Course Outline
  • Unit 1 - Biochemistry
  • Students will analyse the technological
    applications used in the food, pharmaceutical,
    and medical industries that affect biological
    processes and cellular functions. They will
    investigate how molecules and their chemical
    properties affect cellular processes and
    biochemical reactions. Students will demonstrate
    an understanding of the important structural and
    functional roles compounds play in the cells of
    all living organisms.
  • Unit 2 - Metabolic Processes
  • Students will investigate the chemical changes
    and energy conversions that occur in metabolic
    processes. They will demonstrate the ways in
    which an understanding of metabolic processes
    enables people to make informed choices with
    respect to a range of personal, societal, and
    environmental issues.
  • Unit 3 - Molecular Genetics
  • Students will demonstrate an understanding that
    DNA contains all the genetic information for any
    living organism. They will investigate how
    proteins control a wide variety of cellular
    processes. Students will assess the social,
    legal, and ethical implications of genetic
    research and biotechnology.
  • Unit 4 - Homeostasis
  • Students will demonstrate an understanding of the
    strict limits on the internal conditions that
    organisms can tolerate. The will investigate the
    ways in which organ systems that maintain
    homeostasis rely on feedback mechanisms. Student
    will explore the environmental factors that
    affect homeostasis.
  • Unit 5 - Population Dynamics
  • Students will demonstrate an understanding of how
    population growth follows predictable patterns.
    They will investigate how increased consumption
    of resources and production of waste is
    associated with population growth and results in
    specific stresses that affect Earth's
    sustainability. Students will assess
    technological developments that can contribute to
    or help offset the ecological footprint
    associated with population growth and the
    consumption of natural resources.

  • Prior understanding
  • Elements are pure substances that cannot be
    broken down through chemical or physical methods,
    elements consist of only one type of atom, an
    atom is the smallest component of an element that
    retains the properties of that element
  • A compound is a pure substance composed of two or
    more elements chemically combined, there is a
    specific ratio of types of atoms
  • Atoms contain a nucleus with protons and
    neutrons, protons are positively charged and
    neutrons have no charge
  • The number of protons defines the element i.e.
    Carbon has 6 protons
  • Negatively charged electrons travel in orbits
    (energy levels) around the nucleus, loss or gain
    of an electron causes the formation of a charged
    ion, electrons in the outer orbits are referred
    to as valence electrons, negatively charged ions
    are anions, positively charged ions are cations
  • The number of electrons in an uncharged atom is
    the same as the number of protons
  • The number of protons and neutrons determines the
    mass number of the element i.e. Carbon 12 has 6
    protons and 6 neutrons

Lesson 1Chemistry in Living Systems
  • What is biochemistry?
  • BRAINSTORM
  • Biochemistry the branch of science dealing with
    the chemical and physiochemical processes that
    occur within living organisms.

7
Organic Chemistry
  • What is the difference between organic and
    inorganic molecules?
  • Organic molecules
  • usually contain CARBON and HYDROGEN
  • Inorganic molecules
  • usually do not contain CARBON

8
Isotopes
  • elements that contain atoms with the same number
    of protons but different numbers of neutrons
  • the atomic number remains the same, the mass
    number changes
  • C-12 has a mass 12, 6 protons and 6 neutrons
  • C-13 has a mass 13, 6 protons and 7 neutrons
  • C-14 has a mass 14, 6 protons and 8 neutrons

9
  • C-12 makes up 99 of the carbon in nature, C-14
    is a radioisotope that breaks down to release
    N-14, subatomic particles and energy
  • Radioisotopes decay in a predictable manner
    called the half-life (time taken for one half of
    the nuclei to decay)

10
(No Transcript)
11
  • Organisms take in radioactive carbon dioxide from
    the environment until the day they die but over
    time the radioactive carbon will decay but
    non-radioactive carbon will remain the same so
    the ratio of radioactive carbon to
    non-radioactive carbon can be used to date a
    specimen

12
Organic Elements and Bonding
  • electrons occupy volumes of space around the
    nucleus called orbitals or energy levels
  • 2 electrons occupy the first energy level (1s
    orbital), 8 electrons occupy the second
    energy level (2 in a 2s orbital, 6 in a 2p
    orbital)
  • the outermost s and p orbitals are valence
    orbitals, and the electrons in them are called
    valence electrons
  • the chemical behavior of elements is determined
    by these valence electrons

13
Organic Elements and Bonding
  • Atoms combine to make molecules.
  • The bonds between atoms of the same molecule
    (i.e. within the molecule) are intramolecular
    bonds.
  • DEMO ?

