Macromolecules

<h4>Biomolecules</h4>
<p>Organisms contain a wide variety of organic molecules with numerous functions which depend on the chemical structures and properties of these molecules. All organic molecules contain a carbon backbone and hydrogen atoms. The carbon atom is central in the formation of a vast variety of organic molecules ranging in size, shape and complexity; inorganic molecules on the other hand, generally have simpler structures. The outermost shell of a free carbon atom can accommodate eight electrons but is occupied by only four electrons, therefore it can form four covalent bonds and bond with up to four atoms. Alternatively, it can also bond with fewer atoms by forming double or triple bonds. This versatility of carbon atoms allows organic molecules to display intricate structures, such as chains, branches, and rings, among others.</p>
<p>Organic molecules that naturally occur in organisms are called biomolecules. Besides carbon and hydrogen, biomolecules also contain other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. In general, smaller units of biomolecules come together, as repetitive sequences, to form larger biomolecules. These small modular units of biomolecules are called monomers. Two monomers typically join each other to form a dimer through a process known as <em>dehydration synthesis</em>, which is simply the removal of a hydrogen atom from one monomer and a hydroxyl (OH<sup>-</sup>) ion from the other monomer to create a water molecule to be expelled out while linking the two monomers with a covalent bond. The reverse of this process is called <em>hydrolysis</em>, in which the molecule splits back into its original monomers with a water molecule providing a hydrogen atom to one monomer and a hydroxyl ion to the other. Many monomers can be attached together by dehydration to form polymers. Sometimes different polymers can come together to form even larger and more complex molecules, which are known as biological macromolecules.</p>
<p>Biomolecules are classified based on the elements that compose them, and their structure and function inside living organisms. Almost all biomolecules can be classified into one of the four general categories: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.</p>
<h4>Carbohydrates</h4>
<p>Carbohydrate simply means &#8220;carbon water&#8221; because these molecules are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms roughly in the ratio of 1:2:1. Carbohydrate monomers are known as monosaccharides, which are also referred to as <em>simple sugars</em>. Glucose (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>12</sub>O<sub>6</sub>) is the most common monosaccharide in living organisms and is a subunit of many polysaccharides. Numerous organisms also synthesize other six-carbon monosaccharides with the same chemical formula as glucose but slightly different structures, such as fructose and galactose. When two monosaccharides are linked together, they form disaccharides. For example, sucrose is composed of glucose and fructose, whereas lactose contains glucose and galactose. These monosaccharides and disaccharides are used for short-term energy storage in living organisms.  Maltose is another disaccharide that is made up of two glucose molecules and is usually formed when polysaccharide chains such as starch and glycogen are broken down during digestion. Starch is a polysaccharide that serves as an energy storage molecule in plants and is made up of two types of glucose polymers: amylose and amylopectin. Amylose constitutes 10-20% of starch and is a helical polymer of glucose. Amylopectin makes up the bulk of the starch and is a branched polymer of glucose. Glycogen is virtually the same as starch, however it is synthesized, stored and used in animal liver and muscle tissues.</p>
<p>Besides serving as energy stores, carbohydrates also have other functions in organisms. The five-carbon monosaccharides, ribose and deoxyribose, are integrated into the nucleic acid structure and are present in every living cell. Moreover, the polysaccharide cellulose, which is a long polymer made up of glucose, serves as a rigid structural material in plants. Humans do not have digestive enzymes to break down cellulose in food, which is also called dietary fiber. However, dietary fiber consumption helps to maintain a healthy gut flora, which in turn contributes to the health of digestive and immune systems<sup>1</sup>. Similar to plants, some animals and fungi use another polysaccharide, chitin, as a structural molecule. Arthropods use chitin to build and maintain their exoskeletons, whereas fungi incorporate it into their cell walls to maintain rigidity.</p>
<h4>Lipids</h4>
<p>The second class of biological macromolecules are lipids, which include fats, oils, and waxes. Lipids are hydrophobic molecules that are almost entirely made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Often, lipids are grouped in three major categories; triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids.</p>
