Understanding Biomolecules: Polar vs. Non-Polar Interactions and the Role of RNA in Protein Synthesis

This overview explores the crucial differences between polar and non-polar molecules and their hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties, emphasizing the importance of shape and charge in molecular binding. It also elucidates water's unique hydrogen bonding, contributing to cohesion and surface tension. Additionally, the document discusses biomacromolecules, including DNA and RNA, highlighting their structures and functions. Key aspects include the directionality of the DNA helix and the roles of mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA in protein synthesis. We conclude by examining the diversity and functionality of proteins in biological systems.

  1. Section in review

  2. Polar vs Non Polar Hydrophillic Hydrophobic

  3. Binding specificity - Shape is important- Charge is important

  4. Water Hydrogen Bonding Water molecules bond together in this fashion, explains the concept of water cohesion / surface tension

  5. BIOMACROMOLECULES

  6. Condensation reaction Enzyme O - H Monomer Monomer O - H H2O O

  7. DNA vs RNA

  8. Why does each side of the DNA helix run opposite directions? 5 prime 3 prime 3 prime 5 prime

  9. What do I need to know about RNA mRNA – Messenger RNA is a messenger copyof DNA that is taken to the ribosomes tRNA – Transfer RNA brings amino acids to a grove in the ribosomes where they can be linked together to form proteins rRNA – Ribosomal RNA works with enzymes to speed up the assembly of amino acids into peptide chains

  10. Making amino acids

  11. Protein functional diversity PROTEINS GLOBULAR PROTEINS (functional) FIBROUS PROTEINS(structural) Insoluble, provide support and shape to the cell and are components in structural features such as membranes SolubleCatalytic proteins – ie enzymesMotility Proteins – ie flagellaRegulatory proteins – membrane receptors

  12. PHOTOSYNTHESIS INPUT / OUTPUT
