Ap Bio, Chapter Five, Guide 1 UNIT ONE: THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE Chapter Five: The Structure and Function of Macromolecules (Text from Biology , 6 th Edition, by Campbell and Reece) The Structure and Function of Macromolecules (Chapter Five) POLYMER PRINCIPLES Most Macromolecules are Polymers The four main classes of macromolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. The large molecules in carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids are polymerspolymers, long molecules consisting of similar or identical building blocks linked by covalent bonds. These blocks are small molecules called monomersmonomers. Monomers are connected by a condensation reactionreaction, also known as a dehydration reactionreaction, where a water molecule is lost to allow the two monomers to bond together. One monomer loses a hydroxyl group (-OH), while the other loses a hydrogen (-H). Enzymes help to speed up these dehydration reactions. Hydrolysis is the process that reverses the dehydration reaction and breaks polymers back into monomers. By adding a water molecule to the bond, a hydrogen atom will attach to one monomer and the hydroxyl will attach to the other monomer. Digestion works through hydrolysis: enzymes work to speed up hydrolysis and break apart large polymers into monomers that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. An Immense Variety of Polymers Can Be Built From a Small Set of Monomers There is an amazing number of different combinations of polymers that result from the approximately 40 to 50 common monomers. The variation in the linear sequence the units follow result in unique macromolecules from small molecules common to all life. CARBOHYDRATES – FUEL AND BUILDING MATERIAL Carbohydrates include both sugars and their polymers. Monosaccharides are single sugars (also known as simple sugars) and disaccharides are double sugars. Polysaccharides are carbohydrates. Sugars, the Smallest Carbohydrates, Serve as Fuel and Carbon Sources Monosaccharides generally have molecular formulas that are a multiple of CH 2O. Glucose is the most common monosaccharide. A sugar has a carbonyl group and multiple hydroxyl groups. Depending on the location of the carbonyl group, the sugar is either an aldose or a ketose. Another criterion for grouping sugars is the size of the carbon skeleton, which can be from three to seven carbons long. Those with three carbons are trioses, five carbons are pentoses, and six carbons are hexoses. 2 UNIT ONE: THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE Chapter Five: The Structure and Function of Macromolecules (Text from Biology , 6 th Edition, by Campbell and Reece) Simple sugars can also differ in the spatial arrangement of their parts around asymmetric carbons. Glucose can be drawn in a linear carbon skeleton, but this is not really an accurate representation. In aqueous solutions, most sugars form rings. Monosaccharides are major nutrients in the cell. They fuel cellular work and the carbon skeletons work as raw material for other types of small organic molecules. A disaccharide consists of two monosaccharides joined by a glcyosidic linkagelinkage, a covalent bond formed between two monosaccharides by a dehydration reaction. Two glucoses bonded together result in maltose, while glucose and fructose bond together to create a sucrose. Lactose is created from galactose and glucose. Polysaccharides, the Polymers of Sugars, Have Storage and Structural Roles PolysacPolysaccharidescharides are macromolecules, composed of a few hundred to a few thousand monosaccharides joined by glycosidic linkages. Some polysaccharides store energy for the cells, while others are building materials for structures. Storage Polysaccharides Starch is a storage polysaccharide in plants and consists entirely of alpha glucose molecules. Amylose, the simplest form of starch consists of 1-4 glycosidic linkages. Amylopectin, a more complex type of starch, is branched and has 1-6 linkages at the branch points. Starch represents stored energy which can be released by breaking the bonds between the glucose monomers. Most animals can hydrolyze plant starch. Starch is usually helical. Animals store energy in glycogenglycogen, a polymer even more branched than amylopectin. Humans and other vertebrates store glycogen mainly in liver and muscle cells. Structural Polysaccharides Cellulose is created from beta glucose molecules. Because of the slightly different ring structure in beta glucose, when they bond, every other glucose monomer is upside down in respect to the other. Cellulose are grouped into microfibrils in plant cells, which are a strong building material for plants. It is the most abundant organic compound on Earth. Most animals do not have the beta enzyme necessary to break down cellulose. Some microbes are able to break down cellulose – cows have cellulose-digesting bacteria in the first compartment in its stomach. Chitin is the carbohydrate used by arthropods to build exoskeletons. While pure chitin is leathery, it becomes hardened when encrusted with calcium carbonate. 