But, nonetheless, we can admit that the specific orientations of all these things dictate very importantly the difference between here, in this case sucrose, and in this case lactose. She's otherwise very nice. as a consequence, there is no net shifting of charge. Here we note one thing. If somebody has rabies, at one stage of rabies, almost near, the terminal stage, the individual becomes hydrophobic, because he or she doesn't like to drink water, for reasons that are. And what should we note about glucose? And as we see the hydrophilic heads. 1. in principle, represents a site for possible esterification. It may just be through diffusion. I guess most people would call this pentane. membranes separate two hydrophilic or two aqueous spaces. like to be in water. And the truth is that vast numbers of biochemical linkages are made by esterification reactions and reversed by reactions that are called simply hydrolysis. And we don't need to get into all the details, but you can begin to imagine. It's nothing to be ashamed of. And this group up here is, once again, this happens to be a, serine which is an amino acid, this also happens to be quite, hydrophilic. Probably good to have a screen down. After this lining up occurred there. In fact, class, there's a second meaning for. In fact, these tails can go on in certain aliphatic compounds. So lactase is the enzyme which breaks down lactose. So these are highly hydrophilic ions. Let's look at a compound that's structured like this. It's sometimes called amphipathic, but we don't need to worry about that word. Whereas, the oxygen atom becomes slightly electronegative. And, obviously, the stereochemistry of a molecule is dictated by the flexibility with which participating atoms can form bonds, whether we have a trivalent atom like nitrogen or a tetravalent atom like carbon or a monovalent like hydrogen. obviously, between 300,000 and 150 million year ago. expended to enable this passage. In fact, these tails can go on in certain, aliphatic compounds. And this area of unequal distribution of electrons will in turn induce the opposite kind of electron shift in a neighboring molecule down here. Send to friends and colleagues. In recitations, an instructor or Teaching Assistant elaborates on concepts presented in lecture, working through new examples with student participation, and answers questions. reversed by reactions that are called simply hydrolysis. It may be rapidly an interchange between them. We see that up here. Lecture 3 handout . And it turns out we have more bacterial cells in our gut than we have our own cells in the rest of the body. But, nonetheless, sufficient to give a very weak interaction between these two molecules which may persist only for a microsecond and then be dissipated because the charges then redistributed once again. here's an amine group. And nonpolar molecules, which have large arrays of these kinds of bonds, or carbon-carbon bonds, these are relatively insoluble in, water, and that has important consequences for the organization of. ), Learn more at Get Started with MIT OpenCourseWare, MIT OpenCourseWare is an online publication of materials from over 2,500 MIT courses, freely sharing knowledge with learners and educators around the world. water. It has an unpaired set of electrons on the. which then are avidly taken up by the water molecules. » Imagine that. But they cannot break this down. They've been waiting around for years, decades for a little bit of lactose. than do hydrogen atoms, i.e., they are electronegative. Made for sharing. And what we see here is the following. Because here, for the first time, we talk about polymerization. Dr. Hrycyna's office hour is in BRWN 3130D. The Resource Index compiles links to most course resources in a single page. They can go on for 20 or even 30, carbons. That if we were to construct, for example, a molecule of the sort that has here, in this case we're talking about a molecule that has two hydrophobic tails. In recent years, OCW has substantially increased its video content. Now, let's get a little bit more complicated. It's what happens, let's say, at 10:55 when we all leave the room. Well, actually, I should put a carbon over here. sugar. electron shift in a neighboring molecule down here. MIT Lecture 6 5.07 Biochemistry Lecture - Free download as Powerpoint Presentation (.ppt), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or view presentation slides online. And obviously the further apart you, get the weaker the attraction with one another. And, as a consequence, in most mammals the production of lactase is, shut down later in life. And the, electrostatic interactions, you cannot quantify exactly how many, kilocalories a mole there is because the energetic value in electrostatic, interaction is equal to one over r squared where r is the distance, between these two charged groups. The disaccharide gets into the gut and the bacteria go to town. » Freely browse and use OCW materials at your own pace. No enrollment or registration. one electron each. Either before or even after this ionization, there is a strong affinity of the carboxyl group with the water around it because let's look at what happened before the ionization occurred. https://ocw.mit.edu/.../video-lectures/lecture-2-biochemistry-1 And time and again you'll see, over the next weeks, that esterification reactions are important for constructing different kinds of molecules. little globular sphere where the lipid tails are tucked inside. highly hydrophilic, can also not go through. line, but whenever you see a membrane indicated, implicit in that drawing is the fact that each one of these membranes is, actually a bilayer. And, obviously, it's highly. The galactose can be readily, converted into glucose, and glucose is the universal, currency of carbohydrate energy. And both of these structures, these alternative structures can