The last Neanderthal lived around 30,000 years ago, our recently demised cousins. And, therefore, we imagine, if we look at what's called a, space-filling model, and a space-filling model really is. and on the outside of the vesicle water can be stored. For example, let's imagine a, situation where we have an ionized acid group of the sort we just, here, let's say I'll draw the negative charge on one of these two, oxygens, if you can see that. And here we see this space filling model. our attentions today in terms of actual biochemistry. Freely browse and use OCW materials at your own pace. MIT students who take the corresponding residential class … Finally, we will cover the general ideas of both cyclic and non-cyclic photophosphorylation and how these two processes are used by cells to generate the ATP and the NADPH needed for the Calvin Cycle in photosynthesis. In fact, what we see from this drawing, expertly drawn by yours, truly, is that the hexose molecule isn't really a linear molecule in, solution. Here's what it looks like under the electron microscope and here's what, it looks like when a talented rather than hapless and hopeless artist, like myself tries to draw it. Lab lecture: Biochemistry (Room 4-465) Introductory Lect. Now, the fact of the matter is we can do other kinds of modifications of a glycerol like this. Probably good to have a screen down. Important because polar molecules, such as water like this, are able to dissolve certain compounds. Esterification is the kind of linkage that we just showed here. In fact, even though this does not involve the expenditure of energy on, the part of the cell, the cell may actually use a gating. And the most familiar way by which. And amino acids, ATP, glucose 6 phosphate, highly hydrophilic, can also not go through. Permeability obviously refers to, the ability of this membrane to obstruct or to allow the migration, Ions, and these ions we see right here are obviously highly. Well, if we think about this hexose, as existing in a plane, or the hexagon is in a plane, In this case the oxygen is above the plane and the hydrogen is below the, plane. Here is, by the way, glycogen. And this ordering represents a loss of chaos, a loss of entropy. This is called a lipid bilayer. The Resource Index compiles links to most course resources in a single page. Just to indicate to you that the, hydrogen atoms are not really the possession, the ownership of one, molecule of water. A vesicle is, more complicated than a micelle. This is one of the great energy sources from plants. Why? hydrophilic by virtue of their charge. become even more hydrophilic if we look at a molecule like this. It may just be through diffusion. Imagine that. And let's move onto the next layer, of complexity. And here we have, once again, a situation where the oxygen is far more avid in terms of its willingness and interest in pulling electrons toward itself. the ability to make lactose through adulthood. The same can be said of glucose, which happens to be a carbohydrate. Here's what it looks like under the electron microscope and here's what it looks like when a talented rather than hapless and hopeless artist like myself tries to draw it. When the channels are closed then the ions cannot move through. It depends. Many of you have had this already. And now it finally arrives and they go to town, ad they start metabolizing it and they ferment and they produce lots. They'll say, well, we've been working on that and we'll get you an answer in the next five or ten years. MIT … And these things, the aliphatic, portion hates to be in water. And that really is stunning testimonial to the fact that under very difficult conditions, nonetheless, complex biological molecules are able to survive over astounding periods of time, indeed those that are held together by the covalent bonds like this. Well, in this case we're talking, about a situation here where we have a carbon atom over here like this, with a hydroxyl group. And biochemists take the orientation of these hydroxyl and, hydrogen groups very seriously. Biological function at the molecular level is particularly emphasized and covers the structure and regulation of genes, as well as the structure and synthesis of proteins, how these … A gentleman you are. This is the dominant sugar in milk sugar, lactose. cells, just to site some arbitrary examples. When the channels are gated open then diffusion can take over and insure the transfer, the transportation of ions from one side to the other. So here's a fatty acid. Here we have fructose and we have galactose. Here's what we saw just before. Finally, you will have a greater understanding of the reactions in cellular respiration and photosynthesis, when they occur, and why they are important. Follow the "Office Hours" link for days and times. So there's a high degree of stereospecificity as it's called in, the trade. Here you saw the two tails I drew before in that diagram. And one of the carbons is relegated, is