Cellular & Molecular Biology question. Please answer the table.

Shown below is the structure of Drug 1, that binds to the E. coli ribosome. Indicate whether each circled region could possibly form ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, or hydrophobic interactions with another molecule by filling out the table below. Fill in the table with yes" if that type of bond is possible, "no" if it is not. O H CH iv) H2 a) Could this part form Could this part form hydrogen bonds Could this part be involved in a hydrophobic interaction Part ionic bonds (iv)

Explanation / Answer

part ionic bonds hydrogen bonds hydrophobic interaction (i) yes ( it contains a negatively charged oxygen atom wihch can bond with positively charged atoms to form ionic bonds0 yes ( the negatively charged oxygen can hydrogen bond to a hydrogen atom) no ( it is a polar charged molecule and thus cannot form hybrophobic interactions which are formed by non polar molecules) (ii) No ( there is no charged atom either positive or negative which can form ionic bonds) yes (it contains electronegative oxygen and nitrogen atoms which are known to form hydrogen bonds) no ( its a polar molecule) (iii) no (its a non polar molecule) no (its a non polar molecule) yes ( its a non polar molecule which can form hydrophobic interactions) (iv) no (hydrophobic carbon chain cannot form ionic bonds) no  (hydrophobic carbon chain cannot form hydrogen bonds as they dont have an electronegative atom) yes (hydrophobic carbon chain can form hydrophobic interactions)
