Document Summary

If oh is on the left => l-sugar, (rotation to the left) l or - . If _oh is on the right => d-sugar, (rotation to the right) d or + . **gfp-like proteins identified in non-bioluminescent organism (i. e. corals) ** mutants with faster and brighter fluorescence have since been identified applications: In vivo imaging (e. g. spatial-temporal imaging of bacterial infection) Physical and chemical properties influence every biochemical interaction. _affects folding (structure) of biomolecules (determine the final configurations) physical properties: a polar molecule, permanent dipole (en of oxygen) **1 h2o molecule can form 4 h bonds (donate 2 h bonds and accept 2 h bonds) Partially +ve on h and free lone pair on en atoms. Orientation of water molecules around a nonpolar solute. Hydrophobic molecules break h bonds between h2o molecules, which is thermodynamically unfavorable because the overall enthalpy is negligible whereas the overall entropy decreases. _minimize surface area and #h2o molecules between them to increase the overall entropy.
