You must install the Chime plug-in to view the molecular files. You may want to install and use ViewerLite to answer these questions.

a)  glu.pdb

b)  ser.pdb

Problem 1: The molecules to the left undergo a condensation reactions meaning they release water as a product. There are four main products when bulk amounts of each are reacted. Give the skeletal structure for each product.

Problem 2: Both molecules are reacted with NaOH. What is the most likely product for each. 

Problem 3:Both molecules are reacted with HCl. What is the most likely product for each.
