1
D-Chemical Principles (Organic Compounds)
2
Organic Compounds w Contain Carbon and Hydrogen w Compounds of Life w Biologic Molecules
3
4 Groups of Organic Compounds w 1. Proteins w 2. Carbohydrates w 3. Lipids w 4. Nucleic Acids
4
Synthesis and Hydrolysis
5
Proteins Enzymes, carrier molecules, hormones, antibodies, cell wall, cell membrane Over 50 % of a cells dry weight is Protein Basic Unit Molecule Amino acids - 20 amino acids found in living systems
6
Amino acid structure AA-AADipeptide AA-AA-AATripeptide AA-AA-AA-AATetrapeptide AA-AA-AA-AA-AAPolypeptide Bond between Amino acids - Peptide Bond
7
Levels of Structure w 1. Primary w 2. Secondary w 3. Tertiary w 4. Quaternary
8
Primary Level of Structure w The linear sequence of Amino acids
10
Secondary Level of Structure When the a chain of polypeptides takes on a specific orientation in space 2 Main Types Alpha Helix Beta Pleated Sheet
12
Tertiary Level of Structure Final 3 dimensional configuration Held together by many different bonds: peptide ionic hydrogen covalent sulfhydryl
14
Quaternary Level of Structure w When 2 or more proteins come together to form a functional unit
16
Denatured w Temperature w pH w salt concentrations w heavy metals
18
Simple vs. Conjugated Proteins Simple proteins - contains only amino acids Conjugated proteins - amino acid with another component Glycoprotein Nucleoprotein Lipoprotein Phosphoprotein
19
Carbohydrates - sugars and starches C, H, O Ratio of H to O 2 : 1 Hydrates of carbon Functions Fuel for cell activity food reserve (starch) part of bacterial cell wall part of DNA and RNA (deoxyribose and ribose)
20
Monosaccharides - simple sugars Contain from 3 to 7 carbons Trioses3 carbons Tetroses4 carbons Pentoses5 carbons Hexoses6 carbons Heptoses7 carbons Glucose, Fructose, Galactose
21
Disaccharides - 2 monosaccharides w Glucose + Fructose = Sucrose w Glucose + Galactose = Lactose w Glucose + Glucose = Maltose
23
Polysaccharides - a chain of monosaccharides w 1. Glycogen w 2. Starch w 3. Cellulose
24
1. Glycogen - storage form of glucose for animals and some bacteria
25
2. Starch - storage form of glucose in plants
26
3. Cellulose - main structural component of plant and algae cell walls
27
Lipids - fats and oils C, H, O (but lack the 2:1 ratio found in carbohydrates) wide variety of lipids, but all are non-polar Function energy storage structure of cell membrane and cell wall
28
Simple Lipids (fats) 1 Glycerol 3 Fatty acids Triglyceride Fatty acids saturated unsaturated
29
Phospholipid - Complex Lipid w Phosphate group replaces one of the Fatty Acids w Polar head & non-polar tail w Main structural component of the cell membrane
30
Cell Membrane
31
Nucleic Acids DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid RNA - ribonucleic acid Basic Unit - Nucleotide Nucleotide phosphate pentose sugar nitrogenous base
33
ATP - Adenosine triphosphate w Energy carrying molecule of the cell w ATP cycle
