Biochemistry: Chemistry of living things
Carbon Compounds and Biomolecules -Most of the compounds that make up your body contain carbon. -Carbon containing compounds are often called “organic” compounds. A trans-fatty acid
Carbon: The backbone of life • Living organisms are made up mostly of molecules based on carbon. • Thus the term “carbon-based life forms”.
Carbon: The backbone of life • Americans, on average, consume 140 lbs of sugar per year, much of it in the form of fructose (High Fructose Corn Syrup) Fructose, a hexose sugar
Carbon: The backbone of life • Cellulose, found in plant cell walls, is the most abundant organic compound on Earth
Carbon bonding • Carbon is unparalleled in its ability to form large, complex molecules • The small atomic size of carbon makes the bonds very strong (notice the close proximity of the electrons to the protons)
Functional Groups • In organic compounds, clusters of atoms called functional groups influence how the molecule acts. • The chemical reactions that a molecule can undergo are dictated by the functional groups it contains. • There are 5 major functional groups that you need to know:
1. Hydroxyl Group: • OH group • The oxygen is bonded to the carbon skeleton of the molecule • Functional properties include: • Makes the compound an alcohol • (General formula of an alcohol is R-OH) • Is polar (can dissolve in water) • Can help dissolve organic compounds such as sugars OH Ethanol, found in alcoholic beverages Vodka is an alcoholic drink that originated in Poland
2. Carboxyl Group • COOH group • Found in Carboxylic acids (organic acids) • Funct. Props. Include: • Has acidic properties because it can donate its hydrogen atom. Structure of a typical amino acid
3. Phosphate Group: • The phosphate group is also utilized to produce ALL cellular energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate; or A.T.P.
4. Methyl Group: • CH3 group • Consists of a carbon atom bonded to three Hydrogen atoms • Funct. Props. Include • Non-reactive, but often acts as a “tag” on biological molecules • Affects the expression of genes in DNA • Affects the shape and function of male and female sex (steroid) hormones
Estrogen Methyl Group One extra methyl group makes the man “manly”! (Coded for by SRY gene) Testosterone
Both estrogen & testosterone are synthesized from cholesterol!
5. Amino Group • NH2 group • Makes compounds into amines • Found in all amino acids • Funct. Props. Include: • Is polar (acts as a base) and can dissolve in aqueous solutions
Carbon: The backbone of life • Proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids comprise the four classes of organic molecules. • Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O), Nitrogen (N), Sulphur (S), and Phosphorus (P) are common ingredients in carbon-based biomolecules.
Proteins • Proteins are the structural building blocks of organisms. • A protein is a large molecule made up of smaller building blocks called amino acids. • There are 20 different essential amino acids needed to build the proteins necessary for life.
Amino Acids 1 • The 5 parts of an amino acid are: • Central carbon (alpha carbon) bonded to 4 groups • Amino group • Carboxyl group • Hydrogen atom • Side chain [R], which gives each amino acid its own particular characteristics. 4 2 3 5 Copy this drawing & identify the 5 major structural components.

Dehydration Synthesis • Dehydration Synthesis is also used to link amino acids together to form proteins. (similar to how complex carbs are formed)
Linking Amino Acids Cells link amino acids together to make proteins The process is called “dehydration synthesis” Dehydration Synthesis Peptide bonds form to hold the amino acids together Peptide Bond
Proteins • Proteins are responsible for virtually all the structures of your body. • Hemoglobin carries oxygen in your blood. • Melanin shields your skin from devastating U.V. rays. • Myosin & Actin proteins make up your muscles. • Collagen allows your skin to be elastic. • Keratin helps keep your skin, hair, and nails waterproof.
Protein folding determines function; which is determined by a.a. order. • Protein function is determined by 3-D shape • Enzymes • Shape is determined by folding • Folding is determined by what order the a.a. arrangement is in
Protein Denaturation • Sometimes a chemical can interact with a protein to break it down. • This is called protein “denaturation” • Notes • Red Nose • Cognitive impairment • Organ damage (liver)
