    I love you so much. You are so unbelievably helpful. Not only do you explain things super well, and make everything really clear, but you also maintain an animated voice which makes all the difference. The inflections and "enthusiasm" in your speech (whether feigned or genuine) really helps to pay attention and pick up the information. You are a godsend.

    @TheACLP Před rokem

    for the S-Aspartate question at 21:15 if we used the guess and check method, even if we place the +NH3 on the right side for D configuration it would still be an S, so no matter the L or D conformation it will both be S, so how can you use this method if you're trying to compare the S configuration of the line and wedge to both the L and D conformation if both are S?

    • @Leah4sciMCAT
      @Leah4sciMCAT  Před rokem

      I'm confused by your question. If we swapped the NH3 group with the Hydrogen and had the NH3 on the right side of the Fischer, we would have an R configuration to the stereocenter. Making a swap like this changes the configuration of the chiral center.

    Can somebody explain why she does the second swap (during 10:32) ? I know she said to "maintain the chirality," but can somebody explain that please! Thank you:)

    • @Leah4sciMCAT
      @Leah4sciMCAT  Před rokem

      At this point in the video, we are trying to transform the Fischer projection of R-alanine into proper form where all carbons would be along the vertical backbone of the molecule. That means we need to swap our carboxyl group to the top-most position, so that it falls along the vertical.
      When we make that swap, we also need to swap two other groups in order to maintain an R configuration at the chiral center. If we didn't make a second swap, we would then have the S configuration of alanine. Which is a different stereoisomer of our original molecule.

  • @hitensingh6629

    I came looking for non coded Amino Acids. But I don’t think this is about that. But u could help me. So the line is - amino acids having D-Configuration or which aren’t alpha amino acids are Non coded. What does this D configuration mean ?

    • @Leah4sciMCAT
      @Leah4sciMCAT  Před 3 lety +1

      To be non-coded simply means that the amino acid was not coded for by the DNA sequence. It must have been synthesized by some other process, outside of the body. All of the amino acids derived from natural (human-made) proteins are of the L configuration. D-amino acids are found in nature.

      This is a tricky question, Tertiary amines are technically chiral due to their shape, but the 4th group is a lone pair which is constantly inverting and so you won't ever have just R or S. Quaternary amines on the other hand can have 4 unique subs for a proper chiral center

    Why did you skip the two hydrogens of the CH2-SH group? Wouldn't the Carboxyl group have higher priority due to the amount of bonds to oxygen?

    • @Leah4sciMCAT
      @Leah4sciMCAT  Před rokem +1

      Both Sulfur and Oxygen are directly bonded to a carbon on the chiral center. If Sulfur outranks Oxygen with its atomic number, the number of bonds to Oxygen are irrelevant. Sulfur is the winner and would be higher priority.

    I'm wondering how you know if the H group is forward or not in the simple diagram rather than with the wedges and dashes?

      I believe you're asking how to tell the configuration when presented with a Fischer projection. For more on these drawings, visit Leah4sci.com/Fischer
