Macromolecules
2
Organic Chemistry Carbon atoms can form diverse molecules by bonding to four other atoms
3
Carbon Skeletons Length Double bond position Branching Presence of rings Figure 4.5 Four ways that carbon skeletons can vary Carbon atoms can form diverse molecules by bonding to four other atoms
4
Isomers Structural = Difference in covalent bonds
Cis-trans = Difference in arrangement around double bond Enantiomers = Difference in shape due to the presence of an asymmetric carbon
5
Pharmacological Enantiomers

Macromolecules Carbohydrates Proteins
Lipids (not classified as a macro) Nucleic Acids
14
Monosaccharides Aldehyde or Ketone with hydroxyl groups
15
Glucose Though often drawn as linear skeletons, in aqueous solutions many sugars form rings (more stable) Monosaccharides serve as a major fuel for cells and as raw material for building molecules
16
Disaccharides Glycosidic linkages – connection between two monosaccarides
