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
- Determine activity and polarity of large organic
molecules
Many functional groups, but only a few are of
major biological importance

Dehydration and Hydrolysis
Dehydration (condensation) - Removal of
water molecule
Connects monomers together to make
polymers
Glucose monomers condense to make starch
Hydrolysis - Addition of water molecule
Disassembles polymers into monomer parts
Digestion of starch into glucose monomers
Specific enzymes required for each reaction
Accelerate reaction
Are not used in the reaction

Two fatty acids attached instead of three
Third fatty acid replaced by phosphate group
- The fatty acids are nonpolar and hydrophobic
- The phosphate group is polar and hydrophilic
Molecules self arrange when placed in water
Polar phosphate “heads” next to water
Nonpolar fatty acid “tails” overlap and
exclude water
Spontaneously form double layer & a sphere

Protein Subunits:
The Amino Acids
Proteins are polymers of amino acids
Each amino acid has a central carbon atom 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

Amino acids joined together end-to-end

of the next AA
 Special name for this bond - Peptide Bond

- Three AAs bonded together – Tripeptide
- Many AAs bonded together – Polypeptide

composition and sequence of AA’s

Protein-folding Diseases
Assembly of AA’s into protein extremely
complex
Process overseen by “chaperone” molecules
 Inhibit incorrect interactions between R
groups as polypeptide grows
 Defects in these chaperones can corrupt the
tertiary structure of proteins
 Mad cow disease could be due to mis-folded
proteins
