Biochemistry Topics
• 4 major macromolecules of life– Structure– Function
• Why are they important?• Energy and Reactions
– Hydrolysis vs. condensation/dehydration synthesis
![Page 4: Biochemistry Bio 300 What does Organic Mean?. Atomic Number # of protons (and also # of electrons) Chemical symbol Name of Element Atomic Mass The weight](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bfd11a28abf838cab564/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Carbon can form 4 covalent bonds– Leads to many different molecules– forming large chains or rings
• Linking of carbons can form very large molecules called Macromolecules
• Each individual unit is called a monomer. When they are linked together they are called a polymer.
• 4 macromolecules necessary for life: carbohydrates, lipids, protein, nucleic acids
Why Carbon?

Carbohydrates• Fxn: Primary source of Energy• Structure: Made of C, H, and O
– Ratio of C:H:O is 1:2:1
– General formula: Cn(H2O)n-1 ie. C12H22O11
• n = the # of C’s in the molecule : usually 3 - 7
– Rings are usually formed as opposed to the linear structure
• Small carbs. are water soluble because of -OH groups

Types of Carbohydrates• Monomer = Monosaccharide
– Simple sugars: glucose, galactose, fructose– 6-C sugar molecule = “hexose”
• Disaccharides = 2 sugars linked together– Sucrose = glucose + fructose– Lactose = glucose + galactose– Maltose = glucose + glucose
• Polymer = Polysaccharide = many monosacc.s joined– Longterm energy storage– Plants = starch, cellulose– Animals = glycogen

LIPIDS Fats, Oils, Waxes• Fxn: Long-term energy storage
& Cell membrane structure• Structure: Made of C, H, O
– No definite ratios
• Nonpolar – not soluble in water; hydrophobic• Examples: triglycerides - saturated &
unsaturated fats, phospholipids, sterols (steroids &cholesterol, hormones and vitamins

Saturated vs. Unsaturated • All single bonds connect C• Solid at room temp• Ex: butter, lard• “Straight, stackable”
• Contain double bonds• Liquid at room temp• Ex: olive oil, corn oil• Typically plant-based
![Page 19: Biochemistry Bio 300 What does Organic Mean?. Atomic Number # of protons (and also # of electrons) Chemical symbol Name of Element Atomic Mass The weight](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bfd11a28abf838cab564/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What are trans-fats?
• “Trans” double bonds are not naturally found in biological systems
• When unsat. fats are “hydrogenated” to become sat. fat (easier to store, ship,use), the H’s can rearrange and ‘straighten out’ the molecule
• Trans fat is bad (?) b/c it is not recognized by our body’s enzymes (?)

• Component of cell membrane
• Two fatty acids + glycerol + phosphate group
• Amphipathic– Polar head: hydrophilic
• Phosphate group attached to glycerol
– Non-Polar Tail: Hydrophobic• Two fatty acid chains attached
to glycerol

Proteins• Fxn: control reactions (enzymes), regulate cell
processes, structure (tissues, bones, muscles), transport & help fight disease
• Structure: contain N, C, H, O– Have an amino group (-NH2) – Have a carboxyl group (-COOH)– Have an “R” group (“other”)
• there are 20 different R groups• Three major groups: Polar, Ionic, and Nonpolar

Proteins• MONOMER: amino acid• POLYMER: Polypeptide or Protein
– 2 amino acids are joined by a peptide bond– 4 levels of protein structure
![Page 26: Biochemistry Bio 300 What does Organic Mean?. Atomic Number # of protons (and also # of electrons) Chemical symbol Name of Element Atomic Mass The weight](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bfd11a28abf838cab564/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Protein Structure• Primary structure
– Amino acids bond forming polypeptide chain
• Secondary structure– folds or twists & held by H bonds
• Tertiary Structure– More complex folding: globular (“blobby”)– Usually b/c of hydrophobicity
• Quaternary Structure– Multiple structures folded together
• This is important because the funky shapes create enzyme ‘pockets’ that are specific to a job

Causes of DenaturationChange in protein conformation/shape1. Temperature:
– Increase will cause bonds to twist too much (lose shape); decrease slows everything down
2. pH– Not enough “hydrogens” in surrounding messes
up the ionic attractions and repulsions that make structure
3. Salt Concentration- Same as pH – too many ions (+ or - ) will change the
folded shape

Chemical Reactions
Process that changes one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals
• Reactant + Reactant = Product + Product• Always involve changes in the chemical bonds
that join atoms in compoundsREARRANGING!
What are two very famous biological equations?

Types of Reactions• Hydrolysis
– Break apart monomers– by the addition of water. – An H is added to one monomer & an OH is added to the
other monomer.
• Dehydration Synthesis ( or Condensation)– Join monomers – One monomer loses a H+ and the other loses an OH-
– Water is removed– Covalent bond is formed

Energy in reactions
• Bonds are the storage place of energy in molecules / compounds
– Break a bond RELEASE energy
– Make a bond REQUIRES energy
• Technical note: This is truest for biological complex molecules
![Page 38: Biochemistry Bio 300 What does Organic Mean?. Atomic Number # of protons (and also # of electrons) Chemical symbol Name of Element Atomic Mass The weight](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/5697bfd11a28abf838cab564/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Energy in Reactions• EXERGONIC (E exiting)• Chemical reactions that release energy • Often spontaneous (occur on their own)
– But often need a “push” to get started
• ENDERGONIC (E needing)• Chemical reactions that absorb energy • Need energy input to occur
• ACTIVATION ENERGY the energy needed to get a reaction started. Enzymes (proteins) do this.
