Protein: amino acid polymer: amino terminus: nh3, carboxyl terminus: coo- Miescher: worked on white blood cells from pus, found acidic compound, named it nucleic acids : nucleic acids: building blocks of polypeptides. Central dogma: dna rna protein: dna rna : transcription, rna protein : translation. Group!! (so, sugar + base: nucleoside phosphate (mono, di, or triphosphates) can be synonymous as nucleotide, there are also deoxynucleoside phosphates. Protein function: catalysis (catalyze chemical rxns in/across cell), structural support, transport, regulatory (gene function, sensors/switches to control protein activity), signaling, motor (motion) 2 possible isomers: d and l: most natural amino acids are l. 15. fighting drug-resistant bacteria: use l"s mostly: most sugars are d, most amino acids are l. 17. hydrophilic amino acids: polar, water soluble: basic: lysine, arginine, histidine (+ charge in r group, acidic: aspartate, glutamate (- charge in r group, polar: serine, threonine, asparagine, glutamin (w/ uncharged r groups)
