Isoprenoids
Give this one a try later!
-branched lipids (aka terpenoids)
-Uses: pharmaceuticals, pigments, fragrances
-Found in many hydrophobic oils & waxes
-Many bacteria rely on isoprenoids
Enantiomers
Give this one a try later!
, -isomers that are mirror images of each other (related by reflection to each
other)
-Can give drugs different therapeutic effect
denaturing
Give this one a try later!
protein is unfolded & loses structure
Structural isomers
Give this one a try later!
-carbon molecules with same formula but different arrangement
Using biochem to ID microbes
Give this one a try later!
1. MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight
mass spectrometry)
2. FAME (fatty acid methyl ester analysis)
3. PLFA (phospholipid-derived fatty acids analysis)
4. Proteomic analysis
5. Carbohydrate analysis
