N.S. 100 Lecture 3 – Biochemistry is broken up into 3 parts – this is part 3c 63 As in lard As in some plant oils 64 Omega 3 Fatty Acids Healthiest of all Fight blood clots Reduce fat levels in the blood Reduce fatty deposits in arteries Found in: Certain fatty fish (salmon, albacore, lake trout, sardines) Lesser amounts in walnuts & soy based products Margarine stick Butter Margarine soft 65 66 http://biology.clc.uc.edu/graphics/bio104/cistrans.jpg Trans Fats are most unhealthy of all fats Why are trans fats bad? Bubbling hydrogen 67 (hydrogenation) through unsaturated fats (good ones) changes the orientation of the hydrogens from “cis” to “trans” and causes oils to turn solid 1. Raise LDL levels 2. Lower HDL levels 3. Raise fat levels in blood 4. Prevent blood vessels from opening up Trans Foods: Foods that say “partially hydrogenated” or “hydrogenated”. 68 Ingredients Liquid Canola Oil, Water, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Plant Stanol Esters, Salt, Emulsifiers, (Vegetable Mono- and Diglycerides, Soy Lecithin), Hydrogentated Soybean Oil, Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid and Calcium Disodium EDTA to Preserve Freshness, Artificial Flavor, DL-alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate, Vitamin A Palmitate, Colored with Beta Carotene. Normal blood flow through artery 69 http://www.ppsinc.org/images/cholplaque.jpg 70 Food & Genetics are sources of cholesterol cholesterol Liver degrades HDL Cholesterol Excess LDL Cholesterol forms fat artery deposit Liver degrades some LDL cholesterol 71 72 Anabolic (growth) steroid (lipids) causes tissue to grow 73 Biologically Important Organic Molecules Hydrocarbons – Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H) Carbohydrates – C, H, Oxygen (O) Proteins – C, H, O, Nitrogen (N), Sulfur(S) Lipids – C, H, O Nucleic Acids – C, H, O, N, Phosphorous (P) DNA from a lysed bacterial cell 75 76 The DNA double helix Two strands of nucleic acid (polymers) Most famous photo in biology DNA discovery in 1953 is a Milestone in Biology and Medicine Watson and Crick 77 Wilkins Franklin Pauling DNA double helix Double Helix is the polymer Nucleotide is the monomer 78 Electron micrograph of DNA 1,000,000 times 79 Human cells have about 3 yards of DNA in each of the 2 trillion cells in a human body 80 Year 2000 “The U.S. Human Genome Project coordinated by the DOE and NIH, is a multi-year effort to find all the genes on every chromosome in the human body and to determine their biochemical nature” •Craig Venter (head of Celera Genomics -left), •President Clinton •Francis Collins (director, NIH National Human Genome Research Institute). 81 82 “Science hurts my head” 83 REVIEW Polymer Polypeptide (Protein) Polysaccharide (Starch) Lipid, Fats Nucleic Acid (DNA) Monomer Amino acids Monosaccharide (glucose) Fatty Acids and Glycerol Nucleotide substrate 84 Active site Protein Enzymes are (special) proteins with active sites. Active site attracts substrate(s) 85 Active site Substrate Enzyme Enzyme is used over and over again 86 Some enzymes catalyze 600,000 reactions per second in one active site Humans make 35,000 chemical products 87 Humans have 35,000 enzymes 88 Enzyme makes sure that A and B unite in correct way 89 A B No product formed A = substrate B = substrate C = product B A B A A B enzyme C A and B can only go together one way to form product 90 Enzymes - Two important functions: 1. Lower the energy of activation for chemical reactions (less heat needed). 2. Channel chemical reactions along certain specific pathways. Enzymes lower the energy of activation of chemical reactions ……………… or they decrease the heat needed for a chemical reaction. 91 Enzymes channel chemical reactions along certain specific pathways. 92 Temperature influences enzyme reaction rate Enzyme reaction rate Temperature 93 94 Enzyme to make dark fur is destroyed by warmth of mother Baby’s white fur blends with ice for protection 95 Polymers) in food must be digested to monomers before they can be used Proteins digested into monomers (amino acids) Digestive enzyme Digestive tract enzymes Carbohydrates digested into monomers (monosaccharides) Lipids digested into monomers (fatty acids and glycerol) Bile emulsifies lipids (polymers), like soap does to grease on a plate Monomers of amino acids Lipid polymers Peptidase 96 Protein polymers Lipase Amylase Monomers of Glycerol and fatty acids Monomers of monosaccharides or sugars Enzymes: amylase pepsin lipase Intestinal wall lined with cells Blood vessel Large food polymer too big to be absorbed 97 Dimers too big to be absorbed Monomers are small enough to be absorbed Do I need Enzymes?
