POINTS TO REMEMBER

Biomolecules : All the carbon compounds that we get from living tissues.

Micromolecules : Molecules which have molecular weights less than one thou- sand dalton.

Amino acids : Organic compounds containing an amino group and one car- boxyl group (acid group) and both these groups are attached to the same carbon atom called α α α α α carbon.

Lipids :
• Water insoluble, containing C, H, O.
• Fats on hydrolysis yield fatty acids.
• Fatty acid has a carboxyl group attached to an R group (contains 1 to 19 carbons).
• Fatty

Acids : Saturated With single bonds in carbon chain. e.g., Palmitic acid, butyric acid.

Unsaturated : With one or more double bonds. e.g., oleic acid, linoleic acid.

Glycerol : A simple lipid, is trihydroxy propane.

• Some lipids have fatty acids esterified with glycerol.
• They can be monoglycerides, diglycerides and triglycerides.

• Phospholipids are compound lipids with phosphorus and a phosphory- lated organic compound e.g., Lecithin .

Nucleoside : Nitrogenous base + Sugar e.g., Adenosine, guanosine.

Nucleotide : Nitrogenous base + Sugar + Phosphate group. e.g., Adenylic acid, thymidylic acid.

Nucleic acid : Polymer of nucleotides - DNA and RNA.

Biomacromolecules : Biomolecules with molecular weights in the range of ten thousand daltons and above; found in acid insoluble fraction. Lipids are not strictly macromolecules as their molecular weights do not exceed 800 Da but form a part of the acid insoluble pool.

Proteins :
• Are polymers of aminoacids linked by peptide bond.
• Is a heteropolymer.
• For functions of proteins

(Refer Table 9.5, Page no. 147, NCERT, Text Book of Biology for Class XI. Structure of Proteins)

(a) Primary structure : Is found in the form of linear sequence of amino acids. First amino acid is called N-terminal amino acid and last amino acid is called C-terminal amino acid.

(b) Secondary structure : Polypeptide chain undergoes folding or coiling which is stabilized by hydrogen bonding. Right handed helices are observed. e.g., fibrous protein in hair, nails.

(c) Tertiary structure : Long protein chain is folded upon itself like a hollow wollen ball. Gives a 3-dimensional view of protein, e.g., myosin.

(d) Quaternary structure : Two or more polypeptides with their foldings and coilings are arranged with respect to each other. e.g., Human haemoglobin molecule has 4 peptide chains - 2a and 2b subunits.

Peptide bond : Formed between the carboxyl (-COOH) group of one amino acid and the amino (-NH ) group of the next amino acid with the elimination of water moeity.

2 Polysaccharides : Are long chain of sugars.

(a) Starch : Store house of energy in plant tissues. Forms helical second- ary structures.
(b) Cellulose : Polymer of glucose.
(c) Glycogen : Is a branched homopolymer, found as storage polysaccharide in animals.
(d) Insulin : Is a polymer of fructose.
(e) Chitin : Chemically modified sugar (amino-sugars) N-acetyl galac- tosamine. Form exoskeleton of arthropods.

Anabolic pathways : Lead to formation of more complex structure from a sim- pler structure with the consumption of energy. e.g., Protein from amino acids.

Catabolic pathway : Lead to formation of simpler structure from a complex structure. e.g., Glucose → Lactic Acid.

Balachander sahana serial songs. See more.At a time when TV serials were merely treated as stage plays shot with 3 cameras, here is the 'Eyakkunar Sigaram', fusing a visual approach with life-like characters, sharp witty dialogues and powerful sensitive performances, leaving the Tamil Television audiences stunned and gasping for more.For all those who experienced the 'Rail Sneham' magic during the period of its original telecast, this DVD is a treasure trove of nostalgia. Balachander.The era of Min Bimbangal in Tamil Television (1989 - 2005) was a golden era of riveting, taut, intelligent, engaging and meaningful serials, all lush with life.The oeuvre of Min Bimbangal encompassed a broad range of genres, including sitcoms, soaps, home-grown thrillers and chat shows; each show being trend setters par excellence. Balachander's Rail Sneham - Tamil Serial by K.BalachanderSwathi's Family Entertainer presents here the show that launched it all: 'Rail Sneham' created by the inimitable maestro K. For art enthusiasts and discerning audiences of all generations, this is a bench mark in silky and lovable entertainment.Credits:Cast: Nizhalgal Ravi, Indra, Amudha, Kavithalaya Krishnan othersMusic Songs: V.S.

Enzymes : Are biocatalysts.
• Almost all enzymes are proteins.
• Ribozomes - Nucleic acids that behave like enzymes.
• Has primary, secondary and tertiary structure.
• Active site of an enzyme is a crevice or pocket into which substrate fits.
• Enzymes get damaged at high temperatures.
• Enzymes isolated from thermophilic organisms (live under high temperatures) are thermostable.
• Enzymes accelerate the reactions many folds.
• Enzymes lower the activation energy of reactions.

(Fig. 9.6, Page no. 156, NCERT Text Book of Biology for Class XI).

• ES ES EP EP +→→+0001 where E = Enzyme, S = Substrate, P = Product.

Factors affecting enzyme activity :
(a) Temperature : Show highest activity at optimum temperature. Activity declines above and below the optimum value.
(b) pH : Enzymes function in a narrow range of pH. Highest activity at optimum pH.

(Fig. 9.7, Page no. 157, NCERT, Text Book of Biology for Class XI)

(c) Concentration of substrate : The velocity of enzymatic reaction rises with increase in substrate concentration till it reaches maximum ve- ). Further increase of substrate does not increase the rate of reaction as no free enzyme molecules are available to find with additional substrate. locity

V max Enzyme inhibition : When the binding of a chemical shuts off enzyme activity, the process is called inhibition and chemical is called inhibitor.

Competitive inhibition : Inhibitor closely resembles the substrate in its molecular structure and inhibits the enzyme activity. E.g., inhibition of succinic dehydrogenase by malonate.

Classification of enzymes :

Oxidoreductase/dehydrogenases : Catalyse oxidoreduction between 2 sub- strates.

Transferases : Catalyse transfer of a group between a pair of substrates.

Hydrolases : Catalyse hydrolysis of ester, ether, peptide, glycosidic, C-C, P-N bonds.

Lyases : Catalyse removal of groups from substrates by mechanisms other than hydrolysis.

Isomerases : Catalyse inter-conversion of optical, geometric or positional isomers.

Ligases : Catalyse linking together of 2 compounds. Cofactors : Non-protein constituents found to the enzyme to make it cata- lytically active. Protein portion of enzyme is called apoenzyme.

Cofactors :
• Prosthetic groups : Are organic compounds tightly bound to apoenzyme. E.g., haem in peroxydase and catalase.
• Co-enzymes : Organic compounds which has transient association with enzyme. E.g., NAD, NADP.
• Metal ions : Required for enzyme activity. Form coordination bond with side chains at active site and with substrate.

E.g., zinc is a co-factor for enzyme carboxypeptidase.

18. Nucleic acids : Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). DNA structure (Watson and Crick Model) : DNA is a right handed, double helix of two polynucleotide chains, having a major and minor groove. The two chains are antiparallel, and held together by hydrogen bonds (two between A and T and three between C and G). The backbone is formed by sugar-phosphatesugar chain. The nitrogen bases are projected more or less perpendicular to this backbone and face inside.
