Question

Your beloved fish Fishy lives in a not saltwater tank. He like his water at a nice pH of 7 (who doesn't?) This means his water should contain an appropriate amount of sodium chloride. In order to ensure the tank does not contain too much chloride (CI), you add a peptide to bind up some of the chlorine. You have two choices: Peptide 1: HEDTCSELYD Peptide 2: MKRTCKSR a. Which peptide would be better to use and why? positive charges. This makes them very reactive and hence somewhat dangerous to your fishtank. Deprotonated alcohols are usually thought of as strong nucleophiles, however sulfur groups behave similarly to oxygen groups. Are you concerned about the peptide you're using performing unwanted nucleophilic reactions in your tank? Why or why not?

Explanation / Answer

b) Are you concerned about the peptide you're using performing unwanted nucleophilic reactions in your tank? Why or why not?

Reason: Unwanted nucleophilic reaction results in the variation of pH thereby causes a problem to fish in your tank.
