Biomolecules
The branch of chemistry that deals with the molecules involved in living system, is called
Biochemistry. Carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins and nucleic acids are some of the major components
of our body. These are collectively called Biomolecules.

their behaviour on hydrolysis.


() Monosaccharides These cannot be hydrolysed further to give simpler unit of polyhydroxy
aldehyde or ketone, e.g. glucose, fructose.
(i) Oligosaccharides These yield two to ten monosaccharide units on hydrolysis. They are further
classified as di, tri, tetra saccharides etc., depending upon the number of monosaccharides they
provide on hydrolysis.
(ii) Polysaccharides They yield a large number of monosaccharide units on hydrolysis, e.g. starch
cellulose, glycogen.
All the monosaccharides and disaccharides are sweet in taste, so called sugars. All monosaccharides and
disaccharides (except sucrose) reduces Fehling's solution or Tollen's reagent hence, are called reducing
sugars. In these sugars, aldehydic and ketonic groups are free. If the reducing groups, i.e. aldehydic or
ketonic groups are bonded, these are called non-reducing sugars, e.g. sucrose. These sugars do not
reduces Tollen's or Fehling's solution.
All carbohydrates are optically active as they contain one or more asymmetric (i.e. chiral) carbon atom.

CHAPTER 13 Biomolecules 355

Structure of Proteins
Structure of proteins can be studied at four levels. Primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary.
(i) The sequence in which the various amino acids are linked to one another in a protein molecule is

called its primary structure.


(ii') Secondary structure refers to the shape in which a long polypeptide chain exist. They are found
to exist in two different types of structures which are a-helix and B-pleated sheet.
(in) The tertiary structure of proteins represents overall folding of the polypeptide chains. The main
forces which stabilises 2° and 3° structure of proteins are hydrogen bonds, disulphide linkages,
van der Waals' forces and electrostatic forces of attraction.
(iv) Although many proteins exist as a single polypeptide chain, but some of the proteins are
composed of two or more polypeptide chains called subunits. The spatial arrangement of these
subunits with respect to each other is known as quaternary structure.
() On the basis of molecular structure, proteins are classified as fibrous and globular proteins.
(a) Fibrous proteins When the polypeptide chains run parallel and are held together by
hydrogen and disulphide bonds, a fibre like structure is formed. Such proteins are insoluble
in water. e.g. keratin, myosin.
(b) Globular proteins When the chains of polypeptides coil around to give a spherical shape,
the protein is called a globular protein. Such proteins are usually soluble in water. e-g.
albumin, insulin.

Denaturation of Proteins
Due to temperature or pH change, secondary and tertiary structures are destroyed but primary structure
remains intact. This process is called denaturation of proteins.

2.3 Enzymes
Enzymes are the biocatalysts which are needed to catalyse biochemical reactions. Almost all the
enzymes are globular proteins. Enzymes are very specific for a particular substrate and reaction.

2.4 Vitamins
.Vitamins are required in small amounts for the growth, life and health of human beings and
animals.
.Vitamins can be water soluble (vitamin B and C) or fat soluble (Vitamin A, D, E and K), depending
upon their solubility. Water soluble vitamins must be supplied regularly in diet because they are
readily excreted in urine and cannot be stored (except B,2) in our body.
Deficiency of vitamins in diet may cause various types of deficiency diseases.

2.5 Hormones
Hormones are the chemicalsubstances, produced by endocrine glands in the body and are released
directly in blood stream. On the basis of chemical constitution hormones can be divided into two classes,
i.e. steroid and non-steroid hormones.

nucleus.
Nucleic acids are biomolecules which are found in nuclei of all living cels. DNA
(Deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (Ribonucleic acid) are two main types of nucleic acids. These
are polynucleotides as they are long chain polymers of nucleotides.
2. Complete hydrolysis of DNA (or RNA) yields a pentose sugar, phosphoric acid and nitrogen
containing heterocyclic compounds called bases.
3. DNA has four bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C) and thymine (T), RNA has adenine,
guanine, cytosine and uracil (U).
4. A unit formed by the attachment ofa base to l'position of sugar is called nucleoside (fig. (a). When
nucleoside is linked to phosphoric acid at 5' position of sugar moeity, we get a nucleotide (fig. (b)).
Thus, nucleotide is made up of a pentose sugar, a heterocyclic base and phosphoric acid unit.

. (a) Property of glucose that cannot be explained by open chain structure are as follows

(i) Despite having the aldchyde group, glucose does not give Schiff's test and 2,4-DNP test.
(ii) Glucose does not react with sodium hydrogen sulphide to form addition product.
(i The penta-acetate of glucose does not react with hydroxyl amine showing the absence of free-CHO

2. (a) Proteinfound in a biological system with a unique three dimensional structure and biological activity is called
a native protein.
When a native protein is subjected to physical change like change in temperature or chemical change, the
hydrogen bonds get disturbed. Due to this, globules unfold and hlix get uncoiled and protein loses its
biological activity. Such protein is known as denaturated protein. (1)
