1
New cards

hydroxyl groups (R-OH)

the most common & widely occurring polar group in biomolecules

2
New cards

hydroxymethyl group

(R-CH2-OH); closely related to the hydroxyl group

3
New cards

“alcohol”

is defined in the most general chemical sense as any molecule with a hydroxyl group linked to a saturated carbon atom

4
New cards

many biomolecules technically qualify as

alcohols due to the relative abundance of hydroxyl groups

5
New cards

enols & enolates

closely related to alcohols

6
New cards

enol

7
New cards

enolate

8
New cards

enol as part of phospho-enol

9
New cards

peroxide

oxygen-containing group/compound, which includes hydrogen peroxide (& its conjugate base the peroxide anion), organic peroxides & hydroperoxides, & peroxy acids (or peracids), as well as the superoxide free radical as an example of a highly reactive oxygen species (ROS)