14
Organic Elements and Bonding
  • The three types of intramolecular bonds are
  • Non-Polar Covalent Bonds
  • Polar Covalent Bonds
  • Ionic Bonds

15
  • 1. Non-Polar Covalent Bonds
  • Bond formed by sharing a pair
  • of valence electrons between
  • two atoms.

16
  • 2. Polar Covalent Bonds
  • Bond formed by unequal sharing of a pair
  • of valence electrons between two
  • atoms.
  • One atom is slightly negative one is
  • slightly positive (dipole)

17
  • 3. Ionic Bonds
  • Bond formed by transfer of electrons
  • from atom to atom.
  • This results in the formation of positive
  • cation, and negative anion. Ions are held
  • together by electrostatic attraction.

18
  • Ions are important in living systems
  • H ions are important in cellular respiration
  • Na ions are part of transport mechanisms that
    enable molecules to enter cells
  • Ca ions are involved in nerve transmission

19
The Role of Electronegativity
  • Electronegativity is a measure of an atoms
    ability to attract a shared electron pair in a
    covalent bond
  • Each element in the periodic table has an
    assigned electronegativity number (EN) - the
    larger the number, the greater the greater the
    pull on the electron pair
  • The element with the greater EN has a partial
    (d-) charge, the element with the smaller EN has
    a partial (d) charge

20
  • ?En is the difference between the
    electronegativity number between two atoms
    participating in a covalent bond
  • Electronegativity values can be found on a
    periodic table.

21
  • Electronegativity difference
  • determines the BOND TYPE
  • ?En 0 is when atoms share electrons equally,
    nonpolar covalent
  •  ?En gt 0 lt 1.7 one atom attracts the
    electrons more than the other, polar covalent
    bond 
  • ?En gt 1.7 or 1.7 electrons are gained by one
    atom, lost by the other, (anions and cations),
    ionic bond

22

23
  • EXAMPLE
  • Bonds in Water (H2O)
  • Oxygen electronegativity 3.44
  • Hydrogen electronegativity 2.2
  • Difference 3.44 2.2 1.24
  • Bond Type ? Polar covalent
  • In a water molecule the oxygen is slightly
    negatively charged because it has a higher
    electronegativity

24

  • Determine the type of bond
  • KCl
  • CH4
  • H2

  • K 0.9 Cl 2.9
  • 2.9 0.9 2.0 ionic bond
  • b) CH4

  • 2.5 2.1 0.4 non-polar covalent
  • c) H2
  • H 2.1
  • 2.1 2.1 0 nonpolar covalent

26
Organic Elements and Bonding
  • The bonds between molecule intermolecular bonds.
  • Weaker than intramolecular bonds
  • DEMO ?
  • Two types of intermolecular interactions are
    particularly important for biological system
    hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions

27
  • Hydrogen bonding
  • water is a polar molecule, attractions between
    () ends and (-) ends are called hydrogen bonds
    (see role of water)
  • FON

28
  • Hydrophobic interactions non-polar molecules
    such as cooking oil and motor oil do not form
    hydrogen bonds, but in the presence of polar
    molecules such as water, they tend to clump
    together, extruding water.
  • These are referred to as hydrophobic (water
    fearing)
  • Polar molecules that form hydrogen bonds with
    water are said to be hydrophilic (water loving)
  • DEMO ?

