The Structure and Function of 

Large Biological Molecules

Chapter 5

Overview: The Molecules of Life

• All living things are made up of four classesof large biological molecules: carbohydrates,lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids

• Macromolecules are large molecules

composed of thousands of covalentlyconnected atoms

• Molecular structure and function areinseparable

Concept 5.1: Macromolecules are polymers,

built from monomers

• A polymer is a long molecule consisting ofmany similar building blocks

•These small building-block molecules arecalled monomers

• Three of the four classes of life’s organicmolecules are polymers

 – Carbohydrates – Proteins

 – Nucleic acids

• A dehydration reaction occurs when twomonomers bond together through the loss of awater molecule

• Polymers are disassembled to monomers byhydrolysis, a reaction that is essentially thereverse of the dehydration reaction

The Diversity of Polymers

• Each cell has thousands of differentmacromolecules

• Macromolecules vary among cells of anorganism, vary more within a species, andvary even more between species

• An immense variety of polymers can be builtfrom a small set of monomers

Concept 5.2: Carbohydrates serve as fuel

and building material

• Carbohydrates include sugars and thepolymers of sugars

The simplest carbohydrates aremonosaccharides, or single sugars

• Carbohydrate macromolecules arepolysaccharides, polymers composed of

many sugar building blocks

Sugars

• Monosaccharides have molecular formulasthat are usually multiples of CH2O

• Glucose (C6H12O6) is the most commonmonosaccharide

• Monosaccharides are classified by

 – The location of the carbonyl group (as aldoseor ketose)

 – The number of carbons in the carbon skeleton

• Plants store surplus starch as granules withinchloroplasts and other plastids

• The simplest form of starch is amylose

Structural Polysaccharides

• The polysaccharide cellulose is a majorcomponent of the tough wall of plant cells

• Like starch, cellulose is a polymer of glucose,but the glycosidic linkages differ

• The difference is based on two ring forms forglucose: alpha () and beta ()

• Polymers with glucose are helical• Polymers with glucose are straight

• In straight structures, H atoms on one

strand can bond with OH groups on otherstrands

• Parallel cellulose molecules held togetherthis way are grouped into microfibrils,

which form strong building materials forplants

• Enzymes that digest starch by hydrolyzing linkages can’t hydrolyze linkages in cellulose

• Cellulose in human food passes through thedigestive tract as insoluble fiber

• Some microbes use enzymes to digestcellulose

• Many herbivores, from cows to termites, have

symbiotic relationships with these microbes

Concept 5.3: Lipids are a diverse group of 

hydrophobic molecules

• Lipids are the one class of large biologicalmolecules that do not form polymers

The unifying feature of lipids is having little orno affinity for water

• Lipids are hydrophobic becausethey consistmostly of hydrocarbons, which form nonpolar

covalent bonds• The most biologically important lipids are fats,

phospholipids, and steroids

Fats

• Fats are constructed from two types of smallermolecules: glycerol and fatty acids

• Glycerol is a three-carbon alcohol with ahydroxyl group attached to each carbon

• A fatty acid consists of a carboxyl groupattached to a long carbon skeleton

• Fats separate from water because watermolecules form hydrogen bonds with eachother and exclude the fats

• In a fat, three fatty acids are joined toglycerol by an ester linkage, creating atriacylglycerol, or triglyceride

• Fatty acids vary in length (number of carbons)and in the number and locations of doublebonds

• Saturated fatty acids have the maximumnumber of hydrogen atoms possible and nodouble bonds

• Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more

double bonds

• Fats made from saturated fatty acids arecalled saturated fats, and are solid at roomtemperature

• Most animal fats are saturated

• Fats made from unsaturated fatty acids arecalled unsaturated fats or oils, and are liquidat room temperature

• Plant fats and fish fats are usually unsaturated

• A diet rich in saturated fats may contribute tocardiovascular disease through plaque deposits

• Hydrogenation is the process of convertingunsaturated fats to saturated fats by addinghydrogen

• Hydrogenating vegetable oils also createsunsaturated fats with trans double bonds

• These trans fats may contribute more thansaturated fats to cardiovascular disease

• Certain unsaturated fatty acids are notsynthesized in the human body

• These must be supplied in the diet

 Amino Acid Polymers

Amino acids are linked by peptide bonds• A polypeptide is a polymer of amino acids

• Polypeptides range in length from a few tomore than a thousand monomers

• Each polypeptide has a unique linearsequence of amino acids, with a carboxyl end(C-terminus) and an amino end (N-terminus)

 Four Levels of Protein Structure

The primary structure of a protein is its uniquesequence of amino acids

• Secondary structure, found in most proteins,consists of coils and folds in the polypeptide

chain

• Tertiary structure is determined by interactionsamong various side chains (R groups)

• Quaternary structure results when a proteinconsists of multiple polypeptide chains

What Determines Protein Structure?

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/05-lecture-presentation-pc 108/133

What Determines Protein Structure?

In addition to primary structure, physical andchemical conditions can affect structure

• Alterations in pH, salt concentration,temperature, or other environmental factors

can cause a protein to unravel• This loss of a protein’s native structure is

called denaturation

A denatured protein is biologically inactive

 Protein Folding in the Cell 

It is hard to predict a protein’s structure fromits primary structure

• Most proteins probably go through severalstages on their way to a stable structure

• Chaperonins are protein molecules thatassist the proper folding of other proteins

• Diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s,

and mad cow disease are associated withmisfolded proteins

There are two types of nucleic acids – Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)

 – Ribonucleic acid (RNA)

• DNA provides directions for its own

replication

• DNA directs synthesis of messenger RNA(mRNA) and, through mRNA, controls

protein synthesis• Protein synthesis occurs on ribosomes

• Each polynucleotide is made of monomerscalled nucleotides

• Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenousbase, a pentose sugar, and one or morephosphate groups

• Nucleoside = nitrogenous base + sugar

• There are two families of nitrogenous bases

 – Pyrimidines (cytosine, thymine, and uracil)have a single six-membered ring

 – Purines (adenine and guanine) have a six-membered ring fused to a five-membered ring

• In DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose; in RNA, the

sugar is ribose

• Nucleotide = nucleoside + phosphate group

Nucleotide Polymers

8/3/2019 05 Lecture Presentation PC

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/05-lecture-presentation-pc 126/133

• Nucleotide polymers are linked together to builda polynucleotide

• Adjacent nucleotides are joined by covalentbonds that form between the —OH group on the

3 carbon of one nucleotide and the phosphateon the 5 carbon on the next

• These links create a backbone of sugar-phosphate units with nitrogenous bases as

appendages

• The sequence of bases along a DNA or mRNApolymer is unique for each gene

• RNA molecules usually exist as singlepolypeptide chains

• DNA molecules have two polynucleotidesspiraling around an imaginary axis, forming a

double helix• In the DNA double helix, the two backbones

run in opposite 5→ 3 directions from eachother, an arrangement referred to asantiparallel

• One DNA molecule includes many genes

8/3/2019 05 Lecture Presentation PC

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/05-lecture-presentation-pc 128/133

• The nitrogenous bases in DNA pair up and formhydrogen bonds: adenine (A) always withthymine (T), and guanine (G) always withcytosine (C)

• Called complementary base pairing• Complementary pairing can also occur between

two RNA molecules or between parts of the samemolecule

• In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil (U) so Aand U pair
