Group Theory, pages

As noted on page 42 and alluded to on page 61, the study of group theory is very helpful. 

Group theory can be applied not only to small molecules but also to large ones. The structure shown at the bottom of this page is that of the protein Wza viewed from three angles, as given in the literature (/. Biol. Chem. 279 28227-28232, 2004). Identify its point group. 

The charge capacity effect is responsible for Ihe well known inductive effect of alkyl groups (see page 196). It is also important in hard and soft acid-base theory (see Chapter 9), and causes several other unexpected elfects.32 It is basically a polarization effect in which larger atoms and groups can acquire or donate large amounts of electron density without unfavorable energy chances.n... 

In the footnote on page 271 it was claimed that infrared spectroscopy could distinguish three different M(CO)3 geometries. Substantiate this claim by working out the predicted allowed bands for each geometry (it will be necessary to use group theory). Could a similar claim be made for Raman spectroscopy ...

The best way to combine all these parameters is to trace back the catalytic action of enzymes to intramolecularity. It is generally accepted that when van der Waals distances (contact distances) are imposed for definite times upon reactive groups, intramolecular reactions occur then at enzyme-like rates (accelerations of 10 to 10 0 are associated to enzyme-catalysed reactions). On the other hand, according to the Page-Jencks theory [17] the fast rates of intramolecular reaction "are merely an entropic consequence of converting a bimolecular reaction into a unimolecular reaction".
