Study Notes
Biochemistry Lecture 1: Functional Groups
- Functional groups are covalently bonded sets of atoms
- These groups give molecules specific physical and chemical properties
- Knowing the functional group helps identify the atoms in a molecule
Learning Styles
- Visual learners learn best by seeing information
- Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing
- Auditory learners learn best by hearing information
- Students should tailor their note-taking to their learning style
- Review notes daily
- Review again in 2-3 days
- Review prior to the next lecture
Biochemistry Definition
- Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes in living organisms
- It takes knowledge gained from chemistry and applies it to biological systems
- It looks at fundamental processes in biology
Importance of Biochemistry in Medicine
- Biochemistry is crucial for advancements in the field of medicine
- It reveals the biochemical changes that take place in the body during disease or infections
Level of Understanding in BIOM201
- Basic level covers the chemistry of main molecules (proteins, fats, carbohydrates) of life
- Intermediate level focuses on main biochemical reactions in human cells
- Advanced level explores the impact of drugs on the respiratory chain
Cell Composition
- Cells consist of peptides, proteins, sugars, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), and metabolites
- Carbon is the most common element in the major macromolecules of a cell
Human Body Composition
- Water comprises 62% of the human body
- Proteins make up 16%
- Other elements present in differing amounts
Hydrocarbons
- Hydrocarbons are organic molecules made up of only hydrogen and carbon atoms.
- Organic molecules (fats) commonly contain hydrocarbons
- Hydrocarbons are important because they undergo reactions that produce, or release a lot of energy.
Hydrocarbon Classification
- Hydrocarbons can be classified into aliphatic and aromatic categories.
- Aliphatic hydrocarbons include alkanes, alkenes, alkynes
- Aromatic hydrocarbons have a ring structure, like benzene
Alkane Structure Comparison
- Alkanes contain only single bonds.
- Saturated hydrocarbons have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms
- Unsaturated hydrocarbons have double or triple bonds, leading to fewer hydrogen atoms in their carbon chains
IUPAC Nomenclature
- The IUPAC system ensures unique and unambiguous names for organic compounds, including hydrocarbons
- Rules are used to name organic compounds as a means of providing a standardized system
- Prefixes are used to indicate the number of carbons, with specific suffixes to indicate the type of hydrocarbon
Aldehyde Structure and Nomenclature
- Aldehydes contain a carbonyl group (C=O) and a hydrogen (connected to it)
- The general formula is RCHO
- The carbonyl carbon is the "carbonyl center"
- The naming of aldehydes follows the IUPAC system
Aldehyde Reactions
- Aldehydes are reactive chemicals and are toxic to the body
- Aldehydes are used in synthetic resins and dyes and many other chemicals
- Aldehydes are also used as disinfectants and preservatives
Ketone Structure and Nomenclature
- Ketones contain a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two other carbon atoms
- The general formula is RCOR'
- The naming of ketones follows the IUPAC system
Ketone Reactions
- High levels of ketones in the blood or urine may indicate that a developing diabetic ketoacidosis is likely, and this is a life-threatening condition
- Ketones may also indicate that the body needs more insulin
Alcohol Structure and Properties
- An alcohol is an organic compound that contains a hydroxyl group (-OH) bonded to a carbon atom
- Alcohols have the general formula ROH
- Hydroxyl groups are polar and can exhibit hydrogen bonding properties
Medically Important Alcohols
- Methanol is used in pharmaceutical manufacture but causes blindness and death upon ingestion
- Ethanol can be used as a disinfectant and sterilizer
- Ethylene glycol is used as anti-freeze
- Glycerol is used in various products because of its viscosity
Phenols
- Phenols are characterized by a hydroxyl group attached to a benzene ring
- Simple phenols can dissolve in water
- Phenols have a role in flavorings and fragrances
Phenol Reactions
- Phenols can be used as a standard reference and disinfectants
- However they can cause chemical burns
Reactions of Alcohols
- Alcohols can undergo dehydration, reduction, and oxidation
- The products of these reactions often include alkane, aldehydes, ketones, acids, and esters
Summary of Alcohol Redox
- Oxidations involve a loss of hydrogen and gain of oxygen
- Reduction involves a gain of hydrogen and loss of oxygen
- Alcohols can be oxidized to form aldehydes, ketones, or acids depending on the specific reaction
Carboxylic Acids
- Carboxylic acids have a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to a hydroxyl group (—OH)
- The general formula is RCOOH
- Carboxyl acids are important in a lot of biological and chemical processes
Carboxyl Acid-Base Reactions
- Carboxylic acids behave as acids, releasing hydrogen ions in solutions
- They react with strong bases to produce carboxylate salts and water
- They are also widely used in medicine
Carboxylic Acid Reactions in Medicine
- Aspirin treats pain and reduces fever
- Carboxylic acids can be used as diet supplements
Esters
- Esters are formed from an alcohol and carboxylic acid, through esterification reactions
- Esters contain a carbonyl group (C=O), which is bonded to an oxygen
- The general formula for esters is RCOOR'
Ester Reactions
- Esterification = a reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid.
- Hydrolysiis reactions break down ester compounds, separating them back into their original alcohol and carboxylic acid.
Amides
- Amides form through reactions between amines and carboxylic acids
- The amide functional group is found frequently in natural molecules like proteins
- They may contain hydroxyl or hydrogen atoms attached
Amide Hydrolysis
- Amide bonds are broken apart by hydrolysis, a process that involves water .
- Hydrolysis may involve strong acids or bases
Summary of Functional Groups
- Aldehydes: At least one hydrogen atom
- Ketones: Two carbon groups attached (no hydrogen)
- Carboxylic acids: Hydroxyl group attached to the carbonyl carbon
- Esters: Contain oxygen attached to the carbonyl carbon
- Alcohols: Hydroxyl group directly bound to a carbon
- Ethers: Oxygen atom bonded to two alkyl or aryl groups
- Amines: Nitrogen attached to one or more alkyl or aryl
- Thiols: Sulphur equivalent to alcohol
