    Fe-N Bond Energy in Heme Group of Haemoglobin

    I've been searching far and wide and simply cannot find any info on the BOND ENERGY of a Fe- N coordinate-covalent bond, like that found in the heme group of haemoglobin. it looks like this: ... N ... | N -- Fe2+ -- N ... | ... N The Fe2+ ion also...

    Discover the Properties of Haemoglobin: Boiling Point, Melting Point, and More

    hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone knew a site that would tell me the properties of haemoglobin such as its boiling point, melting point, etc.. I can't seem to find any. I am doing a project on the "heme group" and I need to find properties such as weight, bp, ml, etc for heme group...

    Nitrogen Valences in Heme Molecule: Explained

    Just to add, the purpose of this question is to understand the shape of the heme group molecule using bonding theory...I have to write about all th ebond angles and such...whew...so I guess I need to understand any resonant structures and lone pairs, etc...

    Nitrogen Valences in Heme Molecule: Explained

    Hey everyone I am confused as to the structure of a heme molecule. A picture of it is shown here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Heme.png I understand the heme group is largely a porphyrin molecule. The 4 Nitrogens are coordinate-covalently bound to the central Iron atom. The...

    Ballistic Pendulum Lab: Solving for Cart Speed

    Hi all We are doing a physics lab where we lift a pendulum to a certain height, let go of it, and the pendulum strikes a physics cart on a track. A lightgate then measures the velocity of the cart. We need to figure out the speed of the cart given the distance the pendulum is raised by...

    Intersecting Planes: Easiest Way to Make Up Equations

    Scott: This is pretty easy! The only thing u do is make sure both bormal vectors are not scalar multiples of each other... in other words if P1 = Ax+By+Cz+D and P2 = Wx + Xy +Yz +Z then to intesect in a line... [A,B,C] canot equal k[W,X,Y] k is any num Anton

    Solving Combination Lock with 2nd and 3rd Numbers Differing by at Least 3

    I'm sorry...I don't quite understand this phrasing...could you repeat it please. Ok I know the first number in the combination can be any of the numbers 0-59. Then the second number in the combination can also be any of the 60 digits. However, the 3rd number needs to differ by at laest 3...

    Solving Combination Lock with 2nd and 3rd Numbers Differing by at Least 3

    Hey everyone I have this for Discrete homework: A lock has the numbers from 0 to 59 ...A combo is made up of 3 numbers...How many combos are possible if the 2nd and 3rd numbers have to differ by at least 3 The answer is whatever 60 times 58 times 57 is I know why the 60 is...

    Motor & Battery: How Long Can I Expect It to Last?

    Hey everyone, I built a motor for my physics exam...and it works extremely well...it spins extremely fast and there are sparks galore on the commutator. I have it attached to a 6V lantern battery (the ones a bit bigger than your fist). How long can I expect the battery to keep...

    Explaining (0,0) Intersect on V vs. I Graph

    When plotting potential difference VS current (volts VS amps)...how does one explain the intercept at (0,0) ? Is it because without potential difference you can't have current and vice versa? Is that true all the time? Thanks

    How Should Error Bars Be Placed in an Ohm's Law Lab Graph?

    Hey everyone. I am doing an Ohm's law lab where there is a variable source, a fixed resistor, a voltmeter across the resistor, and an ammeter in series with the resistor. The fixed resistor is an unknown value but has a tolerance of 5% You need to figure out its value by plotting...
