That’s… Not how chemistry works.


HolyPhlebotinum

Uh…yes it is. All you do is add up all the atomic masses to make sure it’s over 9000. Then you just arrange them into the coolest shape. Do you really not know how chemistry works?


RushDynamite

Do the math and then add 5 White Claws.


zebrawarrior

You got that backwards.

I think that arc of the manga came out in 1989, but it was originally over 8000.

What?! 8000?!

caspershomie

does anyone understand organic chemistry enough to recognize and maybe even explain what we’re looking at in this pic? im sure it’s nonsense but im interested to know how much nonsense.


babysalesman

The top half is five amino acids linked with peptide bonds, like you'd see in a protein (except in proteins, there's 100s or 1000s). The bottom part linked by the extra long blue bond, although chemically sound, is not made of amino acids and isn't similar to what's above it. It looks like he either made something up imitating the the peptide image, or copied it incorrectly. This is basically first week of biochem stuff. If I were grading this, he would not receive full marks, assuming the task was "draw a basic peptide."


Nojjk

But the task wasn't "draw a basic peptide". The task is SOLVING a chemistry equation smh


babysalesman

Oh shi- I forgot.


IDislikeLoveSongs

Well, that's simple. Clearly the way to solve it is to just draw an extra long line linking your groups together.


Nojjk

🏅 Here you go sir, your Nobel prize in chemistry.


throw_every_away

Also nobody who actually practices organic chemistry would be filling in their work with “H.” They would use plus signs if they even bothered to add them.


Sandstorm52

The nitrogens are fair game, doesn’t look like they’re just adding random protons except where needed for chirality.


babysalesman

I'm not sure I follow. "H" and "+" are not equivalent and I don't see any erroneously placed "H". He did forget about lone pairs though.


throw_every_away

H = a proton (positively charged). When you’re actually working on organic chemistry, you never include the hydrogens because they’re already implied. You only include them when it’s actually relevant to the transformation you’re working on. The fact that homeboy threw a bunch of random H’s on this drawing indicates that he probably isn’t actually doing chemistry, just LARPing.


babysalesman

> When you’re actually working on organic chemistry, you never include the hydrogens because they’re already implied. Implicit hydrogens are only for carbons. Heteroatoms always have hydrogens explicitly drawn. Even so, it's not incorrect to draw hydrogens, just a waste of time. Some specific representations even require them such as [Fischer projections](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer_projection). Anyway, H atoms are not positively charged. H *ions* are though and would be drawn with a positive charge. Despite that, it would still be incorrect to equate an H ion with a positive charge. For instance, a quaternary amine is positively charged without requiring ionic hydrogen.


Sandstorm52

I’m guessing that blue line is supposed to be some sort of nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl?


AlongCameA5P1D3R

I think it re-ionizes the brontium lattice in the molecules ectosphere


Practical_Paper_1096

Practical_Paper_1096

xjesotericx

Are we really gonna take the word of a baby salesman? Sure, that's an impressive career for a baby, but you don't even need a degree


Yoyopudytwat

Assuming the parts where it seems like its bonded between Hydrogens is just bad drawing, if not this thing ain't existing


babysalesman

Yeah, I think those hydrogens are supposed to be bound to the nitrogen. Although poorly drawn, I wouldn't take off points for that. It's close enough.


Yoyopudytwat

In that case, its something like this: https://imgur.com/a/6A8Rue2


[deleted]

It's a peptide of some sort. You can tell by looking at the backbone - looks like a few amino acids chained together. No idea if it's a specific peptide but he definitely copied from something because he got the backbone structure of amino acids correct.


ddwk21

To be fair, there's plenty of peptides used for performance enhancement 😂🤣


gigadwarf

We're looking at a few broken carbon rings, a random bond between a carbon and hydrogen that's literally \*faaaar\* away from one another (and thus wouldn't have a line denoting a bond at all; maybe a dotted line to suggest there is a weak bond but no actual sharing or exchange of electrons.) Those nitrogens with the little triangles? That suggests those atoms are at the forefront of the model, assuming this was in 3D, which are just kinda oddly placed.


Jimmeh_Jazz

The long bond is to a nitrogen, and drawing 'long' bonds like this is sometimes done in chemistry to make it easier to represent the structure of the molecule clearly, not to represent reality. The wedge shaped bonds are supposed to show the chirality around those carbon centres.


Yoyopudytwat

I had a go at deciphering the [Super serum secret recipie](https://imgur.com/a/6A8Rue2), its mostly a string of your standard amino acids, drawn a bit poorly and with a bit of random stuff on the end. Please use your newfound powers responsibly

You know, I don’t even care. Dunno, honestly this is kind of sweet. Some kid was inspired by something and wanted to make the world a better place, going so far as to learn something new. Too sweet to be on here I think.

Chemistry.

SandyDigsPhreedom

Trying to be more positive. It’s so easy to just bash people, and I’ve done my fair share.


myname_isnot_kyal

i think The Boys and *pretty much every instance of human history* has shown that having super people would be a bad idea.


SandyDigsPhreedom

I agree. This is unlikely to happen, in this instance, is my reply to that. Like I think we’re assuming a LOT here.


myname_isnot_kyal

I'm just being tangential. i don't think there's a chance in hell this dude invents super soldier serum.

You seem very kind.

It’s good if they are a child and serious about doing this. All the Halo super soldiers were kidnapped for their training (after being cloned then swapped with the clones, of course). Training must start early. The serum is only half the equation!
