16
Q

What is importance of active site

A

Tertiary structure forms specific active site to substrate they can catalyse

17
Q

Explain competitive inhibitors

A

Competed for active site with substrate

Overcome by adding more substrate

18
Q

Explain non-competitive

A

Attaches somewhere else on enzyme

Changes tertiary structure so substrate no longer fits active site

19
Q

What is drug stereo specificity

A

Medicine molecules must be in correct enantiomeric form to work

20
Q

What is computer aided drug design

A

Predicts results of drugs

Interactions

21
Q

Structure of nucleotide

A

Draw

22
Q

What are features of DNA

A

Antiparallel strand

Complimentary base pairs -(A+T, C+G )

23
Q

What are the purines

A

Huh

24
Q

What are pyrimidines

A

Hi

25
Q

What is DNA replication

A

DNA must be copied for cell division
DNA helicase unzips
DNA polymerase joins

= semi-conservative replication

26
Q

Show structure of cisplatin

A

Draw

27
Q

What is purpose of Cisplatin and side effects

A

Kills cancer cells by binding to DNA and interfering with its repair causing cell death

Side effects - renal toxicity, neurotoxicity, bone marrow supression

28
Q
