Study Notes
Amino Acids
- Twenty amino acids are commonly found in proteins.
- The amino acids can be classified based on the charge and polarity of their side chains.
- Each amino acid has a three-letter abbreviation and a one-letter symbol.
- The one-letter symbols are determined by:
- Unique first letter
- Most commonly occurring amino acids have priority
- Similar sounding names
Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation
- This equation describes the relationship between the pH of a solution and the concentration of a weak acid and its conjugate base.
- The dissociation constant of an acid (Ka) is defined as the ratio of the product of the concentrations of hydrogen ions and the conjugate base to the concentration of the acid.
- The stronger the acid, the larger the Ka.
Concepts
- Concepts are perceived regularities in events or objects, including abstractions (for example, free energy), processes (for example, oxidative phosphorylation), and compounds (for example, glucose 6-phosphate).
- Concept boxes are prioritized with the central idea positioned at the top of the page.
- The size of the type indicates the relative importance of each idea.
- Lines are drawn between concept boxes to show which are related.
- The label on the line defines the relationship between two concepts, so that it reads as a valid statement, that is, the connection creates meaning.
- The lines with arrowheads indicate in which direction the connection should be read.
