a) The N atom on a protein has a partial charge of -0.36. It
interacts with a carbonyl C atom with a partial charge of + 0.45
through a Coulombic potential. If the two atoms are 2.8 nm apart,
what is the energy of interaction? Assume that the protein is in a
vacuum.
^
(please explain with physics & chemistry and give a details in
300 words)
b) In water, the interaction is reduced by a factor of 78.
Explain why.
4.tɛo = 1.11 ~ 10-10 J-1C2m 1. = The charge of 1 electron is 1.602x 10-19 C. U(;)= 9:9; 4πε,
