    a) Draw pictures illustrating the bond-forming and bond-breaking events at each transition state.

    b) Identify the nucleophile and the electrophile in the first step.

    P6.3: Illustrated below are individual mechanistic steps in some important biochemical reactions that we will be studying later.  For each step, draw the transition state, and also the products or intermediate species that would form according to the electron-movement arrows given. Be sure to include all formal charges.
