  1. Discussion #5: Life’s informational polymers

  2. Central Dogma

  3. What are proteins? What are proteins? • Proteins are polymers of amino acids

  4. General structure of amino acids

  5. R-groups fall into 3 major types • Charged, polar • Uncharged, polar • Hydrophobic, nonpolar

  6. How do amino acids link together to form proteins?

  7. Peptidebonds form between amino acids via a condensation reaction H2O

  8. Whatarenucleic acids? • Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides • Nucleic acids consists of DNA or RNA

  9. Nucleotide Structure What type of sugar is this? How do we know?

  10. Phosphodiesterbonds form between nucleotides via a condensation reaction

  11. Nitrogenous Bases • Ways to remember • PurinePurina is for animals and we are the AGgies • Adenine • Guanine • PyrimidinesCUT the Pye • Cytosine • Uracil (RNA only) • Thymine (DNA only)
