Enantiomer Example

chemical groups that affect molecular function ◦Contribute by affecting molecules shape

◦Directly involved in chemical reactions

Functional Groups

List of Reactive functional groups

increase solubility of organic compounds


in water

Hydrophilic

Non Reactive Functional Group

Methyl Group

Not reactive, functional group contributes


to function by affecting

shape

Hydroxyl Group -OH

Carbonyl Group




Carbon double bonded to oxygen

carbonyl group within a carbon skeleton

Ketone

Acetone, the simplest ketone


structural isomers

carbonyl group at the end of the

carbon skeleton

Aldehyde
Propanal, an aldehyde

structural isomers

Carboxyl
Group   -COOH    
Carboxyl Group -COOH
Found in cells in the ionized form with a charge of 1- and called  carboxylate ion
Found in cells in the

ionized form with a charge of 1- and called


carboxylate ion

Carboxyl


FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES:





Amino Group  -NH2
Amino Group -NH2

Acts as a base; can pick up a H+ from the


surrounding solution (water, in living organisms):




Found in cells in the ionized form with a charge of 1+.

Amino Group


FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES:

Amino

Name: Amines


amine & a carboxylic acid


(compounds with both groups


are called amino acids



Sulfhydryl Group  -SH

Sulfhydryl Group -SH

can react, forming a covalent bond. This “cross-linking” helps stabilize protein structure.

2 sulfhydryl groups



Thiols










Phosphate
Group

Phosphate Group


PhOsphates have


P’s and O’s

Contributes negative charge to the molecule of which it is a part (2– when at the end of a

molecule, (Glycerol phosphate); 1– when located internally in a chain of phosphates).


---Molecules containing phosphate groups have the potential to react with water, releasing


energy.

Glycerol phosphate,


takes part in many important


chemical reactions in cells



Adenosinetriphosphate (ATP)


Organic phosphate molecule- energy source adenosine attached to 3 phosphate groups










Methyl
Group  

MethylGroup

Affects the expression of genes


Transcription


Translation


Shape can change function

methylated compounds

copy DNA into RNA

Transcription

 

methylated compounds

5-methyl cytidine

“translate” RNA to protein

Translation

Estradiol

Testosterone
Is polar as a result of the electrons spending more time near the electronegative oxygen atom.



Can form H-bonds with water molecules, helping dissolve organic compounds such as sugars.

Hydroxyl

FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES

Sulfhydryl


Cross-linking of cysteines in hair proteins


maintains the curliness or straightness of hair. Straight hair can be “permanently” curled by shaping it around curlers and then breaking and re-forming the cross-linking bonds.

the primary energy- transferring molecule in the cell
adenosine triphosphate (ATP)


ATP consists of an organic molecule called adenosine attached to a string of

three phosphate groups

Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP)