3 UNIT ONE: THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE Chapter Five: The Structure and Function of Macromolecules (Text from Biology , 6 th Edition, by Campbell and Reece) LIPIDS – DIVERSE HYDROPHOBIC MOLECULES Lipids have little or no affinity for water and have no monomers. They consist mostly of hydrocarbons. Fats Store Large Amounts of Energy A fatfatfat consists of glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is an alcohol with three carbons, each with its own hydroxyl group. A fatty acid has a long carbon skeleton, with a carboxyl group at the end of a long hydrocarbon chain. The nonpolar carbon-hydrogen bonds in the hydrocarbon chains are the reason why fats are hydrophobic. To make a fat, three fatty acids join together and bond to the glycerol through ester linkage (bond between hydroxyl and carboxyl group). The resulting Triacylglycerol has three fatty acid tails linked to one glycerol head. The terms saturated fats and unsaturated fats refer to the nature of the bonds between the carbon and hydrogen in the fatty acid tails. If there are no double bonds, then there are as many hydrogens as possible bonded to the carbon skeleton – this structure is a saturated fatty acidacid. An unsaturated fatty acid has one or more double bonds and will have a kink in its tail wherever there is a double bond. Most saturated fats are animal fats – these are solid at room temperature. Fat from plants and fishes are generally unsaturated and are liquid at room temperature – they are oils. Fats are used for energy storage. A gram of fat stores more than twice as much energy as a gram of a polysaccharide. Since animals must carry energy stores with them, it is more economic to have fat for energy storage, since it takes up less space. Phospholipids are Major Components of Cell Membranes Phospholipids are similar to fats, but they only have two fatty acids tails. The third hydroxyl group of glycerol is instead joined to a phosphate group. When phospholipids are added to water, they self- assemble into micelles: a phospholipid droplet with the hydrophobic tails inside and the hydrophilic heads facing the water. Steroids Include Cholesterol and Certain Hormones Steroids are characterized by a carbon skeleton of four fused rings. One steroid, cholesterolcholesterol, is a common component of animal cell membranes. PROTEINS – MANY STRUCTURES, MANY FUNCTIONS Proteins are the workhorses of the cell and are used for structural support, storage, transport of substances, signaling, movement, and defense. They are also used as enzymes. All proteins are 4 UNIT ONE: THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE Chapter Five: The Structure and Function of Macromolecules (Text from Biology , 6 th Edition, by Campbell and Reece) constructed out of the same set of 20 amino acids. Polymers of amino acids are called polyppolypeptideseptideseptides. Proteins consist of one or more polypeptides folded and coiled into specific shapes. A Polypeptide is a Polymer of Amino Acids Connected in a Specific Sequence Amino acids are organic molecules possessing both carboxyl and amino groups. The general formula for an amino acid: The alpha carbon is in the center, bonded to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a variable R group. The R group is also known as the side chain. The physical and chemical properties of the side chain determine how a particular amino acid will behave. When two amino acids are positioned so that the carboxyl group of one is adjacent to the amino group of the other, an enzyme can begin the dehydration reaction that will form the peptide bond (type of covalent bond). When this process is repeated over and over, a polypeptide will result. At one end of the chain is a free amino group, and the other end has a free carboxyl group. A Protein’s Function Depends on Its Specific Conformation A polypeptide is not quite the same as a protein. A functional protein is one or more polypeptides twisted, folded, and coiled into a uniquely shaped molecule. The amino acid sequence determines what three-dimensional shape the protein will take. Some proteins are globular while others are fibrous. Four Levels of Protein Structure When a cell creates a polypeptide, the chain automatically folds to achieve the shape it needs to carry out its function. This shape is held together by a variety of different bonds between parts of the chain. Primary StructureStructure. The primary structure of a protein is the sequence of amino acids. Even a slight change in the order of amino acids can affect the protein’s ability to function. Frederick Sanger was the pioneer in determining the primary structure of proteins. 5 UNIT ONE: THE CHEMISTRY OF LIFE Chapter Five: The Structure and Function of Macromolecules (Text from Biology , 6 th Edition, by Campbell and Reece) Secondary Structure. Most proteins have segments of their chain repeatedly coiled or folded – these coils and folds are referred to as the secondary structurestructure.structure They are the result of hydrogen bonds at regular intervals along the polypeptide backbone. This is limited to the atoms of the backbone, not the side chains.

