You ask the individual if they are taking any non-prescription drugs. They tell you they recently started taking a coenzyme Q10 supplement based on a recommendation from a friend. The structure of coenzyme Q10 is shown below. Looking at the structure of the molecule, which one of the 4 major classes of macromolecules (carbohydrate, lipid, proteins or nucleotides) does it most closely resemble? Be sure to include specific chemical characteristics that support this decision.
The structure of pepsin is shown below. This level of protein structure is known as

Find an amino acid side chain that is isosteric with a valine side chain. (Hint: hydrogen atoms are small, so while they of course affect molecular geometry, what matters more is the molecular geometry of non-hydrogen atoms connected to other non-hydrogen atoms.) Draw both side chains and label the molecular geometry around each non-hydrogen atom.arrow_forward
