Document Summary
Bsci105 - lecture 5 - functional groups and structures of large molecules. Basic - accepts h stabilize protein structure gives negative charge when in chain affects expression of gene when bound to. Consists of three phosphate groups + adenosine. Adenine - ribose - p - p - p. These phosphates are broken off when water attaches the bonds. When the phosphate group is released, atp is released. Solubility is an extremely important property of biomolecules because it determines where they are found in the cell. Inside the protein molecule where they are shielded from the molecule. Structure and function of large biomolecules: polymers, carbohydrates and lipids. Dehydration: water is released from the reacting molecules, combining the molecules. The monomers together make up a polymer. When dehydration occurs, another monomer is added to the polymer. Hydrolysis: water breaks the bond that joined the two molecules.
