Slide 8 / 140 Organic Chemistry

Carbon atoms can form diverse molecules by bonding to four other atoms which are in different directions. This allows the molecule to take on a 3D configuration. It is this 3D structure that defines the molecule's function.

Slide 9 / 140 Electron Configuration

You should remember from chemistry, electron configuration is the key to an atom’s characteristics. Electron configuration determines the kinds and number of bonds an atom will form with other atoms. Carbon has four valence electrons to make covalent bonds.

• carbohydrates. The most common of these are glucose and

fructose. Disaccharides are formed by combining two

• monosaccharides. Table sugar, (sucrose) is made up of

glucose and fructose. Polysaccharides are formed by combining chains of many monosaccharides.

Carbohydrates Slide 35 / 140

Monosaccharides are the simplest sugars. Examples include glucose and fructose In solution, they form ring-shaped molecules. The basic roles of simple sugars are as: · fuel to do work, · the raw materials for carbon backbones · the monomers from which larger carbohydrates are synthesized.

Polysaccharides are polymers of glucose. Different organisms link monosaccharides together, using dehydration reactions, to form several different polysaccharides. The most important 3 are starch, glycogen, and cellulose.

Polysaccharides

Slide 43 / 140 Polysaccharides: Starch

Starch is used for long term energy storage in plants. A starch can be branched or unbranched.

Slide 44 / 140 Polysaccharides: Glycogen

Slide 60 / 140

Slide 61 / 140 Slide 62 / 140

Each strand is unique due to its sequence of

• bases. In this way, genetic information is stored

in the sequence of nucleotides. Since the bases are not part of the sugar or the bond, the base sequence is independent of

• them. Any base sequence is possible.

Slide 68 / 140

30 Uracil is a purine. True False

Slide 69 / 140

31 Pyrimidines are bases with single carbon rings. True False

Slide 70 / 140 Slide 71 / 140 RNA

RNA is a single strand of nucleotides. This strand folds in on itself, hydrogen bonds forming between the bases, and between bases and surrounding water. These bonds cause RNA to form different shapes. Different sequence of bases = different shapes

Slide 72 / 140 RNA base pair bonding

Bonds form between bases in a predictable pattern. A nucleotide with an adenine base (A) will hydrogen bond with a nucleotide with a uracil (U) base. A nucleotide with a guanine (G) base bonds with a nucleotide with a cytosine (C) base.

RNA

Slide 74 / 140

DNA is double-stranded. It only forms one shape: the double-helix. Pair bonding between nucleotides still occurs, but in DNA it is between guanine (G) and cytosine (C) and between adenine (A) and thymine (T)

DNA

Adenine Thymine Cytosine Guanine

A T C G Slide 75 / 140

Instead of nucleotides being attracted to other bases in the same strand, to create shapes, they bond to matching nucleotides in a second strand, to create the double stranded helix.

Double Helix Slide 76 / 140

But it also means that DNA can't directly work in the cell. It is a library of information, but the only way that information can be used is via RNA. RNA is chemically active in the cell, DNA is not.

DNA v. RNA

This makes DNA a better archive for genetic information since the bases are on the inside of the helix, protected. Thymine is also more stable than uracil.

Slide 77 / 140 Storage and Implementation of the Genetic Code

So DNA is more useful and stable as an archive, while RNA is more useful working in the cells. RNA carries genetic information from DNA to where it can be used. DNA is maintained in a safe environment to maintain the integrity

• f the genetic code.

RNA is used throughout the cell to implement the genetic code that's stored within DNA.

Slide 78 / 140 DNA and RNA

RNA strands are shorter and less durable than DNA strands, but they are critical to communicate the instructions of the DNA code to the cell where they can be executed. Without RNA, the information stored in DNA could not be used. And without DNA, the information would not be as stable.

Slide 79 / 140

33 DNA is more stable than RNA because _____. A it can form a double helix B it contains the base uracil C it can form a double helix and contains the base uracil D it can form a double helix and contains the base thymine

Proteins

Return to Table of Contents

Slide 83 / 140

Proteins are compounds consisting of carbon, hydrogen and

• xygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur.

Proteins

also called

peptides also called polypeptides.

