contain a central carbon bonded to a carboxyl group at one end, an amino group at the other end, a hydrogen atom, and an R group
Catalyzed chemical reactions
include glucose and fructose: they are used as fuel: they are carbon sources that can be converted to other molecules or combined into polymer
systematic study of the full protein sets encoded by genomes
include lactose and sucrose: they also are used as fuel: they are carbon sources that can be converted to other molecules or combined in polymers
