The molecular structures of two ‘penicillin-like’ compounds, A and B. in the compound A the C-C-N ring is intentionally bold, as is the C-C-C-C-N ring in compound B.
By comparing these structures assess which of A and B, might be (i) more active than penicillin against bacteria and (ii) less active than penicillin against bacteria.
i have to Explain how i arrived at the decisions by firstly reviewing how and why penicillin acts against bacteria and then explaining why compounds A and B might be more or less active. (No more then 300 word).
Science help needed here.
And I have already answered this...
This is my first time go to see at here and i am genuinely impressed to read everthing at single place.

I take pleasure in, cause I found exactly what I used to be having a look for.
You have ended my four day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a great day.
Bye
comitia; Meridith,
Thanks for any other informative blog. Where else could I
am getting that kind of information written in such a perfect method?
I've a undertaking that I am just now working on, and I have been at the look out for such information.
angiosymphysis, Darrel,
Magnificent items from you, man. I have understand your stuff previous to and you're simply extremely magnificent.
I actually like what you have bought here, certainly like what you are stating and the way in which in which you are saying
it. You are making it entertaining and you still take care of to keep
it smart. I can't wait to learn much more from
you. That is really a terrific site.

To assess which of compounds A and B might be more or less active than penicillin against bacteria, we need to review how and why penicillin acts against bacteria and then analyze the molecular structures of compounds A and B in comparison.
Penicillin is an antibiotic that works by targeting the bacterial cell wall. Bacterial cell walls are composed of peptidoglycan, a polymer made up of repeating units of N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) cross-linked by peptide bridges. Penicillin inhibits the enzyme responsible for cross-linking the peptide bridges, known as transpeptidase or penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). This inhibition weakens the cell wall, causing the bacteria to burst and die.
Now let's analyze the structures of compounds A and B in comparison to penicillin:
In compound A, the C-C-N ring is intentionally bold. By looking at this structure, we can observe that A has a ring structure similar to penicillin and an additional nitrogen atom. This additional nitrogen may increase the overall positive charge of the molecule, making it potentially more active against bacteria. The presence of this nitrogen atom could enhance the interaction between compound A and the bacterial cell wall, leading to increased inhibition of transpeptidase or PBPs.
In compound B, the C-C-C-C-N ring is intentionally bold. The presence of this elongated ring structure might hinder the molecule's ability to interact with the bacterial cell wall and inhibit the transpeptidase or PBPs effectively. It deviates significantly from the structure of penicillin, raising the possibility that compound B could be less active against bacteria compared to penicillin.
In conclusion, based on the comparison of the molecular structures of compounds A and B with penicillin and our understanding of how penicillin acts against bacteria, it is reasonable to speculate the following:
(i) Compound A might be more active than penicillin against bacteria due to the presence of an additional nitrogen atom, potentially enhancing its interaction with the bacterial cell wall.
(ii) Compound B might be less active than penicillin against bacteria due to its significantly different structure and potential hindrance in effectively inhibiting the transpeptidase or PBPs.
Remember, this is a speculative analysis based on structural comparison and knowledge of penicillin's mechanism of action. Further experimental validation is necessary to determine the actual activity of compounds A and B against bacteria.