<p>The most common type of lipid is triglycerides, which include fats from animals and oils from plants. Triglycerides generally serve as long-term energy storage molecules, except indigestible waxes, which are instead used as a waterproofing substance in both plants and animals. Triglycerides contain three fatty acid chains, which can be either saturated or unsaturated, connected to a glycerol molecule. Saturated fatty acid chains are linear molecules with a maximum number of hydrogen atoms, where every carbon in the chain is connected via a single bond. On the other hand, unsaturated fatty acid chains have kinks due to the presence of at least one double bond. Additionally, unsaturated fats can be &#8220;trans&#8221; fats if the hydrogens around the double bond oppose each other. While trans fats occur naturally, they are generated during industrial production of saturated vegetable oils with hydrogen. Similar to saturated fatty acids, trans fats stack very well due to their relative linearity. However, trans fats cause problems for human heart health, such as the damaging the lining of arteries and causing inflammation when digested<sup>2</sup>.</p>
<p>Phospholipids are similar to triglycerides, however, one of the fatty acid chains is replaced with a phosphate-containing polar group. Therefore, phospholipids have a hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic fatty acid tails. These properties of phospholipids are crucial to the cell membrane structure and function.</p>
<p>Steroids are lipids that are composed of fused carbon rings with varying functional groups. Cholesterol is a steroid that is also a cell membrane component. Moreover, cholesterol is used to synthesize other steroids, including sex hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. Although cholesterol is essential for cell membrane structure and hormone synthesis, high levels of plasma cholesterol are implicated in plaque accumulation inside blood vessels and causing coronary disease<sup>3</sup>.</p>
<h4>Proteins</h4>
<p>The third class of biological macromolecules are proteins, which are made up of chains of amino acids. There are 20 different amino acids, all with a similar base structure but each has a unique side chain called an &#8216;R-group&#8217;. A single amino acid has an N-terminal end which is an amino group (NH<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup>) and a C-terminal end which is a carboxyl group (-COOH). These groups link together, N-terminal to C-terminal, in a chain connected by peptide bonds. Proteins are important for maintaining body functions as enzymes, hormones, structural components and transport molecules, and play vital roles in muscle contractibility, immunity and blood clotting. However, issues can arise in protein structure and function, and these issues are often genetic. For instance, normal red blood cells are round, but in people affected by sickle cell anemia, cells have a curved shape with an exposed hydrophobic region, caused by a mutation in a protein called hemoglobin S. This shape reduces the capacity to carry oxygen and causes the cells to get stuck in blood vessels. This results in many detrimental symptoms to the person carrying the mutation, and people who inherit two copies of the sickle cell gene often suffer ill effects or even possibly die because of the reduced capacity of sickled cells to transport oxygen. In a twist, those carrying only one copy of the gene are resistant to infection from malaria, so the disease has been able to be passed on and persists in countries with elevated levels of malaria infections<sup>4</sup>.</p>
<h4>Nucleic Acids</h4>
<p>The fourth class of biological macromolecules are the nucleic acids, which are composed of monomers known as nucleotides. These monomers are composed of three parts: a phosphate group, a ribose sugar and a nitrogen base. Nucleotides differ from each other by their nitrogen bases and the type of ribose they contain.  Single nucleotides generally act as energy carriers inside cells, as well as function as messenger molecules. However, the nucleotide polymers or nucleic acids such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or ribonucleic acid (RNA) are hereditary molecules that contain the genetic information to construct cellular products.</p>
<h4>Macromolecule Detection</h4>
<p>Biological macromolecules in food or other substances can be detected by using their specific chemical properties. For example, monosaccharides have free aldehyde (-CHO) or ketone (-C=O) groups that can reduce other compounds, meaning they are substances that cause other molecules to lose electrons, thus monosaccharides are also known as <em>reducing sugars</em>. This property is used to detect the presence of monosaccharides with an indicator called Benedict&#8217;s reagent.  This indicator contains copper ions (Cu<sup>2+</sup>) which are reduced by monosaccharides as observed with a change of the solution color from blue to a reddish orange, though the intensity of the color varies based on the original concentration of the reducing sugar. As such, observation of a green color means that there is only a small amount of reducing sugars present in the solution. Amylose in starch exists in a coiled structure because of the bond angles in the polymer chain. The iodine indicator, iodine-potassium iodide (IKI), reacts with these coiled molecules and will turn the solution a dark bluish-black to indicate the presence of amylose. However, if starch amylose isn&#8217;t present, the reaction will not take place, and the solution will remain a yellowish-brown color.  A Sudan IV test is performed to test for the presence of lipids. This dye is lipophilic and solubilizes when lipids are present, thus a red color is retained in the presence of lipids. Biuret&#8217;s reagent, an indicator for the presence of proteins, contains copper ions (Cu<sup>2+</sup>) which react with the peptide bonds and turn the solution from blue to dark violet color. This reagent needs to react with a sufficient number of these peptide bonds to produce the expected violet color, so a pinkish color will result if the amino acid chains are not long enough.</p>

