Exam 3

QuestionAnswer
Building Blocks of Life H C N O
H C N O make up what perent of all material in organisms 96%
Covalent Bond Unpaired e- are shared by each atom to fill their orbitals-very strong
Non polar covalent bond electrons are evenly shared bt 2 atoms
polar covalent bond one atom hols shared e- more thn other- assymetrically shared
hydrogen bonds bt h20 and other polar molevules or ions
ionic bond electrons are completely transfered form one atom to the other
cation pos charge -loose ee-
anion neg chage- gain e-
Water Life originated and based in/on water great solvent
why is water a great solvent h-o bonds in h20=polar covalent, partial + can react with partial - and can bond w/in it
acid base reac and pH proton doner-acid transfers proton to proton acceptor-base
endothermic reax absorb heat to proceed, heat h20 ex.boiling into steam
exothermic reac release heat ex. explosion
what is energy the ability to work or supply heat
types of energy potential->stored energy kinetic->energy of movement thermal->measured as temperature
First law of thermadynamics energy is conserves, not created.not destroyed, can be transgerred or transformed
molecules contain stored energy sugar molecule- high potential energy=>more order carbon dioxide(almost lowest) and h20-lower potential energy=> less order
temperature and concentration in chemical reaxtions cause... more reactant collisions and faster reaction rates
Breaking carbon-hydrogen bonds... releases energy
to form carbon hydrogen bonds energy must be added
Importance of Carbon 4 unpaired e-; can make 4 covalent bonds almost all molcules found in organisms contain a c-c bond; called organic molecule
carbon with funcitonal group contains contain H, N or O atoms bonded to carbon; gives organic compounds it specific behavior
Amino Attract Proton
Carbonyl linmk molecules into larger co mpounds
Carboxyl releases a proton
hydroxyl act as weak acids
phosphates have 2 neg charges
sulfhydryl link to others by disulfide bonds
amino acid structure all proteins are made form just 20 amino acid subunits all have: central C atom, H2N(amino functional group), COOH (carboxyl functional group), H(hydrogen atom), and a variable side chain(R)
Amino Acids Become Easily Ionized
Amino Group atracts a proton,, becomes a base so, in H2O-> amino and carboxyl group ionize to NH3+ Coo- helps amino acids stay in solution and makes them more reactive
Amino Acid Side Chain the 20 amino acids differ only in variable side chain, R-Groups, attached to central atom
R-groups differ in size, shape, reactivity, interactions wih water(key to protein reaction)
R-Groups can be non polar(not why will raec with H2O polar electrically charge(react w/ H2O very well)
Non Polar Amino Acids Side chains have no charge do not form hydrogen bonds with H2O hydrophobic-> tend to group together to avoid water
Polar Amino Acids chains can be polarized to give partial - or + carge can form hydrogen bonds with water hydrophillic
Electrically charged amino acids r side chains can be ionized to become acidic or basic can form ydrogen bonds with water hydrophillic
amino acid side chain chem reactivity those with mostly C and H rarely chemically reactive, behavior depends on r-group (size and shape) those with OH, NH2, COOH, or S are more chemically reactive
Isomers and types molecules with same molecular formula but different structures structural, geometric and optical
structural isomers same atoms but diff. order in which covalant bonds attach
geometric isomers same atoms but diff. arrangement of the atoms or groups on eitehr side of a double bond or ring structure(chain or ring structure)
optical isomers same atoms but diff. arrangement of atoms or groups around a carbon atom that has 4 diff. groups attached (mirror image)
Macromolecules Large molecules made up of smaller molecules joined together ( polymers)
Monomers polymerize into polymers
monomers small building blocks amino acids, sugars, nucleotides
polyers long molecules composed of small repeating subunits proteins, polysacchrisdes, nucleic acids(DNA RNA)
Amino Acids polymerize to form proteins
polymerization process of linking monomers to form polymers requires energy and is not spontaneous
how are polymers made monomers polymerize through condensation reactions a water molecule gain monomer monomers are removed from polymers by hydrolysis; releases a monomer
The Peptide Bond condensation reaction bonds -carboxyl group of one amino aid to the amino group of another to form a peptide bond. NOT THE R GROUP
Linking several amino acids together forms polypeptide
individual amino acids residues
A polypeptide Flexible has directionality: N-terminus has a free amino group, C- Terminus has a free carboxyl group side chains extend out from the backbone R-Group conform the enzymes
Oligo Peptides (or just peptides) less than 50 amino acids
Proteins More than 50 amino acids
Proteins Structures 4 levels of stucture Primary secondary tertiary quaaternary
Primary Structure Its unique sequencce of amino acids every protein has a unique seq. of amino acids there are 20^n dif polypeptides of a length of "n"
Different amino acids affect protein shape- how the amino r-group of a protein effect sie shape chemical activity and reactions with water just a single amino acid change can radically change the proteins function
Secondary Structure results from hydrogen bonding between carboxl oxygen of one amino acid to amino hydrogen of another residue (folds so dif parts can interact) hydrogen bonds are bt atoms in backbone-not the side chain polypeptide must bend to allow this hydrogen bonding
