Denaturation of Protein by Strong AcidJohn W. Moore, Jerrold J. Jacobsen, Gary Trammell, Kristin Johnson "Strong acid denatures egg white proteins.This video contains voiceover:""The tertiary structure of egg white proteins is held together by hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions. Adding strong acid to the protein disrupts the intermolecular forces, and the tertiary structure is lost. The loss in protein structure is called denaturation. The proteins precipitate, forming a white solid."""
Acids_and_Bases : BufferingCapacity (20 Variations) If a buffer is prepared using 0.75 mol CH3COOH and 0.45 mol CH3COO- in 1 liter of aqueous solution, is the buffering capacity of the solution great enough to maintain its pH if 10 g NaOH is added?
Synthesis of Triarylmethane and Xanthene Dyes Using Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution ReactionsJames V. McCullagh and Kelly A. Daggett In this experiment, electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions are used to synthesize several triarylmethane and xanthene dyes (fluorescein, erythrosin B, thymolphthalein, and rhodamine B) using common equipment while avoiding often troublesome, hydroscopic Lewis acids. Subsequent UVvis analysis produce spectra that match commercially available dye samples. McCullagh, James V.; Daggett, Kelly A. J. Chem. Educ.2007, 84, 1799.

Application of ChemDraw NMR Tool: Correlation of Program-Generated 13C Chemical Shifts and pKa Values of para-Substituted Benzoic AcidsHongyi Wang An application of ChemDraw NMR Tool was demonstrated by correlation of program-generated 13C NMR chemical shifts and pKa values of para-substituted benzoic acids. Experimental 13C NMR chemical shifts were analyzed in the same way for comparison. The project can be used as an assignment at the end of the first-year organic chemistry course to review topics or explore new techniques: Hammett equation, acidbase equilibrium theory, electronic nature of functional groups, inductive and resonance effects, structurereactivity relationship, NMR spectroscopy, literature search, database search, and ChemDraw software. Wang, Hongyi. J. Chem. Educ.2005, 82, 1340.
