BIO206H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Adenosine Triphosphate, Hydrogen Bond, Alpha And Beta Carbon
Document Summary
The structure of nucleotides and dna is very imp. The molecule atp: broken down into its constituent units. We refer to the number of phosphate group attached to the 5 prime carbon when naming an adenosine for instance with 3 c"s we say adenosine triphosphate. Datp: nucleotide to be found in the dna the polymerization reaction always uses. ^this was the ultimate evidence that dna is the genetic material. Proteins do practically all the work in the cell, it does many diff types of things: enzyme catalysts are structural, molecular receptor (interact with env), transfer solutes, regulate gene expression, etc. One feature of theirs is the tremendous diversity of structure : the defining properties are related to its 3d structure and chemical properties. A linear unbranched polymer of amino acids-definition of proteins. Optical isomers are mirror images of each other.
