Refer to the bar graph below, Explain why e.g. the n→π* interactions contribute more to the overall stabilization of the protein than all the other interactions(C-H-O hydrogen bond,π-π interactions, C5 Hydrogen Bonds, Cation-π interactions, Sulfur-arene interactions, Anion-π interactions, Chalcogen bonds, X-H-π interactions) even though n→π* is the weaker interaction. Explain why they contribute more than EACH bond.

There are 20 common, naturally occurring amino acids from which all proteins are derived (as will be discussed in Chapter 25), although many other less common amino acids have been isolated from natural sources. Valine is one of the 20 common amino acids, and it was used as a starting material in the laboratory synthesis of an uncommon amino acid (Tetrahedron 1997, 53, 1151-1156). During one of the steps in the synthesis, compound 1 was treated with HBr under conditions that favor radical addition, giving stereoisomers 2 and 3. Draw the structures of 2 and 3, and describe their stereoisomeric relationship. H. LOCH3 HBr 2 + 3 hv H (S)-valine Modify the given copies of compound 1 to drawthe structures of 2 and 3. You can use the single bond tool to add/remove double bonds. CH2 CH2 H,C- H3C- -CH, -CH, Edit Drawing Describe the relationship of 2 and 3. O They are enantiomers. O They are superimposable. They are diastereomers. O They are constitutional isomers.
