Study Notes
Disaccharide Formation
- In disaccharide formation, the nucleophile is the hydroxyl group of one monosaccharide.
- The electrophile is the anomeric carbon of the other monosaccharide.
- The leaving group is the hydroxyl group that was initially attached to the anomeric carbon.
Characteristics of Electrophiles
- An electrophile is considered "electron deficient" due to a partially positive charge or a lack of electrons.
DNA Formation
- In DNA formation, the nucleophile is the 3'-hydroxyl group of one nucleotide.
- The electrophile is the 5'-phosphate group of the other nucleotide.
Triglyceride Formation
- The nucleophile is the hydroxyl group of glycerol, and the electrophile is the acyl group of the fatty acid.
Lipid Hydrolysis
- The reaction depicted in lipid hydrolysis is a hydrolysis reaction.
- The enzyme class involved in lipid hydrolysis is hydrolases.
- The specific enzyme involved in lipid hydrolysis is lipase.
Amylase Hydrolysis
- The reaction depicted in amylase hydrolysis is a hydrolysis reaction.
- The enzyme class involved in amylase hydrolysis is hydrolases.
- The specific enzyme involved in amylase hydrolysis is amylase.
Physiological Process
- The physiological process that uses lipid hydrolysis, amylase hydrolysis, and peptide bond cleavage is digestion.
Enzyme Classification
- Enzymes are classified into different classes based on their functions.
- The enzyme class that catalyzes redox reactions is oxidoreductases.
- The term "redox" in the context of enzymes refers to oxidation-reduction reactions.
- A redox reaction is defined as a reaction involving the transfer of one or more electrons.
