Q

Know how to identify nucleotide AND deoxynucleotide mono, di and triphosphates…

A

basically just see if the ribose is 2-deoxy or not … then check what base it is… then see how many Ps

28
glucose-6-phosphate (alpha D)
29
galactose
30
**Acetylcholine** (triple methylated N of choline plus acetyl grp)
31
xanthine | (purine with 2 oxo grps)
32
gln neutral, polar - contains **carboxamide** (carboxyl w/ NH2 replacing OH) attached to _second_ CH2
33
acetone
34
asp acidic, polar - side chain is **carboxyl** after one CH2
35
Ornithine (dont confuse with Lys! ... Lys has one more -CH2- in its R group)
36
Cholesterol 26C
37
**cAMP** (note the cyclized phosphate and ribose and the single amino grp on the purine = adenine)
38
tyr neutral, polar aromatic - side chain is **phenol**
39
oxaloacetate OXA 4C, shitload of keto groups
40
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)
41
trp neutral, polar aromatic - contains an **indole** (benzene + pyrrole) group attached to -CH2 via the double bonded C of its pyrrole furthest from the N
42
**norepinephrine** (decarboxylated and double hydroxylated tyrosine)
43
Estradiol female sex hormones are 18C compounds w OH- group. Estradiol has add terminal -OH (estrone has =O)
44
diacylglycerol glycerol backbone plus 2 FAs (R grps) connected via _ester_ linkages
45
val neutral, nonpolar - one of the 3 **branched-chain** AAs
46
adenine | (purine with only an amino grp)
47
Hydroxyproline
48
**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)
49
Beta Alanine | (alanine with amino in beta position)
50
gamma carboxy glutamate
51
**cGMP** (note the cyclized P and ribose, plus the =O and -NH2 on the purine means guanine)
52
lys basic, polar - pka of side chain is **more** basic than amine - side chain is an **amino** group after four CH2s
53
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)
54
**ethanolamine** | (ethanol with an amine... ya big idiot)
55
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)
56
met neutral, nonpolar - S comes after _two_ CH2s
57
succinate
58
acetic acid
59
cytosine | (pyrimidine with amino and oxo)

61
hypoxanthine | (purine with only one oxo grp)
62

64
carnitine
65
