4Relationship between Haworth (flat ring)
depiction and chair-form
Flat ring (Haworth projection) just gives the
relative positions of the H and OH at each
carbon, one is above the other. But it does
not tell the positions of the groups relative to
the plane of the ring (up, down or out)
5Polymers are built by removing a molecule of
water between them, known as dehydration, or
condensation.
- R-OH HO-R
- ? R-O-R HOH
- This process does not happen by itself
- (It is NOT like glucose ring formation)
- Rather, like virtually all of the reactions in a
cell, it requires the aid of a CATALYST
Dimer formation
6AND Polymers are broken down by the reverse
process, ADDING a molecule of water between them,
known as DIMER HYDROLYSIS
- R-O-R HOH? R-OH HO-R
- This process does not happen by itself
- Rather, like virtually all of the reaction in a
cell, it requires the aid of a CATALYST

It is the side chains that provide the variety
45Polypeptides vs. proteins
- Polypeptide amino acids connected in a linear
chain (polymer) - Protein a polypeptide or several associated
polypeptides (discussed later) - Often used synonymously
- Peptide (as opposed to polypeptide) is smaller,
