Saturated Fatty Acids prefer use when?
-Storage
-When Temp Rises
Packs closer together
Unsaturated Fatty Acids prefer use when?
-NRG Production
-When Temp Decreases
Packs further apart
6 Types of Lipids
1)Triacylglycerols
2)Fatty Acids
3)Phospholipids
4)Glycolipids
5)Steroids
6)Terpenes
Sphinogolipid
When glycerol backbone in phospholipids has N at C2 position (SN2)
Glycolipids versus Phospholipids
Polar head group in phospholipids is a sugar in glycolipids
R/S Configuration of AA
S except Cysteine is R
T or F R groups involved in secondary structure
False, just H bonding
A disulfied bond is considered how many cysteines
1, even though 2
Heat as a denature agent?
Disrupts all forces
Salt and pH as denaturing agents?
Disrupt ion interactions (Na+ + Cl-, H+)
Organic solvents (C+H) as denaturing agents?
Disrupt hydrophobic interactions
Urea as denaturing agents?
Distrupts H-Bond, denature DNA=RNA
B-mercaptoethanol as a denaturing agent?
Distrupts di-sulfide bonds (reducing gels from proteins in lab)
2 Types of protein classes?
Structural and Gobular
Glycoprotiens
Proteins with some carbphydrateses in membrane
Proteoglycans
Greater than 50% carbs on protein in ECM
Cytochromes
Proteins with prosthetic heme groups –> Covalently attached in ETC
D for Carbs
OH on last chiral carbon is on the R (C6 (CH2OH) on top)
alpha carb ring
opposite side OH
L for Carbs
OH on last chiral carbon is on the L (C6 (CH2OH) on bottom)
beta carb ring
same side OH
Glycogen Branched 1-4
Connect horizontal
Glycogen Branched 1-6
Connect Verticle
Glycogen linkages
Alpha linkages with branching