fairly be considered to be glucose. And keep in mind that this delta I show here is only a fraction of an electronic charge. Similarly, here this oxygen will be slightly electronegative for the reasons I've just described. Because these are so highly hydrophilic, the water molecules, love to gather around them and form hydrogen bonds and electrostatic, bonds with them. Entropy is chaos. these different kinds of hydroxyls and hydrogens. And let's move onto the next layer, of complexity. And, indeed, represents the reason, why water does not vaporize at room temperature because the water. Here through an esterification, let's look up at this one here, instead of adding a third fatty acid, we've saved, we've reserved one of the three groups of the glycerol. And a dislike of water is often called its hydrophobicity. With a team of extremely dedicated and quality lecturers, biochemistry lectures will not only be a place to share knowledge but also to help students get inspired to explore and discover many creative ideas from themselves. this makes people very uncomfortable. And consequently we now have two reasons why this molecule doesn't like to be in the midst of water. This unit will introduce the course and cover the basics of biochemistry and cell composition. It's not the entire electronic, charge moved over. And for some weird quirk of human history, a significant proportion of humanity has learned how to retain the ability to make lactose through adulthood. Again, he is otherwise a tolerant person but he's lactose intolerant. All right. And why they can is something we'll have to wait until next time to learn about. energy sources from plants. The first one is that living organisms are chemical systems. Why? And, the fact of the matter is. Here through an esterification. Here we have fructose and we have galactose. Imagine that. » its willingness and interest in pulling electrons toward itself. And, therefore, we can imagine there could be a net negative. It's shed its proton. Contact me at kgahern@davincipress.com / Friend me on Facebook (kevin.g.ahern)2. That's a bit of a. fantasy since dinosaurs left us, I guess, about 150 million years ago. And. We don't offer credit or certification for using OCW. Knowledge is your reward. And so here's actually the way that many biological. And each time we do that, on three separate occasions, what we end up doing is to create. And, therefore, it will participate. or ten years. But this has important consequences, for the entire biochemistry that we're about to get into both today. roughly 5 kilocalories of energy per mole to hold things together. There are other pairs of molecules which are relatively equally electronegative. terms of molecules represents carbohydrates. With equal probability you can have these two atoms reversed where hydrogen is now above the plane and hydroxyl is below the plane. Here's a vesicle. the nucleus of the hydrogen atom to just wander away. And I was just reading yesterday about how people were analyzing the mitochondrial DNA from some Neanderthal bones which were dug up. That if we were to construct, for example, a molecule of the sort that has here, in this case we're talking about a, molecule that has two hydrophobic tails. And why they can is something we'll have to wait, until next time to learn about. lactose. there is a dehydration reaction between this hydroxyl here and this hydroxyl here. So let's just say that's our intro, into lipids and membranes. Now, independent of any other forces that might exist here, indeed one could imagine situations where there is a sharing of a proton. And here we can see about the semi-permeability, how permeable these membranes are to different kinds of molecules. Now, the fact of the matter is this also affords the cell the ability to, segregate contents on one or the other side of whatever lipid bilayer, it happens to have constructed. Every five years I ask a class to see who knows what the second meaning of hydrophobia is. in the chaos that occurs when this molecule directly confronts water. Now, as a consequence of these rather conflicted feelings that these molecules have about water, we can ask the question what happens when we put such molecules actually into water? And at the end of this, let's just put arbitrarily a. carboxyl group. Let's look at this thing here. After this lining up occurred there was a loss of entropy, there was a loss of chaos. Glycerol, which we talked about before, is also considered in one sense a carbohydrate, but it's been called by some people a triose. reaction to form a covalent bond. And, therefore, are actually being shielded from any direct exposure to, water. But, in fact, this energy, the energy of a covalent bond is so much higher that it's highly, unlikely that thermal energy is going to break apart a preexisting, covalent bond. There's a big difference, obviously, between 300,000 and 150 million year ago. So let's just say that's our intro into lipids and membranes. following. Why? But, nonetheless, sufficient to, give a very weak interaction between these two molecules which may, persist only for a microsecond and then be dissipated because the. The two monosaccharides are no problem because they can readily be, interconverted. They're just constantly being exchanged back and forth. But the truth of the matter is, if one wants to get frank, that oxygen molecules, and we always are here, that oxygen molecules have a greater affinity for electrons than do hydrogen atoms, i.e., they are electronegative. down the sucrose but it will not touch lactose. But once mammals are weaned there's no reason on earth for them to. And then, for the rest of their lives, whenever they have a milk, containing product, in fact, my son is also lactose. 30,000 years ago, our recently demised cousins. 