What is biochemistry?
• Biochemistry is the chemistry of living organisms• It seeks to describe the structure, organization, and
functions of living matter in molecular terms
![Page 10: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Understanding life
• Know the chemical structures of biological molecules• Understand the biological function of these
molecules• Understand interaction and organization of different
molecules within individual cells and whole biological systems
• Understand bioenergetics (the study of energy flow in cells)
![Page 11: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Biochemistry and medicine
• diagnose and monitor diseases• design drugs (new antibiotics, chemotherapy agents)• understand the molecular bases of diseases
![Page 12: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The chemical elements
![Page 13: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Chemical elements in living creatures
• Living organisms on Earth are composed mainly of 31 elements
![Page 14: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Abundant elements
• Four primary elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen– 96.5% of an organism's weight
• The second groups includes sulfur and phosphorus
• Most biological compounds are made of only SIX elements: C, H, O, N, P, S
![Page 16: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Others…
• Minor, but essential, elements– Mostly metals
![Page 17: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Dalton
• The atomic weight of an atom, or the molecular weight of a molecule, is its mass relative to that of a hydrogen atom– Specified in Daltons• One Dalton equals to the mass of a hydrogen atom
![Page 18: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CHEMICAL BONDS
![Page 19: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Types of chemical bonds
• There are two types of chemical bonds between atoms: – an ionic bond is formed when electrons are donated
by one atom to another (example: NaCl)– a covalent bond is formed when two atoms share a
pair of electrons
![Page 20: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Important properties of bonds
• Bond strength (amount of energy that must be supplied to break a bond)
• Bond length: the distance between two nuclei• Bond orientation: bond angles determining the
overall geometry of atoms
The three-dimensional structures of molecules are specified by the bond angles and bond lengths for
each covalent linkage
![Page 22: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
COVALENT BONDS
![Page 23: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
![Page 24: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Properties of covalent bonds
• Bond strength: The strongest bonds• Bond length: variable• Bond orientation: specific bond angles determining
the overall geometry of atoms
The three-dimensional structures of molecules are specified by the bond angles and bond lengths for
each covalent linkage
![Page 25: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Single and double bonds
• Most are single bonds• Some are double bonds
![Page 26: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Single vs. double bonds
• O, N, S, P, and C atom allow double bonds
• Double bonds are shorter and stronger
• A single covalent bond allows rotation of a molecule
![Page 27: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Polarity of covalent bonds
• Covalent bonds in which the electrons are shared unequally in this way are known as polar covalent bonds
![Page 28: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Examples
• Oxygen and hydrogen• Nitrogen and hydrogen• Not carbon and hydrogen• Oxygen and nitrogen atoms are
electronegative• Water is an excellent example
of polar molecules
![Page 29: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
NON-COVALENT INTERACTIONS
![Page 30: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What are they?
• Reversible and relatively weak• Electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonds, and van
der Waals interactions
![Page 31: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Electrostatic interactions(charge-charge interactions)• Formed between two charged particles• These forces are quite strong in the absence of water
![Page 32: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Hydrogen bonds
• The hydrogen atom in a hydrogen bond is partly shared between two relatively electronegative atoms
![Page 33: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Donor and acceptor
![Page 34: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
van der Waals interactions
• The distribution of electronic charge around an atom changes with time
• The strength of the attraction is affected by distance
![Page 35: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Hydrophobic interactions
• Not true bonds
![Page 36: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
CARBON
![Page 37: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Why is carbon important?
• It can form single, double, or triple bonds • Different geometries
– Rotation• Stable• Internediate electronegativity
– Hydrophilic vs. hydrophobinc• Chains and rings
– backbone• Versatile three-dimensional structure
![Page 38: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
WATER
![Page 39: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Polarity of water
• Water accounts for about 70% of a cell's weight
• In the water molecule, oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen; therefore, the oxygen side of the molecule has a negative charge and the other side has a positive charge
![Page 40: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Hydrogen bonds
• Each water molecule can form hydrogen bonds through its two H atoms to two other water molecules, producing a network
![Page 41: Biochemistry Slides 1](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042502/544b0aa4af7959a4438b4dc6/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Properties of water
• Polar molecule– Bent, not linear, the charge distribution is asymmetric
• An excellent solvent– It weakens electrostatic forces and hydrogen bonding – Small size
• Highly cohesive– Networks of hydrogen bonds
• Reactive– Nucleophile
• Ionization
