Study Notes
Carbohydrates
- General formula of carbohydrates
- Glycosidic linkages between pairs of monosaccharides form disaccharides
- Monosaccharide conversion to an amino sugar involves several reactions
Lipids
- Types of fatty acids: essential fatty acids and others
- Not all lipids have a "head and two tails" structure
- Steroid lipids have a specific structure with four fused rings
Proteins and Enzymes
- α-Amino acid structure
- Primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of proteins
- Protein denaturation disrupts secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures
- Enzyme classifications and functions, including coenzymes and specificity
Nucleic Acids and Protein Synthesis
- DNA structure: double helix, sugar-phosphate backbone, nitrogenous bases (A, C, G, T)
- RNA structure: single-stranded, sugar-phosphate backbone, nitrogenous bases (A, C, G, U)
- Transcription: DNA to mRNA, involving initiation, elongation, and termination steps
- Translation: mRNA to amino acid sequence, involving initiation, elongation, and termination steps
- Genetic Code: translating DNA sequences into mRNA and amino acid sequences
Metabolism
