Synthesis and Hydrolysis : Synthesis and Hydrolysis
Proteins : 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
Amino acid structure : Amino acid structure AA-AA Dipeptide
AA-AA-AA Tripeptide
AA-AA-AA-AA Tetrapeptide
AA-AA-AA-AA-AA Polypeptide
Bond between Amino acids - Peptide Bond
Levels of Structure : Levels of Structure 1. Primary
2. Secondary
3. Tertiary
4. Quaternary
Primary Level of Structure : Primary Level of Structure The linear sequence of Amino acids
Slide 9 :
Secondary Level of Structure : Secondary Level of Structure When the a chain of polypeptides takes on a specific orientation in space
2 Main Types
Alpha Helix

Tertiary Level of Structure : Tertiary Level of Structure Final 3 dimensional configuration
Held together by many different bonds:
peptide
ionic
hydrogen
covalent
sulfhydryl
Slide 13 :
Quaternary Level of Structure : Quaternary Level of Structure When 2 or more proteins come together to form a functional unit
Slide 15 :

Simple vs. Conjugated Proteins : Simple vs. Conjugated Proteins Simple proteins - contains only amino acids
Conjugated proteins - amino acid with another component
Glycoprotein
Nucleoprotein
Lipoprotein
Phosphoprotein
Carbohydrates - sugars and starches : 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)
Monosaccharides - simple sugars : Monosaccharides - simple sugars Contain from 3 to 7 carbons
Trioses 3 carbons
Tetroses 4 carbons
Pentoses 5 carbons
Hexoses 6 carbons
Heptoses 7 carbons
Glucose, Fructose, Galactose
Disaccharides - 2 monosaccharides : Disaccharides - 2 monosaccharides Glucose + Fructose = Sucrose
Glucose + Galactose = Lactose
Glucose + Glucose = Maltose
Slide 23 :
Polysaccharides - a chain of monosaccharides : Polysaccharides - a chain of monosaccharides 1. Glycogen
2. Starch
3. Cellulose
Slide 25 : 1. Glycogen - storage form of glucose for animals and some bacteria
Slide 26 : 2. Starch - storage form of glucose in plants
Slide 27 : 3. Cellulose - main structural component of plant and algae cell walls
Lipids - fats and oils : 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
Simple Lipids (fats) : Simple Lipids (fats) 1 Glycerol
3 Fatty acids Triglyceride
Fatty acids
saturated
unsaturated
Phospholipid - Complex Lipid : Phospholipid - Complex Lipid Phosphate group replaces one of the Fatty Acids
Polar head & non-polar tail
Main structural component of the cell membrane
Cell Membrane : Cell Membrane
Nucleic Acids : Nucleic Acids DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid
RNA - ribonucleic acid
Basic Unit - Nucleotide
Nucleotide
phosphate
