Class 1 E1 Flashcards
R-O-H
hydroxyl
hydroxyl groups
participate in rxns including esterification, dehydration, oxidation.
R-C-H
||
O
carbonyl (aldehydes and ketones)
carbonyl group
polar, subjected to nucleophilic attack by hydroxy / amino groups.
R-C-O
||
O
carboxyl
carboxyl
weak acids, form esters and amides.
R1-C-O-R2
||
O
ester
ester
result of hydroxy and carboxylic acid rxns, commonly found in lipids.
R-S-H
thiol
thiol
hydroxyl analogs, found in cysteine.
R-S-S-R’
disulfide
disulfide
result of rxn of two thiol groups, reducing agents cleave disulfide, restoring two thiols.
R1-C-S-R2
||
O
thioester
thioester
large negative free E of hydrolysis
R-NH3
amino
amino
lone pair can acquire a proton, leads to positively charged amino group.
R-(C=O)-(N-R)-H
amide
amide
formed via amine and carboxylic acid rxn; peptides are amide linkages found in proteins.
phosphates
inorganic phosphate Pi
phosohoesters
phosphate group plus hydroxyl group
phosphoanhydrides
found in nucleoside triphosphates like ATP, large negative free E of hydrolysis