exiled to outside of, the circle. We believe here at MIT of teaching things two or three times often. If you imagine that each one of these hydroxyls. plants. two tails. For example, here, if we have a carbon and a hydrogen, these two atoms are roughly equally matched in terms of their ability to. Triglyceride refers to the fact. And that really is stunning testimonial to the fact that under, very difficult conditions, nonetheless, complex biological. electronegative charge here, the charge of one electron, and this proton will have ionized, will have left the carboxylic group, in which it originated, and now we have an ionized acid. And, as we'll see over this lecture and the next one, these hydrophobic and hydrophilic tendencies tend to have great affects on the overall behavior of molecules. Now, having said that, we can begin to look at yet other higher level structures. or ten years. And many of the membranes that we see within the cytoplasms themselves. » Knowledge is your reward. In recent years, OCW has substantially increased its video content. We believe here at MIT of teaching things two or three times often, the same subject matter, but at increasing levels of sophistication. And for some weird quirk of human, history, a significant proportion of humanity has learned how to retain. Biochemistry Free and Easy is a free textbook incorporating original songs, recordings, verses and links to over 100 video lectures. When the channels are gated open then diffusion can take over and, insure the transfer, the transportation of ions from one. with that background in mind, let's begin to elaborate on it, on how we can make molecules that have interesting properties that, enable them, among other things, to participate in the construction, of lipid bilayers, which will be the first object of. And now what we've done is add insult to injury because in the absence of this phosphate it would have a hydroxyl here which is mildly hydrophilic. all of a sudden order becomes chaotic. Gases can go right through. And here we can see about the, semi-permeability, how permeable these membranes are to, different kinds of molecules. But, nonetheless, sufficient to, give a very weak interaction between these two molecules which may, persist only for a microsecond and then be dissipated because the. Here's a vesicle. Now, you can say they're a bit, But, nonetheless, we can admit that the specific, orientations of all these things dictate very importantly the, difference between here, in this case sucrose, and in this, case lactose. Here we have this unequal sharing. Biology And let's move onto the next layer of complexity. Every five years I ask a class to see who knows what the second meaning of hydrophobia is. And, in fact, if we talk about an, ionized acid, normally in the absence of ionization there would be, a net zero charge right here. were to reintroduce a water molecule into each of these three linkages, one, two and three, we would break the bond and cause this entire, structure to revert to the two precursors that existed or. What's different about them? from the fact that if we were to have, for example. And so you will have these two quasi-polar arrangements here and here, very ephemeral, that is lasting for a very short transient period of time. And thermodynamics tells us that generally the ordering of molecules, is disfavored. And they got out of. Knowledge is your reward. And under such situations, if we put thousands of these or millions of these molecules into a solution of water, what we will then see is, no pointer? Thank you, sir. Because here, for the first time, we talk about polymerization. You will also look at some medical literature, and will be taught to recognize the kind of biochemistry you find there. It's disorder. Because if you look at the membrane lining the vesicle, you see it's actually a lipid bilayer, but one that in 3-dimensional space is actually a sphere. We don't have a special chemistry. It's only one order of magnitude. And, therefore, the carbon gives up a little bit of the electron cloud and it becomes slightly electropositive. reasons why this molecule doesn't like to be in the midst of water. And, therefore, a hydrogen bond formed between these, two. And they were analyzing the DNA sequences. And it turns out we have more bacterial cells in our gut than we. All right. And we can call it that, too. The aliphatic molecule, as one would call this in organic chemistry, doesn't like to be in. Indeed they probably are. obviously, between 300,000 and 150 million year ago. lipid bilayers are reasonably permeable to water. Now, the fact of the matter is this also affords the cell the ability to segregate contents on one or the other side of whatever lipid bilayer it happens to have constructed. MIT Lecture 6 5.07 Biochemistry Lecture - Free download as Powerpoint Presentation (.ppt), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or view presentation slides online. And, for example, to the extent