Consider molecule A: What
happens to its structure in water if i)
each subunit could make two or more hydrogen bonds with water
compared to ii) subunits were unable to hydrogen bonds with
water. Assume
that the molecule is flexible!
Consider molecule B: What will the polypeptide
look like in water at neutral pH and how would increasing hydrogen
ion concentration alter its structure?
Consider molecule C: The molecule has positive
and negative charges along its length; how does this influence its structure
in water and what would happen if all the charges were positive.
