Factors to Consider in the Study of Biomolecules
What are the features of the basic building blocks ? (ex: monosaccharides, alcohols, fatty acids, amino acids)
1) General structure and functional groups 2) Polar and non-polar portions
3) Hydrogen bonding capabilities
4) Acid-Base properties
5) Optical activity
6) Other chemical properties

Factors to Consider in the Study of Biomolecules
Do the small building blocks function by themselves ?
Are the building blocks put together into larger structures ?
What are the physical properties of these larger structures ?
How are the various types of biomolecules suited for their individual functions ?

Lipids
Classification of a compound as a lipid is based on its solubility behavior rather than the presence of a common functional group.
Lipids are compounds which dissolve in nonpolar or low polarity solvents such as toluene, dioxane, or
carbon tetrachloride.

Lipids
Note:
Other than triacylglycerols, most lipids are actually amphipathic:
One part of the molecule is hydrophobic. One part of the molecule is hydrophilic.
However, the hydrophobic part of a lipid molecule is usually much larger than the hydrophilic part.
Therefore, most lipids are insoluble (or very slightly soluble) in water.

Varieties of Lipids
• Triacylglycerols—animal fats and plant oils— sources of energy and a storage form of energy not required for immediate use.
• Glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and cholesterol are the primary structural components of the membranes that surround all cells and organelles.
• Steroid hormones and other hormone-like lipids act as chemical messengers, initiating or altering activity in specific target cells.
• The lipid-soluble (fat-soluble) vitamins - required for a variety of physiological functions.
• Bile salts - needed for the digestion of lipids in the intestinal tract.

Classification of Lipids
Hydrolyzable Lipids
Non-Hydrolyzable Lipids
Contain one or more straight chain fatty acids connected to
another structure through ester, amide, or glycoside linkages.
Do not contain hydrolyzable linkages.

Biologically Important Fatty AcidsFatty acids may be saturated or unsaturated:
Saturated fatty acids: contain no C=C bonds. Palmitic (C-16) and stearic (C-18) acids are the most common.
Unsaturated fatty acids: contain one or more C=C bonds
(Almost all naturally occurring unsaturated fatty acids contain cis double bonds.)
(monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids).
Oleic (C-18, one C=C) - the most common.
Linoleic and linolenic acids - essential fatty acids for animals Synthesized only by plants. They must be supplied in the diet.
(The position of the double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids is sometimes indicated by an omega number (ω-). The ω-1 carbon is the methyl group farthest from the carbonyl carbon.) Linoleic and linolenic acids are ω-6 and ω-3 fatty acids.

Waxes
Most waxes are fatty acid esters with long chain alcohols having only one –OH group.
The alcohols in waxes usually contain an even number of carbon atoms ranging from 14 to 36.

Triacylglycerols (Triglycerides)
Make up about 90% of our dietary lipid intake.
Animal Fats, Fish oils, Plant Oils
Triacylglycerols are triesters of glycerol:
![Page 16: Introduction to the Study of Lipids - profkatz.comprofkatz.com/courses/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Lecture-15-Intro-to-Lipids-32-2017...The catalysts used for hydrogenation reactions](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062317/5e2feb98ddd51a58d82257b2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Naturally occurring triacylglycerols contain a variety of fatty acid components. Any fat or oil is a mixture of many different triacylglycerols, few of which are “simple” (R1=R2=R3).
The percentage of unsaturated fatty acids varies with the source:
Animal sources other than fish: 40-60% Fish (high percentage of polyunsaturation): 75-80% Plant sources: 85-90%

Triacylglycerols - Catalytic Hydrogenation
Catalytic hydrogenation - the addition of H2 to alkene double bonds in the presence of a metal catalyst (Ni or Pt).
This process is the basis for the conversion of plant oils into margarine and other products.
Some but not all of the double bonds in vegetable oils are hydrogenated in order to convert them into more solid, more
palatable forms.
Effectively, one can adjust the melting point of any lipid component of a food.
![Page 28: Introduction to the Study of Lipids - profkatz.comprofkatz.com/courses/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Lecture-15-Intro-to-Lipids-32-2017...The catalysts used for hydrogenation reactions](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062317/5e2feb98ddd51a58d82257b2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Saturated fatty acids (from animals and butter, for example) are implicated in the development of atherosclerosis.
Vegetable oils contain a much higher percentage of unsaturated fatty acids and almost no cholesterol.
Triacylglycerols in the DietWhat’s good about unsaturated triglycerides?
The catalysts used for hydrogenation reactions have a serious drawback. They also catalyze an unwanted
reaction: the isomerization of some of the remaining cis double bonds into trans double bonds.
Evidence suggests that trans double bonds raise blood cholesterol levels more than cis double bonds and perhaps
more than saturated fatty acids.
What’s bad about unsaturated triglycerides?
What’s bad about the hydrogenation process?
Saturated fats last longer because oxidation of the double bonds causes rancidity.

Triacylglycerol Digestion
Triacylglycerols in the diet are too large to diffuse through the intestinal membranes.
Prior to absorption, triacylglycerols are first digested in the small intestine (basic pH) with enzymes called lipases with the help of
bile salts.
The digestion in the intestines produces a mixture of primarily monoacylglycerols and fatty acids with some diacylglycerols and
glycerol.
![Page 30: Introduction to the Study of Lipids - profkatz.comprofkatz.com/courses/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Lecture-15-Intro-to-Lipids-32-2017...The catalysts used for hydrogenation reactions](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062317/5e2feb98ddd51a58d82257b2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The intestinal cells rebuild the triacylglycerols and combine them with proteins into particles called chylomicrons.
Chylomicrons are transported via the lymphatic system to the bloodstream where they are carried to various tissues.
In the tissues the triacylglycerols are separated from the proteins, hydrolyzed to fatty acids and glycerol, and metabolized to produce
energy.
Fatty acids not needed for energy are reconverted to triacylglycerols and stored in adipose cells (adipocytes or fat cells) as fat droplets.
Triacylglycerol Digestion
![Page 31: Introduction to the Study of Lipids - profkatz.comprofkatz.com/courses/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Lecture-15-Intro-to-Lipids-32-2017...The catalysts used for hydrogenation reactions](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062317/5e2feb98ddd51a58d82257b2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Triglycerides as an Energy Source
Triacylglycerols are the primary energy storage form in animals.
Triacylglycerols: 9.2 kcal/g dry weight Glycogen: 4.0 kcal/g dry weight
Glycogen is stored in a highly hydrated form whereas triacylglycerol is stored in an anhydrous form.
Taking this into account 1 g of triacylglycerol yields 7 times more
energy than 1 g of hydrated glycogen.
Normal liver and muscle glycogen levels can fill your energy needs for approximately 12 hours.
Adipose tissue triacylglycerols can fill your energy needs for several weeks to a couple of months.
