day 9:
DUE: Campbell Online Ch.6 Homework
Pre-lab (hand out enzyme catalysis lab) use DVD.
Demo: catalase in H2O2 and boiled catalase in H2O2
compound vs. molecule
Electronegativity
e- transfer vs. sharing
emergent properties of H-bonding
pH
buffering (H2CO3  HCO3- + H+)
The H+ combines with the excess OHto form water.
List bond strengths: greatest to
weakest:
covalent, ionic, hydrogen, van der
Waals.
–S stabilize proteins by forming
covalent cross links
dehydration synthesis, hydrolysis
“Carbo-Hydrate”= CH2O
glycosidic linkages: we can’t digest
beta linkages in cellulose
Use Who’s Who of Macromolecules
(fig. sheet)
A.A. have different chem./physical
properties in their R groups that
make them unique.
Linus Pauling on how he used a piece
of paper to discover a secondary
structure of protein! (Link to Youtube)
