CHEM 3310 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Membrane Fluidity, Atp-Binding Cassette Transporter, Lipid Bilayer
Document Summary
Chapter 10 (just the end: blood types. Chapter 11: lipids: lipid basics, water insoluble (hydrophobic, non-polymeric structure, energy storage, membrane constituent, hormone signaling, fatty acids, structure, hydrocarbon with carboxylic acid head, highly reduced carbon source, more double bonds= more unsaturated, no double bonds= saturated. Lower mp, more fluidity: olive oil liquid at room temp (14- 16 chain length, bacon grease (20-22 chain length, more saturated, higher mp cis double bond lowers mp, unsaturated fatty acids (oils) vs saturated fatty acids (solid, health. Tetracyclic ring structure -3 cyclohexanes fused with a cyclopentane. Facilitate lipid digestion: membrane fluidity buffer, membranes. Failure to remove farnesyl group: liposome therapy. Liposomes- can be used to deliver drugs, dna, etc. to specific areas. Chapter 12: membranes: lipid bilayer, phospholipids and glycolipids self assemble into bilayer, driving forces, h-bonding, hydrophobic effect, electrostatic interactions, van der waal"s attractions (close packing, fluidity, temperature, higher temp= more fluid.
