Isomers
|
Compounds that have the same numbers of atoms of the same elements but different structures and hence different properties.
|
|
|
Structural Isomers
|
differ in the covalent arrangements of their atoms, may also differ in the location of double bonds. (Different arrangement = different properties)
|
|
|
Geometric Isomers
|
differ in arrangement about a double bond. (ex of 2 ex on same side= cis isomer, x's are on opp side= trans isomer.)
|
|
|
Enantiomers
|
molecules that are mirror images of each other. L and D isomer. Their shapes affect which is active and inactive, or effectivness.
|
|
|
Functional Groups
|
a specific configuration of atoms commonly attached to the carbon skeletons of organic molecules and usually involved in chemical reactions.
|
|
|
ATP
|
an adenine-containing nucleoside triphosphate that releases free energy when its phosphate bonds are hydrolyzed. This energy is used to drive endergonic reactions into cells.
