Document Summary
Lecture #7: amino acids & peptides: 12th march 2018: Define the basic structure of amino acids- be able to recognise various groups therein. Recognise aa chemical classifications, where each aa fits, importance of side chain (r group) chemistry in bonds between aa and water. Have an understanding of importance of aa chirality. Understand that aa are zwitterions and be able to draw structure at different ph. Be able to draw and label components of peptides, including peptide bonds and aa residues. Understand process of peptide bond formation is via condensation reactions. In nearly all cellular processes, movement, physically move things, moving cells, fluid, within the cell. Highly complex, act as molecular machines, structural components & packaging materials- control most chemical reactions in our bodies. Control most of the chemical reactions in our bodies. When proteins are dysfunctional, problems can arise in the cell, tissue, in the organism, protein dysfunction- caused by genetic disorder.
