2-3-16 Biochem class (important for mechanisms later on in the course)

acetic acid (ethanoic acid)

pyruvate acid (pyruvate is o- on OH) ******

Tautomerization
(enol form of pyruvate is -OH , =O, -O )
Phosphoenolpyruvate is O-HPO3, =O, -O
RECAP

Oxaloacetate acid is made from acetic acid and pyruvate

Dicarboxylic acid (OMSGAP): (<-mneumonic)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dicarboxylic_acid#Linear_saturated_dicarboxylic_acids

Oxalic acid (no CH2s in between C=Os)

Malonic acid (one CH2s in between C=Os)

Succinic acid (two CH2s in between C=Os)

Glutaric acid (three CH2s in between C=Os)

Adipic acid (four CH2s in between C=Os)

Pimelic acid (five CH2s in between C=Os)

Bicarbonate is a buffer than will NOT let the pH level go above 8

Structure of lactate:
(basically a reduced form of pyruvate)
LDH is lactate dehydrogenase

NEED TO KNOW STRUCTURE OF CITRIC ACID, GLUTARATE ACID STRUCTURE, etc

(slide 22) and relate that to oxaloacetate!! (citric acid cycle)

NADH

NADH and NADPH is 5 to 5, DNA is 5 to 3. The

substitutents of NADH and NADPH is connected to 1 carbons
MEMORIZING NUCLEOTIDES
NH2 on purine is adenine (apple to adenine xD) (left side top-ortho)
OH on purine and NH2 on left benzene ring is guanine (guanine is goose) (left side
top-ortho is OH, left side meta is NH2)

Pyrimidines later on
Which hydride is involved in NADH/NADPH reaction?
