BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES A biomolecule is any molecule that is present in living organisms, including lare molecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acid. As well as small molecules such as primary metabolites, secondary metabolites and natural products.
STRUCTURES OF BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES TERTIARY STRUCTU RE tertiary structure PRIMARY STRUCTURE Equivalent to specifying the sequence of its monomer subunits. SECONDA RY -Pattern of STRUCTU hydrogen RE bonds in a polymer. -Formally defined by the hydrogen bonds of the biopolymers. The of any biomolecules is its 3 -dimensional structure as defined by the atomic coordinates.
QUARTERNARY STRUCTURE The arrangement of multiple folded protein or culling protein molecules in a multisubunit complex
