Ionic properties and reactions: Zwitter ions, pKa values, isoelectric point, application of electrophoresis (gel and paper) and ion exchange chromatography in separation and purification of amino acids and proteins. Peptides: Peptide linkage, determination of their primary structures, end group analysis (Edmans, Sanger‘s and Dansyl chloride method only), application of partial hydrolysis (chemical, enzymatic). Peptide synthesis: using N-protecting groups (Boc and benzyloxycarbonyl methods only), C-protecting group, C-activating groups (acid chloride, acid azide, activated esters and DCC methods only) and Solid-phase synthesis. Proteins: classification, tests in laboratory and biological importance, primary, secondary(α-helix and β- pleated sheets), tertiary and quaternary structures of proteins. Unit II: Enzymes Introduction, classification and characteristics of enzymes. Salient features of active site of enzymes. Mechanism of enzyme action(taking trypsin as example), factors affecting enzyme action, coenzymes and cofactors and their role in biological reactions, specificity of enzyme action (including stereospecificity), enzyme inhibitors and their importance, phenomenon of inhibition (competitive , uncompetitive and non-competitive inhibition including allosteric inhibtion). Unit III: Lipids Lipids: Introduction and classification. Oils and fats : Common fatty acids present in oils and fats, essential fatty acids and their importance, omega fatty acids, trans fats, hydrogenation, saponification value, iodine number, acid number, drying, rancidity (hydrolytic and oxidative) and reversion.
