glycosidic reactions
Definition
hemiacetal mono.s react with alcohol under acidic conditions, hydroxyl group transformed into an alkoxy group resulting in bond called glycosidic linkage (acetal is glycoside, which do not rotate and are stable in water)
Term
dissacharides
Definition
when a mono reacts with an alcohol that is another mono

most common glycosidic linkage occurs between C-1 and C-4 , a 1,4'-link

also observe 1,2' and 1,6' bonds

links can be cleaved in presence of aqueous acid
Term
key biological polysaccarides
Definition
cellulose (1,4' beta)

starch and glycogen (mostly 1,4' alpha, some 1,6' alpha)
Term
cellulose vs. starch and glycogen
Definition
structural component of plants

stores energy in plants and animals(respectively)
Term
all amino acids are chiral except for..
Definition
glycine (2 H on central carbon)
Term
zwitterions
Definition
dipolar ions, zwitter=hybrid in German
Term
in acidic solution, amino acids are...
Definition
fully protonated, two protons that can dissociate(one from carboxyl and one from amino)
Term
in basic solution, amino acids are...
Definition
deprotonated, two proton-accepting groups
Term
amino acids:
low pH vs high pH
intermediate pH?
Definition
low: carries excess positive charge
high: carries excess negative charge

inter: electrically neutral, pI (isoelectric point) exists as zwitterion
Term
titration of amino acid with base
Definition
first, carboxyl group is deprotonated then the amino group
Term
amino acids pass through ? buffering stage, one at each ?
Definition
two, pKa
Term
four things to note about titration of amino acids:
Definition
adding base, carboxyl group is fully deprotonated before amino group loses its acidic proton

two moles of base must be added to deprotonate one mole of amino acids

buffering capacity is greatest at or near two dissociation constants (at pI, capacity is minimal)

possible to perform titration in reverse, with addition of acid (sequence of events is also reversed)
Term
ratio of amino acids ions are dependent on...
Definition
pH
Term
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation
Definition
defines relationship between pH and ration of conjugate acid to conjugate base

pH=pKa+log[conj base]/[conj acid]
Term
amino acids:
best buffering capacity occurs within...
Definition
one pH unit of the pKa
Term
classification of amino acids accoring to side chains
Definition
nonpolar, polar, acidic, or basic
Term
nonpolar amino acid
Definition
R-groups that are saturated hydrocarbons

hydrophobic, decrease solubility of amino acid in water

often found at core of globular proteins that are in contact with hydrophobic region of phospholipid membrane
Term
polar amino acid
Definition
polar, uncharged R-groups

hydrophilic, increase solubility in water

found on protein surfaces, exposed to aqueous polar environment
Term
acidic amino acids
Definition
R-groups contain carboxyl group

net negative charge at physiological pH
(pH 7.4), with three distinct pKa's

shifts pI and titration curve, three moles of base needed to deprotonate
Term
basic amino acids
Definition
R-groups contain an amino group

carry net positive charge at physiological pH

three dissociation constants, which shifts titration curve and pI towards alkaline pH, three moles needed to neutralize
Term
use pI to predict amino acid charge at a given pH
Definition
if pHpI, think negative charge
Term
reactions of peptides
Definition
amino acids joined by peptide bonds between carboxyl group of one amino acid and amino group of the other

bond formed via condensation reaction

bond cleaved by hydrolysis (catalyzed by acid or base)
Term
properties of peptides
Definition
terminal residues:
free-alpha amino=amino-terminal or N-terminal (left)

free carboxyl group=carboxyl-terminal or C-terminal (right)

rotaion limited around peptide bond because resonance gives C-N partial double bond character
Term
proteins
Definition
can be a few to a thousand amino acids in length

functions:enzymes, hormones, membrane pores, receptors, and elements of cell structure
Term
four structural levels of proteins
Definition
primary(sequence of amino acids)
secondary(α-helix and β-pleated sheet, governed by H-bond interactions within and between peptide chains)
tertiary(3-D shape of the protein, determined by hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions)
quarternary(arrangement of polypeptide subunits to yeild a functional protein molecule)
Term
denaturation of proteins
Definition
loses their 3-D structure and revert to random-coil state

caused by detergent, change in pH, temp, or solute concentration

permanent damage, but can be renatured with removal of reagent (maybe)
Term
treatment of phenols with oxidizing reagents produces...
Definition
quinones(2,5-cyclohexadienes-1,4-diones)
Term
three steps of halogenation
Definition
initiation--formation of free radicals, extremely reactive and readily attack alkanes
X2+(heat or light)--->2X(with an unpaired e-)
propogation--radical produces another radical, reacts with an alkane to form HX and alkyl radical, then alkyl radical reacts with X2 to form alkyl halide and X(with unpaired e-)
X(unpaired e-) + RH --> HX + R(unpaired e-)
R(un e-) +X2 --> RX + X(un e-)
termination--two free radicals combine with one another to form stable molecule
2X(un e-) --> X2
X(un e-) + R(un e-) --> RX
2R(un e-) --> R2
