the target side chains in the wild type. This is seen most clearly in the difference energy diagrams plotted in Figure 15.4 for the mutation of Thr-40 to Ala or Gly and for the mutation of His-45... 

The results of the difference energy diagrams are summarized in Table 15.1. It is obvious that a host of different side chains are involved in catalysis, that cataly-...

Figure 15.4 Difference energy diagrams (energy of mutant minus energy of wild type) for mutation at residues Thr-40 and His-45. The states are E-T, the E-Tyr complex E-T-A, E-Tyr-ATP E-JT-A], the transition state for formation of Tyr-AMP E-T-A-PP, E-Tyr-AMP-PPj and E-T-A, E-Tyr-AMP...

Z7. The cotr arison of activation parameters for reactions in two different solvents requires consideration of differences in solvation of both the reactants and the transition states. This can be done using a potential energy diagram such as that illustrated below, where A and B refer to two different solvents. By thermodynamic methods, it is possible to establish values which correspond to the enthalpy... 

For each reaction, plot energy (vertical axis) vs. the number of the structure in the overall sequence (horizontal axis). Do reactions that share the same mechanistic label also share similar reaction energy diagrams How many barriers separate the reactants and products in an Sn2 reaction In an SnI reaction Based on your observations, draw a step-by-step mechanism for each reaction using curved arrows () to show electron movements. The drawing for each step should show the reactants and products for that step and curved arrows needed for that step only. Do not draw transition states, and do not combine arrows for different steps. 

The different phase behaviors are evidenced in the corresponding free energy diagrams, which have been estimated for both polymers [15]. These diagrams are shown in Fig. 10 (due to the different approximations used in the calculation of the free energy differences, these diagrams are only semiquantitative [15]). It can be seen that the monotropic transition of the crystal in... 

Figure 5.4 An energy diagram for the first step in the reaction of ethylene with HBr. The energy difference between reactants and transition state, AG, defines the reaction rate. The energy difference between reactants and carbocation product, AG°, defines the position of the equilibrium.

Not all energy diagrams are like that shown for the reaction of ethylene and HBr. Each reaction has its own energy profile. Some reactions are fast (small AG ) and some are slow (large AG ) some have a negative AG", and some have a positive AG°. Figure 5.6 illustrates some different possibilities. 

In Fig. 1 there is indicated the division of the nine outer orbitals into these two classes. It is assumed that electrons occupying orbitals of the first class (weak interatomic interactions) in an atom tend to remain unpaired (Hund s rule of maximum multiplicity), and that electrons occupying orbitals of the second class pair with similar electrons of adjacent atoms. Let us call these orbitals atomic orbitals and bond orbitals, respectively. In copper all of the atomic orbitals are occupied by pairs. In nickel, with ou = 0.61, there are 0.61 unpaired electrons in atomic orbitals, and in cobalt 1.71. (The deviation from unity of the difference between the values for cobalt and nickel may be the result of experimental error in the cobalt value, which is uncertain because of the magnetic hardness of this element.) This indicates that the energy diagram of Fig. 1 does not change very much from metal to metal. Substantiation of this is provided by the values of cra for copper-nickel alloys,12 which decrease linearly with mole fraction of copper from mole fraction 0.6 of copper, and by the related values for zinc-nickel and other alloys.13 The value a a = 2.61 would accordingly be expected for iron, if there were 2.61 or more d orbitals in the atomic orbital class. We conclude from the observed value [Pg.347]

This section began with a class discussion about the importance of water softening and the different factors that influence water hardness. As an example of everyday situation, the efficiency of dishwasher Finish salt was presented. A set of short chemical experiments entitled Testing the dishwasher Finish salt was carried out as a wet laboratory task in groups of students (macro). Later on teachers explained one of those chemical experiments by the use of an animation and also by its 2D presentation with models then students in groups tried to write 2D representations for other chemical experiments (submicro). Students also tried to write down word and symbolic equations and to select the appropriate energy diagrams (symbolic). The results of students work were discussed and corrected when necessary.

Figure 3.4. Pentane. The diagram shows the four minimum-energy conformations of pentane. The global minimum is on the far left. Reflection and rotation of some of these geometries worrld generate more structures, but nothing with a different energy. Pentane is a simple molecule. More complicated molecules have many more conformations. Bryostatin 2 and PM-toxin A have so many mirrimtrm-energy conformations that to list them all would be a major undertaking and would require a large library to store the result.

C20-0107. One of the most common approaches to the investigation of metaiioproteins is to repiace the naturaiiy occurring metai ion with a different one that has a property advantageous for chemicai studies. For exampie, zinc proteins are often studied by visibie spectroscopy after Co has been substituted for Zn . Expiain, using crystai fieid energy diagrams, why Co is a better metai than Zn for visibie spectroscopy.
