How many people could 4 Billion
naturally occuring
nitrogen in the world
feed?
Who was able to get Fritz Haber
"bread from air" using
nitrogen from the air as
fertilizer
-Chemically only less than a dollar
How much is a human -Looking at the chemical components like tissues,
worth? organs, and biomolecules have an estimated value
of $45 000 000
, What is the next best Silicon
candidate as the
chemical foundation of
life?
-C-C bonds are stronger than S-S bonds
-C-C bonds release more energy on combustion
Why does Carbon work
than S-S bonds
better than Silicon?
-Combustion of C-C bonds are soluble and remain
active in biosphere
The collective properties of functional groups
What do functional
determine the structure, function, and propeties of
groups determine?
the biomolecule
What does Molecular function, complex biology, and rational
understanding the development of treatments
structure-function
relationship of
biomolecules help
predict?
Flexible spatial arrangment of atoms within a
Conformation
molecule (changeable without breaking bonds)
Fixed spatial arrangement of atoms with a molecule
Configuration (Not changeable unless covalent bond is broken)
-Conferredby either double bonds or chiral centers
(Cis-trans) Same chemical formula but different
Geometric Isomers configuration of groups attached to a non-rotating
double bond
Cis Same side of double bond
Trans Opposite side of double bond
4 different substituents attach to a single carbon
Chiral Carbon that can be arranged differently in space creating 2
stereoisomers
Biomolecules are often constructed from one
Construction
stereoisomer
