Hyrdoxyl/Alcohol R-O-H |
-Contain an -OH group -Polar Bonds -Hydrophillic t/f: dissolves in water |
|
Sulfhydryl R-S-H |
-SH = polar -Hydrophobic: 'S' is electronegative -used to maintain protein shape } doesn't dissolve in water |
|
Carbonyl R-C-R =O or R-C-H =O |
-double O bond = polar, hydrophobic (O is electronegative) |
|
Carboxyl R-C-OH =O or R-C-O- =O |
Carboxylic Acid = -COOH -polar -hydrophobic -electronegative |
|
Ester R-C-O-R =O |
-form triglycerides which protect, insulate and store energy -electronegative -polar t/f hydrophobic |
|
Phosphate -O- R-O-P-O- =O |
-polar -hydrophobic -electronegative Important example: ATP (adrenosine phosphate) which transfers chemical energy during reactions |
|
Amino R-N-H -H Or R-N+-H -H -H |
-NH2/NH3 (base) group -positive (*) -solube in water = hydrophillic |
