Document Summary

Fatty acid= carboxyl head and then a long hydrocarbon chain. Lecture 23: can be saturated or unsaturated. All the double bonds are cis: double bonds are not conjugated, every 2 bonds you would have a double bond. More double bonds more fluid: most common have 16-18 carbons. Lipids have no polymerization: can not join together with actual bonds, can make like hydrogen bonds and such, hydrophobic interactions. Followed by colon and # of double bonds. Chain with 16 carbons and no double bonds would be: omega nomenclature: carbons are counted from methyl end in. Can not be made through metabolism: systematic name= count # carbons, common name is different Longer chain= higher melting temperature: higher mass ~ higher melting temperature. Membranes only physically active above melting temperature: to be fluid-like. Triacylglycerol= fatty acid ester of glycerol: quite hydrophobic, also known as (cid:498)triglycerol(cid:499, 3 fatty acids linked to a glycerol molecule through ester bonds.
