The Chemistry of Carbon
The Chemistry of Carbon
Carbon atoms have four valence electrons that can join with the electrons from other atoms to form strong covalent bonds.
A carbon atom can bond to other carbon atoms, giving it the ability to form chains that are almost unlimited in length.

Macromolecules
Macromolecules
Macromolecules are formed by a process known as polymerization.
The smaller units, or monomers, join together to form polymers.
This polymerization reaction produces water

2. Some proteins are used to form bones and muscles. e.g. tendon, ligament, collagen
3. Other proteins transport substances into or out of cells or help to fight disease. e.g. antibodies
4. Some proteins are chemical messengers. e.g. insulin

Proteins
Proteins can have up to four levels of organization:
1. PRIMARY: Amino acids have a specific protein chain.
2. SECONDARY: The amino acids within a chain can be twisted or folded.
3. TERTIARY: The chain itself is folded.
4. QUARTENARY: If a protein has more than one chain, each chain has a specific arrangement in space.
