New cards

Hydroxyl Structure

R - O - H

2
New cards

Hydroxyl Properties

Polar, forms hydrogen bonds, increases solubility in water.

3
New cards

Methyl Structure

R —— C - H3

4
New cards

Methyl Properties

Nonpolar, hydrophobic, decreases solubility in water.

5
New cards

Carbonyl Structure

R —— C = O or R'

6
New cards

Carbonyl Properties

Polar and can form hydrogen bonds, increases solubility in water.

7
New cards

Carboxyl Properties

charged, ionized to release H+. Since Carboxyl groups can release H+ ions into solution they are considered acidic. Polar

8
New cards

Carboxyl Structure

R — C(=O) — OH

9
New cards

Amino Structure

R — C(=O) — NH2

10
New cards

Amino Properties

charged, can accept H+ ions, making them basic. Contains a polar amino group.

11
New cards

Phosphate Structure

R — O — P(=O)(O)(O)

12
New cards

Phosphate Propeties

Charged, ionizes to realease H+ ions, making it acidic. It plays a key role in energy transfer as part of ATP.

13
New cards

Sulfhydryl Structure

R — SH

14
New cards

Sulfhydryl Properties

Polar and can form disulfide bonds, which stabilize protein structures.
