1 Introduction of Macromolecules
Biochemistry Introduction of Macromolecules Notes Courtesy of Keeley Lowery- Carroll High School

2 Biochemistry Biochemistry is the study of chemical reactions in living systems. Biomolecules are organic compounds, meaning they are based on carbon chemistry. Remember that carbon is unique in that it can form 4 covalent bonds; thus it is able to form long, complex chains of atoms.

3 Functional groups attached to the carbon skeleton determine the characteristics of the compound. Know these examples! Polar Acidic Basic

4 Organic Substances Organic substances, macromolecules, or biomolecules make up all living things. The four groups of substances are carbohydrates lipids proteins nucleic acids polymers

5 Organic Substances Polymers are formed from the linking together of many similar monomers. Monomers are joined through a process known as dehydration synthesis, the removal of water. monomer + monomer polymer + H2O

6 Dehydration synthesis
Hydrolysis

7 Organic Substances Hydrolysis is the breaking of the bonds between monomers in a polymer by adding water. This process is necessary in digestion so that molecules can be small enough to be absorbed and transported into the cell. polymer + H2O monomer + monomer

8 Organic Substances Structure Subunit Types Roles Examples
Identification Carbohydrate Lipids Protein Nucleic Acid

13 Polysaccharides Starch Starch Starch Starch
Carbon ring C6H12O 6 Polysaccharides Starch Starch A storage molecule found in plants. Plants store sugars in the form of starch for later use. Starch Starch

14 Polysaccharides Glycogen Glycogen Glycogen Glycogen
Carbon ring C6H12O 6 Polysaccharides Glycogen Glycogen A storage molecule found in animals. Animals store sugars in the form of glycogen in the liver for later use. Glycogen Glycogen

15 Polysaccharides Cellulose Cellulose Carbon ring C6H12O 6
A major component in cell walls. The cellulose enables the plants to have rigid cell walls which allows them to have sturdy trunks and branches. Only a few organisms have the enzymes necessary for digesting cellulose.

16 Chemical Tests Carbon ring C6H12O 6
Benedict’s reagent is used to test for simple sugars (mono- saccharides) like glucose and fructose. When heated, Benedict’s reagent changes color from light blue to red/orange if a simple sugar is present. Iodine solution is used to test for the presence of polysaccharides (starch). If starch is present, a color change from amber to purple/black occurs. Starch No starch

34 Tests for Lipids Sudan III is a chemical test for the presence of lipids. If lipids are present, this indicator will turn orange-pink. + Brown paper may also be used to test for the presence of lipids. Lipids soak into the paper, causing it to have a translucent appearance.

36 NUCLEIC ACIDS RNA DNA

37 NUCLEIC ACIDS Nucleic acids are the only macromolecules with the unique ability to REPRODUCE themselves and carry the code that directs all of the cell’s activities.

38 The subunits (monomers, building blocks) of nucleic acids are called
NUCLEOTIDES. nitrogen base phosphate sugar (Pentose- 5 Carbon)

39 NUCLEIC ACIDS The pentose (5 carbon) sugar in a nucleotide is either ribose (RNA) or deoxyribose (DNA).

40 NUCLEIC ACIDS PHOSPHATE GROUP

41 ADENINE (A) & GUANINE (G)
NUCLEIC ACIDS The NITROGEN BASES fit into 2 families: 6 membered rings of carbon and nitrogen atoms. CYTOSINE (C) THYMINE (T) – DNA URACIL (U) - RNA 5 membered ring attached to a pyrimadine ring. ADENINE (A) & GUANINE (G)

42 ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE
NUCLEIC ACIDS ATP ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE An individual nucleotide that functions in energy transfer (acts like a battery) in the cell. adenine triphosphate ribose

43 NUCLEIC ACIDS Polynucleotides
Condensation reactions (dehydration synthesis) join the nitrogen bases to the ribose. The same type of reaction happens twice to join the phosphate group to the adjoining riboses. Polynucleotides

44 NUCLEIC ACIDS Polynucleotides:
DNA – Deoxyribonucleic Acid is made up of 2 polynucleotide chains twisted around a central axis. The nitrogen bases that make up DNA are A, G, C, and T. RNA – Ribonucleic Acid is a single stranded chain made up of the nitrogen bases A, G, C, and U.

Enzyme Activity Measuring the Effect of Enzyme Concentration

47 Activation Energy- energy needed to start a reaction.
Drawing Courtesy of Keeley Lowery- Carroll High School Enzymes and Catalysts speed up reactions by lowering activation energy without being used up! Substrates are placed in close proximity and the correct orientation to interact. Activation Energy- energy needed to start a reaction. Substrate- chemical that bond to the active site. Enzyme-Substrate Complex- The substrate and enzyme are bonded together. Inhibitors Competitive- Competes for the active site with the substrate. Non-competitive- change the shape of the active site so the substrate cannot attach to the site.

48 Enzyme Activity Today’s reaction: catalase
Hydrogen peroxide water + oxygen What is the enzyme? substrate? product(s)?
