Biochemistry = describes the structures, mechanisms, and chemical processes shared by all organisms Biochemistry Chemistry → Biology Learning Objectives of the Course Basic foundations : Chemistry, Physics, Energy, Water Amino acids, Peptides, and Proteins Carbohydrates Nucleotides and Nucleic Acids Fatty acids Glycolysis Electron transfer chain ETC  Learning Objectives –Chapter Chemical Foundations Protein Macromolecules Lipid Molecules 3D structure - Configuration and Conformation: Stereo isomers, Cis-Trans isomers Chiral and Chiral Molecules Enantiomers and Diastereomers Physical Foundations Open, Closed system and Universe Energy Transformation in Living Organisms Extracting Energy Oxidation-Reduction reactions Entropy Enthalpy ∆ G = ∆ H- TdS Exergonic and Endergonic Reaction Keq and Q ∆ G0 ∆ G0 = -RT ln(Keq) at equilibrium. Catabolism and Anabolism 1.2 Chemical Foundations Elements Essential to Animal Life and Health Biomolecules Are Compounds of Carbon with a Variety of Functional Groups carbon can form covalent single, double, and triple bonds  Geometry of Carbon Bonding carbon atoms have a characteristic tetrahedral arrangement of their four single bonds free rotation around each single bond limited rotation about the axis of a double bond Common Functional Groups of Biomolecules Additional Functional Groups  Question Important functional groups in biomolecules include: A. lipids. B. thioesters. C. nucleic acids. D. carbons.  Question, Response Important functional groups in biomolecules include: B. thioesters. Functional groups confer specific chemical properties on the molecule, forming various families of organic compounds. Thioesters (R1—S—CO—R2) are one such functional group in biomolecules.
