Document Summary

Organic compounds are made up of the atoms: c, n, h, o, s (proteins), p (intracellular, leading to signal transduction phosphorylates proteins, enzymes and aa) Carbon can make four bonds; single or double bonds between carbons form. When a compound is a straight chain, it is classified as aliphatic the backbone of compounds. The prefix -ane are often non-polar, due to the fact that they have similar electronegativity"s. They form single bonds between the atoms, meaning that they will be full saturated. Ane = single bonds, while -ene = double bonds. Iso = prefix which means two carbons are bonded to another carbon acting as a branch which is a isomer of the straight chain compound. Yl prefix implies that there is a group attached to a compound carbon. Carbons can be numbered, this method has the 1 being the most oxidized. Also may use greek letters to count from the carbon next to the most oxidized.