5 kilocalories is not much. the ability to make lactose through adulthood. just allow for the passive diffusion of an ion through them, through the doughnut hole enabling an ion, so if here's the lipid, bilayer, not showing its two things, these kinds of doughnut shaped, protein aggregates will allow the passage of ions in one, direction or another. And that's a rather strong energy to hold together two atoms because the energy, the thermal energy, that is the energy at, let's say, body temperature is about 0.6 kilocalories per mole. And this ordering represents a loss of chaos, a loss of entropy. That's explains, in fact, why, for example, table salt goes so readily into solution, because it readily ionizes into sodium, NA and CL, which then are avidly taken up by the water molecules. cells, just to site some arbitrary examples. lipid bilayers are reasonably permeable to water. And this molecule is therefore, called a polar molecule by virtue of the fact that here it has a positive, pole and here it has a negative pole. Lecture 2: Discovery of Electron and Nucleus. And they were analyzing the DNA sequences. Lecture 4: Wave-Particle Duality of Matter. When the channels are gated open then diffusion can take over and, insure the transfer, the transportation of ions from one. The fact is that the enzyme to break down lactose, it's an enzyme which is called lactase. which is the way we store a lot of sugar in our liver. indeed those that are held together by the covalent bonds like this. hold together two atoms because the energy, the thermal energy, that is the energy at, let's say, body temperature is about 0.6. kilocalories per mole. affects on the overall behavior of molecules. And let's move onto the next layer of complexity. group over here. And, therefore, it will participate in hydrogen bonding to the water solvent here, i. They're just constantly being. Independent of that, let's imagine up here we have a basic group, let's say an amine group over here. So there's a high degree of stereospecificity as it's called in, the trade. Here's a very long hydrophobic tail. pull electrons away, one from the other. with that background in mind, let's begin to elaborate on it, on how we can make molecules that have interesting properties that, enable them, among other things, to participate in the construction, of lipid bilayers, which will be the first object of. Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Here we see a carbon bond to a hydroxyl here via this oxygen atom. For example, if we look at aliphatic compounds. oxygen and this hydrogen will allow the hydrogen, or rather the proton. And I emphasize that point to indicate that the stereochemical differences between different kinds of carbohydrates makes a very important difference. Gases can go right through. Here's a starch, which is what we get from many. But now look how. What will happen is that this oxygen atom over here by virtue of its electronegativity will have a certain affinity for pulling this hydrogen atom toward itself. neurons are kept at their proper respective levels. Just to show you, now, the fact is that lactose intolerance people can perfectly well break down sucrose, obviously. They only have five, to state the obvious. And the next layer of complexity in terms of molecules represents carbohydrates. Lecture 3 slides (PDF - 1.2 MB) Lec 4: Conserved and variable structural features of kinase domains: Lecture 4 handout . complicated. glucose actually exists inside cells. And, as a consequence, there is a fraction of a negative charge here at this end of the molecule and there are fractions of positive charges here because it's not as if they've totally given up the electrons, but the electrons are shifted more in this direction. And as we see the hydrophilic heads are immersed or sticking their heads into the hydrophilic space. But now look how strongly charged this is. our attentions today in terms of actual biochemistry. And they never get it because most. This interchange causes a strong association between, two neighboring water molecules. And we'll shortly indulge ourselves. And here we see this space filling model. And what this means is that there's an unequal distribution. And, in fact, there is no net charge. There's no signup, and no start or end dates. This is the lower illustration here. Modify, remix, and reuse (just remember to cite OCW as the source. and scratch your heads. Exams: February 1, March 1 and April … Here's a starch, which is what we get from many plants. See you on. Phosphate can react with more than just one partner, the glycerol down here. Of course, you remember the film Jurassic Park where they used PCR, reaction to resurrect the DNA of dinosaurs. Although, not as effective as over here where we have a double-bond, where we have a lot of concentration of a cloud of electrons pulled, towards the oxygen atom. We believe here at MIT of teaching things two or three times often. And the hydrophilic heads sticking in the water, this is just repeating what we saw before, become even more hydrophilic if we look at a molecule like this. 5 kilocalories is not much. And second of all there is a decrease in the entropy, in the chaos that occurs when this molecule directly confronts water. In this case we've added this group up here. And, the fact of the matter is, let's say we draw one water molecule down here and one water molecule down here. Why is that? And here you see that it's formed once again through an esterification, reaction, i.e. In addition, you will understand the effect of an amino acid substitution on the general structure and function of a protein. And here you see that it's formed once again through an esterification reaction, i.e. And it's actually the case, to my knowledge, that one doesn't really understand to this day why. And the next layer of complexity in. Just by chance. more electrons over here than right here. Lab lecture: Biochemistry (Room 4-465) Introductory Lect.
