    CHAPTER 3 Biomolecules 3.1 Carbohydrates In the previous chapter you have learnt about the cell and 3.2 Fatty Acids and its organelles. Each organelle has distinct structure and Lipids therefore performs different function. For example, cell membrane is made up of lipids and proteins. Cell wall is 3.3 Amino Acids made up of carbohydrates. Chromosomes are made up of 3.4 Protein Structure protein and nucleic acid, i.e., DNA and ribosomes are made 3.5 Nucleic Acids up of protein and nucleic acids, i.e., RNA. These ingredients of cellular organelles are also called macromolecules or biomolecules. There are four major types of biomolecules— carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. Apart from being structural entities of the cell, these biomolecules play important functions in cellular processes. In this chapter you will study the structure and functions of these biomolecules. 3.1 CARBOHYDRATES Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant classes of biomolecules in nature and found widely distributed in all life forms. Chemically, they are aldehyde and ketone derivatives of the polyhydric alcohols. Major role of carbohydrates in living organisms is to function as a primary source of energy. These molecules also serve as energy stores, 2021-22 Chapter 3 Carbohydrade Final 30.018.2018.indd 50 11/14/2019 10:11:16 AM 51 BIOMOLECULES metabolic intermediates, and one of the major components of bacterial and plant cell wall.

Samples were prepared using liquid–liquid extraction conducted using a trizma/isopropanol/butyl chloride bufer system. Reversed-phase separation employing a column (50 × 2.1 mm) packed with 2.6-μm C18 particles was then performed under gradient elution with mobile phase composition consisting of acetic acid and aqueous-acetonitrile mixtures with the acetonitrile content ranging from 10 to 100% v/v. Compounds were detected with high-resolution MS operated in full scan mode having a mass accuracy < 5 ppm. In this study, isobaric compounds (same nominal mass) were easily distinguished and identifed by their diferent retention times. Extracted ion chromatograms (XICs) with narrow mass tolerance window (5 ppm) 2 provided analysis with acceptable linearity (r ) ranged from 0.9530 to 1, low limits of detection (LOD) (0.02–39 ng mL−1) and low limit of quantifcation (LOQ) (0.1–130 ng mL−1). The developed method was applied to successfully analyse drugs in 26 blood samples from positive forensic cases and proved that this technique was able to detect analytes at trace level.

  • Sugars As the Source of Energized Carbon for Abiogenesis
    Astrobiology Science Conference 2010 (2010) 5095.pdf SUGARS AS THE SOURCE OF ENERGIZED CARBON FOR ABIOGENESIS. A. L. Weber, SETI Institute, NASA Ames Research Center, Mail Stop 239-4, Moffett Field, CA, 94035-1000, [email protected] Abstract: As shown in Figure 1, abiogenesis has sev- eral requirements: (A) a source of organic substrates and chemical energy that drives the synthesis of (B) useful small molecules (ammonia, monomers, metabo- lites, energy molecules), and (C) a second synthetic processs that yields large replicating and catalytic polymers that control (D) the growth and maintenance of a primitive protocell. Furthermore, the required chemical energy must be sustained and effectively coupled to individual reactions to drive biosynthesis at a rate that counters chemical degradation. Energy coupling would have been especially difficult during the origin of life before the development of powerful enzyme catalysts with 3-D active sites. To solve this energy coupling problem we have investigated abio- genesis using sugar substrates whose energized carbon groups drive spontaneous synthetic self-transformation reactions that yield: biometabolites, catalytic mole- cules, energy-rich thioesters, amino acids, plausible alternative nucleobases and cell-like microstructures [1-8]. Recently, we demonstrated that sugars drive the synthesis of ammonia from nitrite [9]. The ability of sugars to drive ammonia synthesis provides a way to generate ammonia at microscopic sites of sugar-based origins processes, thereby eliminating the need for a planet-wide source of photochemically unstable am- monia.

Bowman | Shardrack O. Asare | Bert C. Lynn Department of Chemistry, University of Rationale: Effective analytical techniques are needed to characterize lignin Kentucky, Lexington, KY 40506, USA products for the generation of renewable carbon sources. Application of matrix‐ Correspondence assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) in lignin analysis is limited because of Bert C. Lynn, Department of Chemistry, UK Mass Spectrometry Facility, University of poor ionization efficiency. In this study, we explored the potential of cationization Kentucky, A053 ASTeCC Building, Lexington, along with a 2,5‐dihydroxyacetophenone (DHAP) matrix to characterize model KY 40506‐0286, USA. Email: [email protected] lignin oligomers. Funding information Methods: Synthesized lignin oligomers were analyzed using the developed MALDI National Science Foundation, Grant/Award method. Two matrix systems, DHAP and α‐cyano‐4‐hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA), Number: OIA 1632854 and three cations (lithium, sodium, silver) were evaluated using a Bruker UltraFlextreme time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer. Instrumental parameters, cation concentration, matrix, sample concentrations, and sample spotting protocols were optimized for improved results. Results: The DHAP/Li+ combination was effective for dimer analysis as lithium adducts. Spectra from DHP and ferric chloride oligomers showed improved signal intensities up to decamers (m/z 1823 for the FeCl3 system) and provided insights into differences in the oligomerization mechanism. Spectra from a mixed DHP oligomer system containing H, G, and S units showed contributions from all monolignols within an oligomer level (e.g.

Abstract Traditionally separate disciplines of a large and broad chemical spectrum, synthetic organic chemistry and biochemistry have found in the last two decades a fertile common ground in the area pertaining to the biosynthesis of natural products. Both disciplines remain indispensable in providing unique solutions on numerous questions populating the field. Our contributions to this interdisciplinary pursuit have been confined to the biosynthesis of polyketides, a therapeutically and structurally diverse class of natural products, where we employed both synthetic chemistry and biochemical techniques to validate complex metabolic processes. One such example pertained to the uncertainty surrounding the regiochemistry of dehydration and cyclization in the biosynthetic pathway of the marine polyketide spiculoic acid A. The molecule's key intramolecular cyclization was proposed to occur through a linear chain containing an abnormally dehydrated polyene system. We synthesized a putative advanced polyketide intermediate and tested its viability to undergo a mild chemical transformation to spiculoic acid A. In addition, we applied a synthetic and biochemical approach to elucidate the biosynthetic details of thioesterase-catalyzed macrocyclizations in polyketide natural products.
