Document Summary

Hydroxyl: is polar as a result of the electrons spending more time near the electronegative oxygen atom, can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules helping dissolve organic compounds such s sugars. Carboxyl: acts as an acid, donate a proton, found in calls in the ionized form with a charge of 1- and called a carboxylate ion. Amino: acts as a base, can pick up an h, found in cells in the ionized form with a charge of 1+. Sulfhydryl: two groups can react forming a covalent bond this cross linking helps stabilize protein structure, cross linking in hair proteins maintains the curliness or straightness of the hair. Methyl: addition of a methyl group to dos or to molecules bound to dan affects the expressions of genes, arrangement of methyl groups in male and female sex hormones affects their shape and function end chapter 4. The chemical structures of vitamins study on notes.
