Amino Acids (A Level Chemistry Revision Notes)

Amino Acids

Amino acids are the building block of the protein and also serve as the nitrogenous backbone for the compounds like neurotransmitters and hormones. Chemically they are the organic compounds containing both amino (-NH2 ) and carboxylic (-COOH) groups. So, they … Read more

Phenol (A Level Chemistry Revision Notes)

Phenol Structure

Phenols are aromatic compounds with a hydroxyl group directly connected to an aromatic ring. They are hydroxy derivatives of benzene. The general formula of phenol is C6H6O. Phenol was discovered by Runge (1834) in coal-tar and he named it carbolic … Read more

Infrared Spectroscopy (A Level Chemistry Revision Notes)

Infrared Spectroscopy

Infrared spectroscopy is the measurement of the interaction of IR radiation with compounds. IR region involves the range between region 400-4000 cm-1. IR radiation causes the excitation of molecules from lower to higher vibrational levels. These vibrational levels are associated … Read more

Organic Synthesis (A Level Chemistry Revision Notes)

Organic synthesis

Organic synthesis involves a specific series of chemical reactions that transform starting elements into the desired product, known as the synthesis target (or target molecule). Synthesis is often the result of numerous distinct processes known as synthetic stages. History of organic synthesis … Read more

Hydropathy Plots: Definition, Figure, Importance

Hydropathy Plots

Hydropathy plot, a plot that is used for the determination of the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of protein’s amino acid. It is employed to describe or pinpoint a protein’s potential structure or domains. The plot’s y-axis represents the degree of hydrophilicity … Read more