	<p>In this section of the lab, you will use TLC to compare how well pure hexane and a mixture of 60% hexane and 40% ethyl acetate can separate phenol, benzoic acid, and butyl phenyl ether by measuring the distance the compound traveled in each solvent.</p>
	<ul class="lab-items">
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-2">
		<div class="lab-step">Before starting the lab, put on a lab coat, safety glasses, and nitrile gloves. Note: Hexane and ethyl acetate are both volatile, toxic, and flammable, so always work with them in a fume hood. Change your gloves if you get solvent on them, as hexane and ethyl acetate will permeate nitrile gloves within minutes.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-3">
		<div class="lab-step">Now, obtain a paper towel and lay it on the benchtop. Carefully pick up a TLC plate using tweezers at the very end of the plate.<strong> Note: </strong>Always hold TLC plates by the edges or at the very top with tweezers to avoid damaging or contaminating the silica gel.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-4">
		<div class="lab-step">Look for chips or scratches in the silica gel and get a new plate if necessary. It&#39;s fine if there is a little chipping at only one end, since that can be the top.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-5">
		<div class="lab-step">Place the plate on the paper towel in your fume hood, and lay a metric ruler next to it. Use a graphite pencil to gently make a small mark on the silica gel ~1 cm from the top of the plate. Write &#8216;100&#8217; on the plate above the mark.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-6">
		<div class="lab-step">Next, gently mark the plate 1 cm above the bottom on both sides. Carefully trace a straight line between the bottom marks to make the starting line.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-7">
		<div class="lab-step">Then, add 3 evenly spaced small marks to the starting line with the outer marks at least 0.5 cm from the sides of the plate. <strong>Note:</strong> It&#39;s important for the silica gel to be undamaged here, so if you scratch it with the pencil, prepare a new plate.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-8">
		<div class="lab-step">Now, trace the outline of the TLC plate in your lab notebook and precisely copy the marks on the plate. Label the three marks as &#8216;phenol&#8217;, &#8216;benzoic acid&#8217;, and &#8216;butyl phenyl ether&#8217;. You may also want to label the marks on the plate itself.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-9">
		<div class="lab-step">Prepare a second TLC plate labeled &#8216;60/40&#8217; in the same way. Now, bring the labeled plates to the common bench and locate the 1 mg/mL solutions of phenol, benzoic acid, and butyl phenyl ether in ethanol.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-10">
		<div class="lab-step">Dip a clean capillary into one of the three solutions. Briefly and lightly dab the capillary squarely against the intersection between the starting line and the mark for that compound. You should spot twice for each compound.</div>

		<li data-sub-note-item="1-11">
		<div class="lab-step">Use the same capillary to spot the same solution on your second TLC plate. The spots should be no more than 2 mm in diameter. Then, discard the capillary and close the vial.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-12">
		<div class="lab-step">Spot the other two solutions on the plates, in the same way, using clean capillaries. Be careful not to cross-contaminate the solutions. <strong>Note</strong>: If a spot is very light or very small, wait for it to dry, and then spot the same solution on top of the dry spot. If the spot is still wet, capillary action could make it too wide and dilute.</div>
		</li>
		<li data-sub-note-item="1-13">
		<div class="lab-step">Once you have made three spots on each plate, discard the capillaries and bring the plates back to your hood. Keep the plates lying flat while they dry.</div>

		<li data-sub-note-item="1-21">
		<div class="lab-step">Leave the jar still as the solvent travels up the plate. Development in pure hexane usually takes about 7 &#8211; 10 min. Keep an eye on the plate to make sure that the solvent doesn&#39;t reach the top.</div>

		<li data-sub-note-item="1-22">
		<div class="lab-step">When the pure hexane solvent front is about 1 cm from the top of the plate, retrieve it using tweezers.

		<div class="lab-step">Wait 3 &#8211; 4 min for the iodine vapor to stay in the spots. Then, retrieve the plate with tweezers, close the chamber, and outline the brown and yellow spots on the plate. These spots will fade, so mark them quickly.</div>

	<p>Buffers can be used to evaluate compounds at specific pH values. In this section, you will record the absorbance spectrum of the indicator neutral red in various buffers. The protonated form of neutral red is red, and the deprotonated form is yellow-orange, meaning that they absorb green and blue-violet light, respectively. Thus, the acidic and basic forms have distinct absorption wavelengths. Protein binding alters the properties of neutral red, changing both its absorbance and its pKa.</p>
	<p>After measuring the absorbance spectrum of free neutral red at several pH values, you will add riboflavin-binding protein, or RP, to the solutions and measure the absorbances again. Absorbance intensity is related to concentration, so you will use the spectra to determine the pKa of free and bound neutral red after the lab.</p>

		<div class="lab-step">Draw the following table in your lab notebook. Number the cuvettes 1 through 10 and list the nine buffer pH values that you will use. The 10th cuvette will be a deionized water blank. <strong> Note: </strong>Always hold cuvettes by the textured sides and wipe the transparent sides just before putting the cuvette in the spectrophotometer. Remember to align the transparent sides with the beam of light in the spectrophotometer.

