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
Unit 1: Amino Acid Chemistry Objectives BIOMG 3300
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
