Report
Please read carefully before you begin completing objectives!! Note that these slides are intended to facilitate the processes of notetaking and studying for quizzes/prelims but are not meant to serve as a substitute for reading assigned textbook sections, thorough notetaking, and active studying . Everyone has their own notetaking styles and tendencies. As you take notes, you may need to add slides and/or break up objectives to craft responses that adequately address the prompts. While I’ve added some figures as placeholders, you may find it helpful to delete some figures (or add extra slides) so that you can practice drawing out reactions and processes yourself. After completing your notes, we suggest you use a blank set of slides/objectives to test your ability to recall your answers to the prompts. While we encourage you to work with others as you take notes and study, our expectation is that each student will complete their own set of objectives . The design of this course relies on students taking the time to read the textbook and complete the objectives. Using another student’s set of notes without doing the readings and taking notes yourself will put you at a severe disadvantage for quizzes and prelims. Please keep in mind that our TAs and I are always happy to help you work through concepts as you take notes and study objectives! -Kevin

Note: The cellular concentration of most molecules is in the milli- or micro-molar range. We will therefore expect you to know the meaning of, and to be able to manipulate measurements with the following prefixes: nano (10 -9 , n) micro (10 -6 , m ) milli (10 -3 , m)

Part A Organic Chemistry Relevant to Biochemistry Assignment: Nelson & Cox, pp. 10 – 11, Fig. 1-14 (p. 12). Since organic chemistry is centrally relevant to biochemistry, we want everyone to be able to look at or write the structures of complex molecules with some understanding of the functional groups and types of bonds contained in them. This little review is a first step in that direction.
1. Write generalized structures for the functional groups shown in Fig 1-14 (p. 12) 1.A.1
2. Write an equation for each of the following: (in each case include an arrow showing a nucleophilic attack by an appropriate atom on a carbonyl carbon [or phosphoryl phosphate]. e.g . the formation of an ester from an acid and an alcohol [shown below]). a. The formation of an amide from an acid and ammonia 1.A.2. a

b. The formation of an acid anhydride from two molecules of acetic c. The hydrolysis of an ester. 1.A.2.b,c
Note: You do not need to worry about the catalysts or conditions necessary ( e.g. acidic vs basic) to make these equations on the previous slide practical in an organic chemistry laboratory because we will be dealing with enzymatic catalysis. We do want you to know, however, that an ester is made up of an acid and an alcohol, etc.
Part B pH and Buffers Assignment: Nelson & Cox, pp. 43 - 64 (skip pp. 51 - 53 section entitled "Concentrated solutes produce osmotic pressure").

Part C Amino Acids and Peptides Assignment: Nelson & Cox, pp. 70 - 81. roteins are the most abundant macromolecule in living cells. All proteins are polymers composed of a amino acids. Twenty different amino acids are encoded in genes and incorporated into proteins. Each of them has a carboxyl group and an amino group bonded to the same carbon atom (the a carbon). They differ from each other because they contain different side chains, or R groups, which vary in structure, size, electric charge, and solubility in water. The side chains give proteins their unique properties and allow proteins to form a great variety of structures with many different functions. rotein structure and function is the topic of the next four units. We begin with an introduction to amino acids and the covalent bonds that link them together into peptides and proteins.

1. Amino acids can be classified by their side chains (R groups; pp. 70 - 76). An understanding of the chemical properties of the standard amino acids is essential to an understanding of the structure of proteins. To simplify this task, amino acids are grouped into classes based on the properties of their R groups. a. Write the generalized structure for an amino acid (Fig. 3-2, p. 71). 1.C.1.a

c. Study the categories of amino acid side chains as outlined in Fig. 3-5 (p. 74). Given the name (or structure) of any amino acid, be able to name and draw the structure of the side chain functional group. Learn the one letter and three letter abbreviations (Table 3-1, p. 73). The one letter abbreviation is easier than it looks because of the sounds in the name (eg. D = "aspar d ic acid"). 1.C.1.c

Note: There are actually 22 amino acids introduced into proteins as they are synthesized: The twenty common amino acids are shown in Figure 3-5 (p. 74). Selenocysteine and pyrrolysine are less common and encoded by more complex genetic mechanisms. You are not responsible for knowing the structures or properties of pyrrolysine nor selenocysteine.

2. Amino Acids are Zwitterions (pp. 76 - 80) Amino acids exist most commonly, in neutral aqueous solutions, as zwitterions, in which the carboxyl group has lost a proton and the amino group has gained one. These ions are electrically neutral and remain stationary in an electric field (Fig. 3-9, p. 78). a. Given the acid RNH 3 + with pK = 9.0, draw the form which predominates at pH 7; at pH 11. 1.C.2.a

1.C.2.c If you have trouble with this objective, consider the following example of alanine with pK values of 2.34 (carboxyl group) and 9.69 (amino group). Think of this amino acid starting in fully protonated form at a low pH and being titrated with OH- to the fully unprotonated form. At a pH near 2.34, forms A and B predominate. If the pH is below 2.34, there will be more A than B. The ratio of the two can be calculated using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation with 2.34 for the pK. COOH C H 2 H N 3 + CH 3 - COO C H H N 3 + CH 3 - COO C H H N CH 3 50% A and 50% B at pH 2.34 A B C 50% B and 50% C at pH 9.69 At a pH which is closer to 9.69 than to 2.34, forms B and C will predominate and the higher pK value will be used to calculate their relative amounts. Calculate the ratio of the two forms of alanine at pH 3. Do the same for pH 9.

Note that if there are only two ionizable groups, the pI is simply the average. Determination of the pI of an amino acid with an ionizable side chain requires a more complex analysis (p. 80)? As you will learn in Unit 2, the term isoelectric point is also applied to proteins.
