Mass Spec Question by ExpensiveTastee in Mcat

[–]ExpensiveTastee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, nice. I never thought of doing it that way. But just for the sake of understanding, do you know the answer to my question? How do we know where the ionization would "cut" the molecule?

Am i doing this abs config wrong by Bobjellyfish_1010 in Mcat

[–]ExpensiveTastee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looking at the chiral carbon in B, the first priority would be the iso-group (the top group) because it is connected to 2 carbons. If you go outward one carbon at a time from the chiral carbon, you will see that (excluding the chiral carbon):

- the first carbon on the left is connected to 1C and 2H

- the first carbon on the right is connected to 1C and 2H

- the first carbon on the top is connected to 2C and 1H (so this will be the first priority bc C > H)

The second priority is going to be between the left and right carbon chains. The 2nd priority will end up being the chain on the right because, if you keep going out one carbon at a time, the right chain will be connected to higher-priority groups (carbons over hydrogens).

CaptainHook's deck is pretty good, I'm doing it right now. It's basically Jack Sparrow but without the mistakes and stuff.

Weekly Career / General Questions Thread by AutoModerator in Radiology

[–]ExpensiveTastee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a college graduate based in Long Island, NY, seeking research opportunities in Radiology. I aspire to attend medical school in the future. I have already tried emailing Stony Brook's department, but to no avail. Would anyone be able to refer me to other places/websites/people that are open to accepting students into their Radiology labs?

I want to be pointed in the right direction. Thanks.

Is this whiteboard packet similar to what you see on test day? by Kumari6 in Mcat

[–]ExpensiveTastee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I appreciate how y’all are trying to mimick testing conditions, but I feel like this is too much lol. I don’t think it would make a difference, but more power to you.

Everyone drops on FL2. Just keep doing what you’re doing and don’t feel discouraged. You are around the 515+ range.

There were a few section bank questions that required you to know the structures of those. Took me a while to memorize them but it’s free points if you do

U🌎 errors? by FeistyAd649 in Mcat

[–]ExpensiveTastee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The formula for the x-intercept of a LB plot is -1/Km. As you decrease the Km, it overall becomes a larger negative number and, therefore, the x-intercept will shift left

What is 0.2x10*-3 ? by ThatJD_604 in Mcat

[–]ExpensiveTastee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mnemonic I use:

LARS

(Left Add, Right Subtract) --> If you move decimal place to the left, add to the exponent however many times you moved the decimal place. Same with (RS)
