Title: For each of the three basic macromolecules (proteins, polysaccharides, and nucle Post by: colleen on Dec 14, 2011 For each of the three basic macromolecules (proteins, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids), identify the monomer, its activated/carrier form, and the directionality of the molecule.
Title: Re: For each of the three basic macromolecules (proteins, polysaccharides, and nucle Post by: bio_man on Jan 21, 2012 Proteins: amino acids; charged amino acyl tRNAs; NH2 --> COOH.
Polysaccharides: monosaccharides; monosaccharide phosphates; based upon their linkage but typically carbon 1 (or carbon 2) of one monosaccharide to the carbon 2, carbon 3, carbon 4, carbon 5, or carbon 6 of another monosaccharide. Nucleic acids: nucleotides; nucleotide triphosphates (NTPs); 5' --> 3'. |