Proteins Slide 84 / 140

Proteins are chains of amino acids . There are 20 amino acids used to construct the vast majority of proteins. While there are a few others that are sometimes used, these 20 are the "standard" amino acids. All life on Earth uses virtually the same set of amino acids to construct its proteins.

Amino Acids

Slide 85 / 140

amine group (NH3) side chain carboxyl group (COOH) Amino Acids always include an amine group (NH3), a carboxyl group (COOH) and a side chain that is unique to each amino acid.

Components of Amino Acids

The side chain (sometimes called the R-group) determines the unique properties of each amino acid. Here it is symbolized by the letter "R".

Slide 86 / 140

The chemical bond that is formed between amino acids is called a peptide bond. Hydroxyl group H atom Water

Peptide Bonds

Like bonds between saccharides and nucleotides, they are formed by dehydration synthesis.

37 Which component of amino acids varies between the 20 different kinds? A Amine group B Carboxyl group C Hydroxyl group D R-group

Slide 92 / 140 Protein Shape and Structure

Shape is critical to the function of a protein. A protein's shape depends on four levels of structure: · Primary · Secondary · Tertiary · Quaternary

Slide 93 / 140

The primary structure of a protein is the sequence of amino acids that comprise it. Each protein consists of a unique sequence.

Proteins: Primary Structure

Alanine Lysine Valine Leucine Serine Leucine Leucine Alanine Lysine Alanine Serine Lysine

• r
• r
• r...

Slide 94 / 140 Changes in Primary Structure

Changes in the primary structure of a protein are changes in its amino acid sequence. Changing an amino acid in a protein changes its primary structure, and can affect its overall structure and ability to function. Sickle Cell disease is an example of a single amino acid defect

Slide 95 / 140 Sickle Cell Disease

Sickle Cell Disease is a blood disorder specifically involving hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood. A single glutamate amino acid is replaced in the primary sequence by a valine.The result changes the

• verall shape of the hemoglobin molecule and does

not allow it to properly carry oxygen.

Slide 96 / 140 Secondary Structure

Secondary Structure is a result of hydrogen bond formation between amine and carboxyl groups of amino acids in each polypeptide chain. Depending on where the groups are relative to one another, the secondary structure takes the shape

• f an alpha helix or a pleated

sheet. Note: R-groups do not play a role in secondary structure.

Slide 97 / 140

alpha helix pleated sheets

Secondary Structure Slide 98 / 140 Tertiary Structure

Tertiary Structure is the

• verall 3-D shape of the

polypeptide. It results from the clustering

• f hydrophobic and

hydrophilic R-groups and bonds between them along the helices and pleats.

Slide 99 / 140 Structure Determines Function

The function of proteins is determined by their shape: it's tertiary structure. It's shape is driven by chemistry, but it is the shape, not the chemistry, that dictates function. Each sequence of amino acids folds in a different way as each amino acid in the chain interacts with water and the

• ther amino acids in the protein uniquely.

For instance, upon contacting water, a protein can fold into grooves that function as binding sites for other molecules.

Slide 100 / 140 Denaturation

Changes in heat, pH, and salinity can cause proteins to unfold and lose their functionality, known as denaturation. This egg's protein has undergone denaturation and loss of solubility, caused by the high rise in the temperature of the egg during the cooking process.

Slide 101 / 140

Slide 124 / 140 Trans Fats

Trans unsaturated fatty acids (transfats) The chemical process that's used to saturate unsaturated fatty acids can lead to transfats. These have a double bond that is rotated, resulting in a linear chain. These do not function well in biological systems and are a health hazard. twisted double bond click here to see a video on lipids

Slide 125 / 140 Trans Fat: Margarine

Margarine is a trans fat which which developed during World War II Due to a milk and butter shortage, scientists took corn oil and hydrogenated it. The double bonds became single bonds and a solid was formed

Slide 126 / 140 Health Hazards of Trans Fats

Trans fats tend to stay in the bloodstream much longer than saturated or unsaturated fats. Trans fats are much more prone to arterial deposition and plaque formation. Trans fats are thought to play a role in the following diseases and disorders: cancer, alzheimers disease, diabetes, obesity, liver dysfunction, and infertity.
