Biochemistry Autumn Term – Marlborough School Syllabus Content 5.6.1 Proteins Content • Review of appropriate material from A2 Chemistry – Module 2814 Chains, Rings and Spectroscopy, 5.4.4(e)–(h). • Amino acids, polypeptides and proteins. • Protein structure: primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures. • Denaturation of proteins. Assessment Outcomes Candidates should be able to: (a) explain the term primary structure of proteins. (b) describe the secondary structure of proteins: α-helix and β-pleated sheet; the stabilisation of these structures by hydrogen bonding. (c) state the importance of the tertiary protein structure and explain its stabilisation by R groups in the amino acid residues, in terms of ionic linkages, disulphide bridges, hydrogen bonds and van der Waals’ forces. (d) describe the quaternary structure of proteins, for example: haemoglobin including the role of Fe2+. (e) explain denaturation of proteins by heavy metal ions, extremes of temperature and pH changes (see also 5.6.2(d)).

5.6.2 Enzymes Content • Enzymes: relationship between enzymes and substrates; active sites. • Competitive and non-competitive inhibition. • Industrial uses of enzymes. Assessment Outcomes Candidates should be able to: (a) describe the behaviour of enzymes as catalysts of high activity and specificity. (b) explain the relationship between enzyme and substrate concentrations of biochemical systems. (c) explain the concept of an active site in the structure of an enzyme. (d) distinguish between inhibition of enzymes: (i) competitive inhibition by a similar substrate molecule competing for the active site; (ii) non-competitive inhibition by heavy metal ions. (e) explain the advantages of immobilising enzymes. (f) state the commercial and industrial uses of enzymes, typified by biological washing powders.

(e) describe the enzyme and acid hydrolysis of the glycosidic linkage. (f) compare the solubilities of monosaccharides and polysaccharides in water, in terms of hydrogen bonding. (g) suggest how the structures and properties of cellulose, starch and glycogen make them suitable for their role as structural or storage polymers in plants and animals.

(d) describe the structure and function of phosphoglycerides in the formation of bimolecular layers. (e) explain that (i) lipids, treated simply as (CH2)n, are essentially a concentrated energy store of carbon and hydrogen; (ii) carbohydrates, treated simply as (CH2O)n, are made up of partly oxidised carbon and hydrogen units allowing more 'instant access' to energy; (iii) why, on complete oxidation, lipids release more energy per gramme than carbohydrates. Treatment of metabolic stages is not required.