	<p>In this experiment, you will combine varying concentrations of aqueous HCl and sodium thiosulfate to make solid sulfur, which rapidly gathers into opaque yellow particles at a certain sulfur concentration. Since the reaction solution starts clear and colorless, you can easily tell when it reaches that concentration.</p>
	<p>You&#39;ll use the same test tube and total volume each time, so it will take the same amount of sulfur to make each solution completely opaque. Thus, you&#39;ll measure the reaction progress by timing how long that takes. You&#39;ll then use that data to estimate the reaction orders of the individual reactants and of the overall reaction.</p>
	<p>Before starting the lab, make a table listing the reactant concentrations, the time to solution opacity, and the solution temperature for the trials.</p>

	<p>In this part of the lab, you&#39;ll purify acetanilide by recrystallization from an aqueous solution. Acetanilide is moderately soluble in boiling water, but it&#39;s much less soluble in room temperature and cold water. Aniline, a potential impurity, is much more soluble in room temperature water. Thus, you&#39;ll first make a saturated solution of acetanilide in boiling water. Then, you&#39;ll slowly cool the solution to room temperature.</p>
	<p>As the acetanilide&#39;s solubility decreases, it will slowly form flat colorless or white crystals. Water-soluble impurities will remain in solution. You will then cool the solution to further decrease the solubility of acetanilide. Finally, you&#39;ll recover the crystals with vacuum filtration and measure the melting point of your crystals.</p>

The molecules will absorb light at wavelengths that correspond to the energies needed to excite their electrons and scatter or transmit the rest.</p>

	<p>First, look at the spectra of the three dyes. Fluorescein in water absorbs blue and purple light, with the maximum absorbance at 490 nm. It does not absorb red light, and it only absorbs some yellow and green light. Consistent with this, solid fluorescein is red, and fluorescein solutions are usually yellow to green.</p>
	<p>&#946;-carotene also absorbs blue and purple light. The maximum absorbance of &#946;-carotene in hexane is 450 nm, and you&#39;ll see another large peak at 478 nm. The strong absorption of purple light is part of why &#946;-carotene appears orange.</p>
	<p>Indigo in DMF absorbs UV light and red, orange, and yellow light, with a distinct peak at 611 nm. Thus, indigo dye reflects primarily blue and purple light, giving it its characteristic color.</p>

<button class="expand">Expand</button><ul class="lab-items"><li data-sub-note-item="2-1"><div class="lab-step">NOTE: Before cells can pass through all of the stages of the cell cycle there are several checkpoints they must go through. These checkpoints are regulated by cyclin and cyclin-dependent kinase proteins, or CDKs. If the cyclins and CDKs determine that previous cellular events have not been adequately completed they will arrest the cells at this step and prevent them from proliferating. In cancer cells one or several of these molecular restraints for regulating cell division are lost and this allows the damaged cells to escape from cell proliferation control. These abnormal cells develop into tumors which are masses of uncontrolled proliferating cells that interfere with the normal functions of the body. Notice how before it divides this cancer cell rounds up and refracts light very strongly under the light microscope. This is because not all cancer cells successfully divide into daughter cells after each round of mitosis. This will mean that they often contain an excess of organelles and DNA and this increase in cellular content means they will refract light more intensely than normal cells do.

Do not touch your face while performing the experiment. Always wash your hands before and after every experiment.
</div></li><li data-sub-note-item="1-2"><div class="lab-step">When you are ready to safely begin, check to make sure you have a tube or tubes of competent <em>E. coli</em> cells in your ice bucket.

HYPOTHESES: The experimental hypothesis is that on plates containing no antibiotic, bacteria with or without the plasmid can survive, and so both will grow lawns of bacteria. Conversely, on the plates containing the ampicillin antibiotic, only the bacteria successfully transformed with the resistance plasmid will grow, whereas the minus plasmid plates will contain no bacteria. The null hypothesis of this experiment is that there will be no difference in bacterial growth between the plates.
