Carbon Atom
Carbon atoms:
Contain a total of 6 electrons
Only four electrons in the outer shell
Very diverse as one atom can bond with up to
four other atoms
Often bonds with other carbon atoms to make
hydrocarbons
Can produce long carbon chains like octane
Can produce ring forms like cyclohexane

Functional Groups and Isomers
Functional groups:
Specific combinations of bonded atoms
Attached as a group to other molecules
Always react in the same manner, regardless of
where attached

Steroids membrane; hormones Medicines
Functions
Support – Collagen
Enzymes – Almost all enzymes are proteins
Transport – Hemoglobin; membrane proteins
Defense – Antibodies
Hormones – Many hormones; insulin

The Amino Acids
Proteins are polymers of amino acids
Each amino acid has a central carbon atom
(the alpha carbon) to which are attached
a hydrogen atom,
an amino group –NH2,
A carboxylic acid group –COOH,
and one of 20 different types of –R
(remainder) groups
There are 20 different amino acids that make
up proteins
All of them have basically the same structure
except for what occurs at the placeholder R

The Polypeptide Backbone
Amino acids joined together end-to-end
COOH of one AA covalently bonds to the NH2
of the next AA
Special name for this bond - Peptide Bond
Two AAs bonded together – Dipeptide
Three AAs bonded together – Tripeptide
Many AAs bonded together – Polypeptide
Characteristics of a protein determined by
composition and sequence of AA’s
Virtually unlimited number of proteins

Levels of Structure
Primary:
Literally, the sequence of amino acids
A string of beads (up to 20 different colors)
Secondary:
The way the amino acid chain coils or folds
Describing the way a knot is tied
Tertiary:
Overall three-dimensional shape of a polypeptide
Describing what a knot looks like from the outside
Quaternary:
Consists of more than one polypeptide
Like several completed knots glued together

Protein-folding Diseases
Polymers of nucleotides
Very specific cell functions
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
Double-stranded helical spiral (twisted ladder)
Serves as genetic information center
In chromosomes
RNA (ribonucleic acid)
Part single-stranded, part double-stranded
Serves primarily in assembly of proteins
In nucleus and cytoplasm of cell

Nucleic Acids
Three components:
A phosphate group,
A pentose sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), and
A nitrogenous base (4 kinds in DNA, 3 kinds in
RNA, 3 common to both
Nucleotide subunits connected end-to-end to
make nucleic acid
