Document Summary
The checkmarks below are what is covered in this course. Constituents of biological molecules found in all kinds of molecules. Everything else is also quite important and you should have seen in earlier chem courses. Phosphoanhydride is found in atp pr in any nucleotide triphosphate. Composed of a ribose/deoxyribose, a phosphate group, and a base. Extra oh makes rna more susceptible to hydrolysis and degradation. Hypothesis that rna was first molecule that appeared before dna. Chirality: four branches that are all different around a carbon, usually. You can tell handedness if you can grab it with your right hand like a sword essentially. Mimic nucleotides and shut down viral dna synthesis. They have components that mimic the structures of dna and are unlike other molecules. 500 are identified in nature, but 22 are involved in translation. All are chiral except for glycine --> so they form enantiomers with l being more common.
