Nucleic Acids: DNA and RNA
Carry and transmit detailed instructions for building every human cell and
for every cell of every living organism

Nucleic Acids• Polymer made of monomers – nucleotides
• Contain – Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Phosphorus
• Store and Transmit all genetic information
• 2 Types:
– Deoxyribonucleic acid - DNA
– Ribonucleic acid – RNA

Proteins: Do All The Work
• Large and complex Polymers, made up of long chains of amino acids (monomers)
• Instructions for building Proteins are "written" in DNA
• They have diverse biological roles/ jobs
![Page 6: Biomolecules: Nucleic Acids and Proteins. Nucleic Acids: DNA and RNA Carry and transmit detailed instructions for building every human cell and for every](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e265503460f94b1573e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Protein Jobs• Structure and support: main components of our
tissues – muscle, skin, hair, ligaments, etc.
• Communication & signaling – they can be signals (some hormones are proteins) or the receivers of signals (receptors)
• Defense: All antibodies are proteins
• Regulation: Regulate all processes in the cell
• Catalysis: Enzyme are catalysts, regulation all chemical reactions in cells

Amino Acids – the monomers of Proteins
aminogroup
carboxylic acid group
Carboxyl GroupR group
All amino acids have the same general structure: the only difference between each one is the nature of the R group. So the R group defines an amino acid. It represents a side chain from the central “alpha” carbon atom, and can be anything from a simple hydrogen atom to a more complex ring structure.

Amino Acid – Polar or Not?

There are 20 Amino acids

Building Proteins from Amino Acids
Dehydration synthesis:Carboxyl Group of 1st AminoAcid is linked to the AminoGroup of the 2nd Amino Acid and1 molecule of water is removed. The bond formed is called aPeptide bond/Peptide linkage.
Dipeptide – 2 Amino Acids linked
repeat steps to produce
Polypeptide – many Amino Acids linked
![Page 11: Biomolecules: Nucleic Acids and Proteins. Nucleic Acids: DNA and RNA Carry and transmit detailed instructions for building every human cell and for every](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e265503460f94b1573e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Polypeptides
When more amino acids are added to a dipeptide, a polypeptide chain is formed.A protein consists of one or more polypeptide chains folded into a highly specific 3D shape. Each Protein has a unique 3D Shape which is determined by the order in which the Amino Acids are arranged
![Page 12: Biomolecules: Nucleic Acids and Proteins. Nucleic Acids: DNA and RNA Carry and transmit detailed instructions for building every human cell and for every](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e265503460f94b1573e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Protein StructureThere are up to four levels of structure in a protein: primary - the order, sequence of amino acidssecondary - hydrogen bonds cause simple folding of the chaintertiary – 3D folding - shape of protein quaternary – when 2 or more polypeptide chains interact

How is the 3D Shape held together?
hydrophobic interactions:between non-polar sections of the protein.
disulfide bonds: one of the strongest and most important type of bond in proteins. Occur between two cysteine amino acids.
hydrogen bonds:involved in all levels of structure.

How can we destroy the shape of a Protein?
hydrophobic interactions:between non-polar sections of the protein.
disulfide bonds: one of the strongest and most important type of bond in proteins. Occur between two cysteine amino acids.
