    Study Notes

    Protein Structure and Components

    • Primary structure of proteins refers to the unique sequence of amino acids.
    • Alpha helix structure features hydrogen bonding that stabilizes its shape.
    • Disulfide bonds form between cysteine residues, contributing to protein stability.
    • Hemoglobin functions as an oxygen carrier, comprising four polypeptide chains and heme groups.

    Amino Acids and Their Properties

    • Imidazole group and aromatic ring are found in histidine.
    • Glycine is the only amino acid that is not optically active due to having two identical hydrogen atoms.
    • Secondary structure of proteins is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between backbones of amino acids.
    • Proline reacts with ninhydrin to yield a characteristic yellow color, as it has a unique cyclic structure.

    Vitamin Synthesis and Function

    • Sunlight is required to synthesize vitamin D, which is crucial for calcium metabolism.
    • Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting.
    • Sources of vitamin C include citrus fruits, strawberries, and green vegetables.
    • Vitamin A is scientifically known as retinol and is found in foods like carrots and liver.

    Hormones and Proteins

    • Steroid hormones are lipid-soluble and regulate various physiological processes by binding to specific receptors.
    • Cholesterol serves as the building block for steroid hormones.
    • Non-essential amino acids can be synthesized by the body, while essential amino acids must be obtained through the diet.

    Protein Classification

    • Ketogenic amino acids, such as leucine and lysine, can be converted into ketone bodies.
    • Simple proteins lack complex structures and are made up of only amino acids.
    • Partially incomplete proteins do not provide all essential amino acids in sufficient amounts.

    Chemistry of Amino Acids

    • Zwitter ions are dipolar ions that have both positive and negative charges but are overall electrically neutral.
    • Isoelectric pH is the point at which an amino acid has no net charge, influencing solubility and migration in electric fields.

    Carbohydrates and Fatty Acids

    • Examples of homopolysaccharides include starch and cellulose, made up of repeating units of the same monosaccharide.
    • Glucose is a keto sugar, while fructose serves as an example of a hexose sugar.
    • Fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxylic acid group, vital for lipid formation.
    • Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates, consisting of single sugar units.