Nature of the active sites of alumina P GANGULY* Department of Chemistry, Loyola College, Madras 600 034 *Present Address: Solid State and Structural Chemistry Unir, Indian Instituto of Seience, Bangaloro 560 012 MS received 14 April 1977 Abstract. The nature of the active sites of alumina for the reaction of cyclohexanone was investigated by the introduction of selective poisoning agents both on the surface of the alumina as well as in the reactant itself. Thus additives which are basic in nature such as sodium ions, ammonia, pyridine, as well as acidic additives such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, cyclohexanol, and isoproponal were used. Dual acid-base sites seem to be responsible for the catalytic properties. The sites responsible for the aldol condensation reaction giving a dimer seem to be similar to those sites responsible for the formation of ethers from alcohols, while the sites responsible for the formation of cyclohexene from cyclohexanone seem to be similar to those sites responsible for the formation of a carboxylate species on the adsorption of alcohols on alumina surfaces. A mechanism is proposed for the reaction of cyclohexanone which does involve the intermediacy of cyclohexanol to account for the formation of cyclo•exene. Keywords. Activo sites of alumina; oxido surfaces; ketone reaction meehanism; aldol condensation. 1. Introduction In ah earlier paper we had established the reaction sequence of a ketone such as eyclohexanone over alumina (Ganguly 1977).

In this paper a novel application of solid acid catalysts in the dehy- dration/Beckmann rearrangement of aldoximes; benzaldoxime and 4-methoxybenzaldoxime is reported. Dehydration/Beckmann rearrangement reactions of benzaldoxime and 4-methoxybenzaldoxime is carried out in a continuous down flow reactor at 473K. 4-Methoxybenzaldoxime gave both Beckmann rearrangement product (4-methoxyphenylformamide) and dehydration prod- uct (4-methoxybenzonitrile) in high overall yields. The difference in behavior of the aldoximes is explained in terms of electronic effects. The production of benzonitrile was near quantitative under heterogeneous reaction conditions. The optimal protocol allows nitriles to be synthesized in good yields through the dehydration of aldoximes. Time on stream studies show a fast decline in the activity of the catalyst due to neutralization of acid sites by the basic reactant and product molecules. Ó 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    1 Almost all of the molecules a cell makes are composed of carbon atoms bonded to one another and to atoms of other elements. ORGANIC COMPOUNDS- Carbon-based molecules. Each carbon atom is a connecting point from which a molecule can branch in up to four directions. HYDROCARBONS- Compounds composed of only carbon and hydrogen atoms. Carbon atoms, with attached hydrogens, can bond together in chains of various lengths to form compounds. CARBON SKELETON- The chain of carbon atoms in an organic molecule. May be branched or unbranched. Compounds with the same formula but different structures are called ISOMERS. 2 The unique properties of an organic compound depend on the size and shape of its carbon skeleton and on the groups of atoms that are attached to that skeleton. FUNCTIONAL GROUPS- Affect a molecule’s function by participating in chemical reactions in characteristic ways. These groups are polar, because their oxygen or nitrogen atoms exert a strong pull on shared electrons. This polarity tends to make the compounds containing these groups HYDROPHILIC (water- loving) and therefore soluble in water. A HYDROXYL GROUP consists of a hydrogen atom bonded to an oxygen atom, which in turn is bonded to the carbon skeleton. In a CARBONYL GROUP a carbon atom is linked by a double bond to an oxygen atom. If this functional group is found at either end then it is called an ALDEHYDE, but if it is located in the middle than it is known as a KETONE. A CARBOXYL GROUP consists of a carbon double- bonded to an oxygen and also bonded to a hydroxyl group.

  • Unit 2 – Biochemistry of Life Name ______
    Unit 2 – Biochemistry of Life Name __________________________ Chapter 4: Carbon and the Molecular Diversity of Life Overview: Carbon 4.1 Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds Organic chemistry focuses on organic compounds containing carbon. o Organic compounds can range from simple molecules, such as CH4, to complex molecules such as proteins, with thousands of atoms. o Most organic compounds contain hydrogen atoms as well as carbon. The overall percentages of the major elements of life (C, H, O, N, S, and P) are quite uniform from one organism to another. Because of carbon’s versatility, these few elements can be combined to build an inexhaustible variety of organic molecules. The science of organic chemistry began with attempts to purify and improve the yield of products obtained from organisms. o Initially, chemists learned to synthesize simple compounds in the laboratory but had no success with more complex compounds. Early organic chemists proposed vitalism, the belief that physical and chemical laws do not apply to living things. o In the early 1800s, the German chemist Friedrich Wöhler and his students synthesized urea. A few years later, Hermann Kolbe, a student of Wöhler’s, made the organic compound acetic acid from inorganic substances prepared directly from pure elements. In 1953, Stanley Miller at the University of Chicago set up a laboratory simulation of possible chemical conditions on the primitive Earth and demonstrated the spontaneous synthesis of organic compounds. o The mixture of gases Miller created probably did not accurately represent the atmosphere of the primitive Earth. o Spontaneous abiotic synthesis of organic compounds, possibly near volcanoes, may have been an early stage in the origin of life on Earth.
