neutral, polar

arg
basic, polar
- pka of side chain is more basic than amine
- side chain is guanidine after three CH2s
asp
acidic, polar
- side chain is carboxyl after one CH2
glu
acidic, polar

Sec (Selenocysteine)
Neutral
Polar
- selenium replaces sulfur in cysteine’s thiol group

Citrulline
(don’t mistake for arginine!)


Hydroxyproline

gamma carboxy glutamate

Ornithine
(dont confuse with Lys! … Lys has one more -CH2- in its R group)
adenine
(purine with only an amino grp)
guanine
(purine with amino and oxo grp)
cytosine
(pyrimidine with amino and oxo)
uracil
(pyrimidine with 2 oxo grps)
thymine
(pyrimidine with 2 oxo and 1 methyl grp… ie methylated uracil)
hypoxanthine
(purine with only one oxo grp)

xanthine
(purine with 2 oxo grps)

Uric Acid
(purine with 3 oxo groups)

cAMP
(note the cyclized phosphate and ribose and the single amino grp on the purine = adenine)

cGMP
(note the cyclized P and ribose, plus the =O and -NH2 on the purine means guanine)

epinephrine
(decarboxylated, double hydroxlated and methylated tyrosine)

norepinephrine
(decarboxylated and double hydroxylated tyrosine)

tryptamine
(decarboxylated tryptophan)

serotonin
(decarboxylated and hydroxylated Trp)

Histamine
(decarbed His)

Beta Alanine
(alanine with amino in beta position)

GABA
- decarboxylated glutamate

ethanolamine
(ethanol with an amine… ya big idiot)

carbamoyl phosphate
(ammonia + bicarbonate + phosphate … sort of)

Urea

alpha-amino-beta-ketoadipate
(starting from the right side… there is an alpha amino group and beta ketone… this is the intermediate of ALA synthase in delta-aminolevulinate synthesis)

delta-aminolevulinic acid
(decarboxylation of the alpha-amino-beta-ketoadipate intermediate in the ALA synthase rxn)

Creatine
(made from Gly and Arg … into guanidinoacetate … then methylated on that middle N)

Creatinine
(breakdown product of creatine-P)

Acetylcholine
(triple methylated N of choline plus acetyl grp)

carnitine
Phosphatidic Acid
phosphatidylcholine
- choline is the z group
- found in outer layer of lipid bilayer + in pulmonary surfactant, abundunant in brain + nerves
- AKA lecithin
Sphingosine
- found in various sphingolipids in cell membranes
- important in signaling as well
(looks like a glycerol with middle OH subbed by amino and 3rd H subbed by 15-C w/ double bond on first C)

Cholesterol

Cortisol

aldosterone

Estradiol

Testosterone

Progesterone

Cholic Acid
(dont confuse with cholesterol … has more -OH grps on its rings plus has -COOH on side chain rather than that branching of cholesterol)

B-hydroxy-B-methyl-glutarate
(AKA HMG as in HMG-CoA)
(the B OH and B -CH3 right in the middle of the molecule give it away)

acetoacetic acid
(basically just two acetic acids combined)

beta-hydroxy-butyrate
(OH on the beta carbon)

acetone

glycerol

diacylglycerol
glycerol backbone plus 2 FAs (R grps) connected via ester linkages
glycocholic acid
(dont confuse with cholesterol or cholic acid… that long side chain has a nitrogen from the glycine which is conjugated to cholic acid)

taurocholic acid
(dont confuse with… cholesterol OR cholic acid OR glycocholic acid…. there’s an S in there, ya big dummy)

Androstenedione

Propionic Acid

Cephalin
AKA phosphatidylethanolamine
(the longer name makes more sense… is a phosphatidic acid with ethanolamine attached at the P grp … R grps are fatty acids)
Know how to identify nucleotide AND deoxynucleotide mono, di and triphosphates…
basically just see if the ribose is 2-deoxy or not … then check what base it is… then see how many Ps