that glucose is used in different kinds of energy metabolism and to the extent that galactose is not, there must be certain biochemical mechanisms in which one has catalysts, the catalysts that we call enzymes that ensure that one can convert one of these hexoses through an enzyme into, let's say a less useful one into a more useful one, glucose, which can readily be burnt up by the energy-generating machinery. Lecture 3 handout . but we don't need to worry about that word. nitrogen, and so it likes to attract protons to it. So let me just mention. the same subject matter, but at increasing levels of sophistication. But. Here's what we saw just before. And, therefore, just to take some illustrations out of the book, this is the way it's illustrated in the book. Here, And, as a consequence of that, this really likes to stick its head, inside water. apparatus, which I mentioned to you in passing last time we met, each one of these membranes here, it's obviously drawn as a double. And here energy is not being. But, nonetheless, sufficient to give a very weak interaction between these two molecules which may persist only for a microsecond and then be dissipated because the charges then redistributed once again. Now, the fact of the matter is we. And this molecule is therefore, called a polar molecule by virtue of the fact that here it has a positive, pole and here it has a negative pole. And this begins to give us clues as to why certain molecules are soluble in water and others are insoluble. Here we have this unequal sharing of electropositive and electronegative bonds. Diels-Alder I (Prof. Klibanov) Feb. 15 Note: the special day/time/plac e Electronic Literature Search-II (Erja Kajosalo: Reference Coordinator, Chemistry Librarian 617 253-9795; kajosalo@mit.edu) Lecture time: 1:00 P.M.-2:00 P.M.; 14N-132 Feb. 16 Asymm. Your donation can help fund more OCW video. the details, but you can begin to imagine. Video Lectures . And so the end product of dehydrating this, pulling out one net molecule of water is that we end up with a. biological membranes. And, indeed, represents the reason why water does not vaporize at room temperature because the water molecules have a strong affinity or an avidity for one another. Gases can go right through. Displaying all 28 video lectures. Here is really one of the most important carbohydrate molecules, glucose. And, as a consequence of that, one has very weak interactions which, in the great scheme of things, play only a very minor role in the overall energy which holds molecules together. And what we see here is, by the way, that we have exactly the same number of carbon atoms and hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms but they're hooked up slightly differently. And, in fact, if we talk about an ionized acid, normally in the absence of ionization there would be a net zero charge right here. The galactose can be readily, converted into glucose, and glucose is the universal, currency of carbohydrate energy. Just by chance. molecules have a strong affinity or an avidity for one another. And keep in mind that this delta I show here is only a fraction of an, electronic charge. They only have five, to state the obvious. And we can call it that, too. in real life, whatever that is at the molecular level, is that this hydrogen atom may actually be bouncing back and forth, between these two oxygens. side to the other. Steric or stereochemistry refers to the 3-dimensional structure of a, molecule. Biochemistry, Biophysics, and Structural Biology genome replication and maintenance • transcription • RNA splicing • protein synthesis and folding • protein sorting • protein structure and design • macromolecular machines • enzymology • metalloproteins • metabolism • molecular modeling • signal transduction • drug design • glycobiology To be able to breakdown the. I, in effect, drew you the structure of a fatty acid up here already once before. For example, here, if we have a carbon and a hydrogen, these two atoms are roughly equally matched in terms of their ability to pull electrons away, one from the other. In fact, virtually all the energy, that is expended in our brain, almost all of it is expended to, power the ion pumps which are constantly insuring that the, concentrations of certain ions on the outside and the inside of. Here we see a carbon bond to a hydroxyl here via this oxygen atom. And here's common table sugar. are actually constructed on this kind of design. But they cannot break this down. There are largely of. And, indeed, represents the reason, why water does not vaporize at room temperature because the water. But the truth of the matter is, if one wants to get frank, that oxygen molecules, and we always are here, that oxygen molecules have a greater affinity for electrons than do hydrogen atoms, i.e., they are electronegative. hydroxyl side chains which are just waiting around to participate, if the opportunity allows them, in some kind of esterification. terms of molecules