Dipeptide Synthesis Cartoon (toon_aa2.htm) Two amino acids join together to make a dipeptide. (cartoon) |
Dipeptide Synthesis (bw_2aa.htm) Two amino acid structures combine to make a dipeptide. (black & white molecular structures) |
Tripeptide Synthesis (vp_prot.htm;toon_3aa.swf) Drag amino acid structures to make a tripeptide. (text and molecular structures) |
|
Hexapeptide Synthesis Cartoon (toonprot.htm) Drag amino acid cartoons to make a hexapeptide. (cartoon) |
Ethylene Synthesis (vp_eth.htm; ethylene.swf) Beginning with an initiator, grab ethylene monomers to build a polyethylene segment. (text and molecular structures) |
Nylon Synthesis (toon_nyl.htm) This interactive cartoon shows a diamine and a diacid reacting to form nylon. Watch their hands - red acid + blue amine = purple amide bond - water (bloop!) |
|
Glucose Isomers (toon_glu.htm) α-D-Glucose interconverts to its open chain form and then to its β- form. (These are skeletal structures that show the atoms active in the interconversion.) |
Cellulose Synthesis (tooncell.htm) Cellulose is built by enzymes. The first enzyme combines two glucose molecules to form cellobiose. The second enzyme adds cellobiose to the growing cellulose chain. (cartoon) |
Carbon's Orbitals (toon_orb.htm) On an x-y-z axis, atomic orbitals fade in (1s, 2s, 2p), then hybridize to sp3 orbitals. |
(The *.swf file has the same prefix as the *htm file unless otherwise noted.)
