isomer-geometric
Rhodopsin cis -> trans (such as retinal)
isomer-enantiomer
Dextro - levo. L-DOPA (derivative of L-tyrosine) treats PD, can cross BBB, converted to dopamine.
functional
Revu!
phosphate
valence
+3 (3 p electrons) but also +5 (with s orbital electrons?) (
-OPO32-)
sulfhydryl
Cysteine has SH; sulfuric acid is H2SO4.
hormones
hydroxyl, carbonyl (C is hidden), methyl

- early 19th century Swedish Jöns Jakob Berzelius: organic compounds only within living organisms:
vitalism life force. 1828, Friedrich Wöhler made urea.
- 1953, Stanley Miller: mechanism.
- Rhodopsin:
thermolabile protein, bleached in dim light to opsin and retinal.
Photon converts cis isomer of retinal to trans-retinal.
Beta–carotene from plants converted to vitamin A.
- Testosterone steroid hormone from progesterone, derivative of cholesterol (4 fused rings):
Leydig cells of testes, zona reticulosa of adrenal cortex,
theca cells in ovaries, placenta: spermatogenesis, protein synthesis and growth, hair, voice.
- Precursor of estradiol (difference: methyl, hydroxyl group)
- Carbohydrate:
Cn(H2O)n
- carbonyl double bond: slightly polar