represents carbohydrates. And what we're doing is we're dehydrating this, we're pulling out one net molecule of water. You will understand the relationships between cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Here are two negative charges, one electron each. in hydrogen bonding to the water solvent here, i. Glycerol, which we talked about before, is also considered in one sense a. carbohydrate, but it's been called by some people a triose. it loves to be in water, the other end of it hates to be in water. Lecture 4 slides (PDF - 1.8 MB) Lec 5: Site directed mutagenesis (Quikchange method) Lecture 5 handout : Lec 6: Detecting kinase activity: Lecture 6 handout . preexisted prior to these three esterification reactions. And nonpolar molecules, which have large arrays of these kinds of bonds or carbon-carbon bonds, these are relatively insoluble in water, and that has important consequences for the organization of biological membranes. And, obviously, it's highly effective for separately these two aqueous compartments. This is called a lipid bilayer. intended to show us what one imagines if one had this vision, which we don't have, how much space each of these atoms would actually, And here we see this space filling model. molecules that have carboxyl group on it would be called hydrophilic. down the sucrose but it will not touch lactose. When I say cyclize, obviously I mean to form a circular structure. But they cannot break this down. These molecules function, And, for example, to the extent that glucose is used, in different kinds of energy metabolism and to the extent that, galactose is not, there must be certain biochemical, mechanisms in which one has catalysts, the catalysts that we, call enzymes that ensure that one can convert one of these hexoses, through an enzyme into, let's say a less useful one into a, more useful one, glucose, which can readily be burnt, up by the energy-generating machinery. And you can imagine, therefore, in principal that there are certain biochemical mechanisms which indeed exist which enable one to join two glycerol molecules, one to the other, to create something like a hexose, glucose. Now, let's get a little bit more. And we end up expending a lot of energy to keep these ion gradients in appropriate concentrations on the outside and the inside. Now, in fact, there are two directions here in this kind of reaction. Again. This lipid molecule here is, actually slightly kinked with its hydrophilic head tucked into the, water space. This is a bit hydrophobic. charged carbon here in order to form this cyclic structure. Courses And what should we note about glucose? And what we can see is through a linkage known as, esterification we can create this molecule. The positive here will attract electrons down here. Well, in this case we're talking about a situation here where we have a carbon atom over here like this with a hydroxyl group. All kinds of unpleasant things happen when they actually, drink milk. See you on Monday. Instructor. energy sources from plants. So it turns out that the enzyme lactase is made in large amounts by most mammals very early in life. And then, for the rest of their lives, whenever they have a milk, containing product, in fact, my son is also lactose. So let's just say that's our intro into lipids and membranes. the inside of the vesicle water is kept, can be stored. exchanged back and forth. Again, much of the thermodynamic, stability that allows these vesicles to remain intact rather than just, diffuse apart is created by these hydrophilic and hydrophobic forces. We will outline the cellular mechanisms for harvesting energy from glucose and related sugars, briefly outline glycolysis as a mechanism to generate ATP, and discuss the fate of the pyruvate produced in glycolysis under anaerobic and aerobic conditions. It's what happens, let's say, at 10:55 when we all leave the room. And we end up expending a lot of, energy to keep these ion gradients in appropriate concentrations on the, outside and the inside. can do other kinds of modifications of a glycerol like this. going to pursue in much greater detail next time. This structure down here, the lipid bilayer, is actually, as, we will discuss in greater detail shortly, the overall topology of the. With a team of extremely dedicated and quality lecturers, biochemistry lectures will not only be a place to share knowledge but also to help students get inspired to explore and discover many creative ideas from themselves. And, therefore, just to take some illustrations out of the book. And so here's actually the way that many biological membranes look in terms of the way that they are constructed. Because if you look at the membrane, lining the vesicle, you see it's actually a lipid, bilayer, but one that in 3-dimensional space is actually a, sphere. And, as we'll see over this lecture and the next one, these hydrophobic and hydrophilic tendencies tend to have great. It's just implied by the end of, this line.