Shape of secondar structure forms an alpha-helix- backbone is coiles or beta pleated sheat, backbone bends at angles a proteins 2nd structure increase stability
Tertiary structure polypeptide 3D shape bue to RGroup causes polypeptide to bend and fold into precise shape
interactions in third structure hydrogen bond-bt rsidechaind and COOH, bt 2 r ionic -bt ionized amino and COOH rside vanderwaals interactions-weak hydrophobic interactions, nonpolar amino acids interact to avoid polar water covalent disulide- bt 2 sulfur atoms of cysteine amino acids
primary , secondary, and tertiary structures are reactions within an individual peptide: quaternary is between two ro more
quaternary structure interaction of 2 or more proteins subunits
how to proteins fold properly some fold naturally-ribonuclease others need help to fold correctly
denatured proteins an unfolded protein... unable to function normally
molecular chaperones proteins that interact and help other proteins fold correctly in cells
what do proteins do antibodies motor and contractile proteins for movement hormones and receptors structure transport molescules into and out of the cell enzyme
catalyst substance that increases the rate of a chem reax. without itself undergoing any permenent chemical change lowers activation energy of reaction does not chaing free energy not consumed in reation
enzymes protein catalysts speed up and control biological reactions most bio chem rex only occur in presence of enzyme
How do enzymes work bring substrates together in spec. position that faciliate reax (very specific (only in one reax) substrates bind to enzyme active sit interactions bt enzyme and substrate: stabalize transition stae and decrease activation energy
Induced Fit a conformational or shape change of an enzyme when the substrate binds to the active site
Enzymes active site active site rgroups interact w. substrate : Hbonging, temp. covalent bonding durign transfer os atoms, protom transefer through acidic or basic rgroups
enzyme action 3 steps initiation, transistion state facilitation, termination
initiation reactants bing to active site in specific orientation -specific orientation enhances interactions
transition state facilitation enzyme changes shape substrate binding induces formation of transition site interactions bt enzyme and substrate lower activation energy req. for the reax
termination the resulting reax products -low affinity for active site (dont fit) -released from enzyme -enzyme is unchanged after reax
Do enzymes act alone some act alone, some require cogfactors to function or coenzymes usually in active site, involved in transition state stabilization
enzyme regulation competitive inhibition -molecule similar in size and sape to substrate. conpetes with substrate for active site bonding
enzyme kinetics speed/rate of enzyme action -products produces/sex 1-@low substrate conc. rate product forms increased linearly for a given increase in substrate conc. 2-@high substrate conc. rate of product form levels out
effects of temperature on enzyme function affects movement too high-denature too slow- slows done enzyme reax and energy of substrate enzymes function best @ particular functions... works best @ about 40 C (human body temp 36 C)
effects of pH on enzyme function affects charge of rside chaines (caboxyl and amino groups no low if it normally is high, carchge will mean enzyme wont work.
What are Nucleic Acids polymer of nucleotides-ribonucleic acid (RNA) and Deozyribonucleic Acids( DNA)
Nucleotide basic component of nucleic acids phosphate group sugar (5 C ring structure) #ed clockwide
two types of sugars Ribose in Ribonucleotides and hydrocyl(OH) group on #2 carbon Deoxyribose in DNA be able to energyze
Purines Adenin and Guanine 2 rings found in DNA and RNA
Pyrimidines cystosine, uracil and thymine- one ring RNA contains cytosine and uracil.. DNNA contains cystosine and thymin
Nucleotide polymers form/nucleictides polymerize to produce nucleic acids
Nucleotides polymerize through condensation reax(rid water) nucleotide monomers joined by phosphodiester linkade bt OH on 3'C of one nucleotide and phosphate group on 5' C of another
Polymers of RNA the sugar phosphates create the backbone -has a direction(read from 5' to 3') made from ribonucleotides
how to nucleotides polymerize into nucleic acids activated nucleotides-free energy raised- energize by adding two extra phosphate groups/nucleotide phosphorylates nucleotides provide energy for polymerization reax (similar to ATP)
DNA two antiparallel DNA strange hydrophilic sugar-phosphate backbone facing exterior -neg charged phosphates on outside puring-pyrimidine pairs on interior (packer close together)
Base Pairing two dna strands have complimentary bp's G-C->3 hyrogen bonds A-T->weaker pair-2 Hbonds #purines=#pyrimidines double helix (primary structure is seq. of base, sec. struct. is 2 antiparallel strands)
Information containing molecule provides mechanism for DNA replication each strand serves as a template for a new complimentary strand forms template for its own synthessis
DNA synthesis break the hbonds bt bp's DNA can seperate each strande serve as template for new strand results in 2 strands provide for 2 new dna strands exact copies
RNA prim. struc. similar to DNA but Uracil instead of Thymine ribose instead of Deozyribose (O group on ribose makes RNA more reactive and less stable than DNA) sensitice to pH temp and reactive chem.
Primary structure of RNA nitrogeneous base sequence (5'-3')
Secondary structure of RNA due to complimentary AU and GC bp's can form hbonds w/ complimentary bases onsame strand bases bind compluimentary bases and form antiparallel RNA segment hairpins form spontaneously (hairpins and other RNA 2 structures can have more folds)
