CARBON CARBON EVERYWHERE!! Macromolecules

Importance of carbon Single Double bonds with Oxygen Single Double bonds with Nitrogen Single Double Triple bonds with Carbon

Importance of carbon

Geometry Compounds of carbon can exist as stereoisomers Stereoisomers - different molecules in which the order of bonding is the same, but the spatial relationship among the atoms is different - differing configuration Stereospecific - requires specific stereochemistry geometric isomers

Importance of geometry HIV genome (gray) is made of RNA, it has a complementary surface for an important protein molecule to bind (colored stick model)

Importance of carbon Chiral carbon Chiral carbon - asymmetric carbon with 4 different substituents

Molecules with chiral centers 19 of the 20 Amino acids in proteins have a chiral center

Importance of carbon Chiral carbon In living organisms, chiral molecules usually exist in only one chiral form Amino acids (protein building blocks) - only L isomers Glucose (carbohydrate building block) - only D isomer

Chemical reactivity Five MAJOR reaction types in biochemistry (1) Oxidation-Reduction Reactions OXIDATION = Loss of electrons REDUCTION = Gain of electrons A dehydrogenation reaction - when a reactant loses 2 electrons and 2 H + (enzyme = dehydrogenases) OXIDATION

Chemical reactivity (2)Cleavage and formation of C-C bonds Examples:

Chemical reactivity (2) Cleavage and formation of C-C bonds (or C-N bonds) Monomeric subunits are joined with the release of water Unfavorable reaction

Chemical reactivity (2)Cleavage and formation of C-C bonds Nucleophiles - rich in electrons Electrophiles - electron deficient

Chemical reactivity (2) Cleavage and formation of C-C bonds Nucleophilic substitution - electron-rich group replaces departing anion Substitution nucleophilic, unimolecular Substitution nucleophilic, bimolecular

Chemical reactivity (3) Internal rearrangements, isomerizations and eliminations Redistribution of electrons results in (i) isomerization (ii) transposition of double bonds (iii) cis-trans rearrangements of double bonds

Chemical reactivity (4) Group Transfers In metabolism - attachment of a good leaving group to a metabolic intermediate to “activate” it for subsequent reaction Good leaving group Example

Chemical reactivity (5) Free radical reactions Homolytic cleavage of covalent bonds to generate free radicals Repair of damaged DNA by DNA photolyase