29
Why is WATER a special molecule?
  • Greater than 2/3 of body mass is water, lungs 90
    water, bones 20 water, fat is 25 water
  • Controls body temperature, lubricates joints,
    shock absorber in brain and spinal cord and
    moisturizes surfaces
  • Polar covalent bonds and asymmetrical structure
    creates a highly polar molecule
  • Polarity of water allows it to form chemical
    bonds with other molecules (adhesion), itself
    (cohesion) and ions

32
POLAR vs. NON-POLAR BONDS
  • RECALL Intramolecular vs. Intermolecular bonds
  • Electronegativity
  • Elements have varying electronegativity (EN)
  • i.e. how strongly an atom can attract electrons
  • Non-Polar Covalent Bonds the atoms involved have
    similar electro negativities, so the electrons
    are equally shared.
  • (ex. H-H, O-O, C-H)
  • Polar Covalent Bonds the atoms involved have
    different electro negativities, so there is
    unequal sharing of electrons. This results in a
    separation of charge.
  • (ex. O-H)

POLAR vs. NON-POLAR MOLECULES
  • Polar bonds ? Polar molecule
  • Non-polar bonds ? Non-polar molecule
  • Polar Molecules
  • If the molecule is asymmetrical and has polar
    covalent bonds, the molecule will also be polar
    (e.g. glucose)
  • These molecules are hydrophilic (water loving)
  • Non-Polar Molecules
  • Non polar molecules occur when a molecule has
    non-polar covalent bonds (e.g. C-H backbone) OR
  • the polar covalent bonds are in a symmetrical
    arrangement (e.g. CCl4)
  • These molecules are hydrophobic (water hating)

37
Functional Groups (aka reactive clusters)
  • What are functional groups and why are they
    important?
  • All the biological molecules we will be studying
    have important functional groups which determine
    their function and interactions in cells

38
  • With the exception of a few molecules (i.e.
    carbon dioxide) compounds containing carbon are
    referred to as organic compounds. The organic
    molecules of importance to living organisms can
    be classified into groups carbohydrates,
    lipids, proteins and nucleic acids.

39
  • Carbon
  • 4 valence electrons can form 4 covalent bonds
    with other elements

40
  • attach to each other to form linear or branched
    or ring structures and therefore are the backbone
    of biological molecules
  • molecules with only carbon and hydrogen are
    hydrocarbons, non-polar due to the symmetrical
    arrangement of their bonds

41
  • other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, sulfur,
    nitrogen and phosphorus may also attach to the
    carbon backbone to form functional groups

104
Primary (1)Structure - Polypeptide
  • sequence of amino acids (aa) polypeptide chain
  • Critical to final protein structure and function
  • Determines the chemical and physical
    characteristics of the protein
  • Sickle cell anemia single error in aa sequence
    ? affects folding ? rigid, sticky, sickle-shaped
    red blood cells

105
Secondary (2) Structure coils and folds
  • As amino acids are added to the polypeptide
    chain, it starts to fold along its length and
    hydrogen bonds form between elements of the amino
    acid backbone
  • Common patterns
  • a- helix
  • ß-folded sheets

106
  • a-helix
  • Ex. Fibrous proteins such as a-keratin in hair
  • ß-sheet two parts of polypeptide lie parallel
    to one another
  • Ex. Proteins in silk used
  • by spiders to make webs

107
Tertiary (3) Structure
  • Strong forces of attraction and repulsion between
    the polypeptide its environment force further
    folding into a tertiary structure
  • Interactions involve the R-groups
  • Hydrogen bonds polar side chains
  • Ionic bonds charged side chains
  • van der Waals forces non-polar R groups
  • Proline natural kink (in a-helix or ß-sheet)
  • Disulfide bridge covalent bond between sulfur
    containing R groups

108
Strong stabilizer
109
Quaternary (4) Structure the final shape
  • Two or more folded polypeptide subunits come
    together to make a functional protein
  • Physical and chemical environmental factors play
    a role (aq, pH, temp)
  • Example Hemoglobin

Changes in 3D shape of protein
  • Caused by changes in
  • Temperature
  • pH
  • Ionic concentration

Protein Denaturation
  • Useful Gastrin digestive enzyme works in stomach
    (low pH) and inactive in small intestine (high
    pH)
  • Dangerous Prolonged fever above 39C can denature
    critical enzymes in brain ? death
