45
Q

What determines if a carbon ring is in alpha or beta configuration

beta configuration: OH on 1st or 2nd carbon is up

46

A

Maltose

glucose + glucose

47
Q

Name the disaccharide

what two monosaccharides does it consist of

A

lactose

galactose + glucose

48
Q

Name the disaccharide

what two monosaccharides does it consist of

glucose + fructose

49
Q

List and describe the 4 catalyst strategies

A

approximation: orientation and proximity

acid base: share protons

covalent: share electron

Stereostatic:

50
Q

Induced fit vs lock and key model

A

Lock and key fits at first

induced fit doesn’t fit perfectly from the start

51
Q

List the 6 classes of enzymes and describe

A

lyase:

ligase:

hydrolase:

Oxidoreductase:

transferase:

Isomerase:

52
Q

What are the two main differences between passive and active transport

A

Passive: no ATP and travels with gradient

Active: uses ATP and travels against gradient

53
Q

Describe P-type-ATPase

A

active transport

4 domains: transmembrane, A/actuator (link), N/nucleotide binding, P/phosphorylation

Ex. SERCA, Na/K pump

54
Q

Describe ABC transport

A

active transport

either monomer or homodimer

ex. MDR, MsbA

molecule binds empty transporter increasing affinity for ATP, ATP binds and causes eversion, molecule is released, ATP hydrolysis and release

55
Q

describe secondary active transport

A

primary active transport creates gradient the a passive channel or carrier allows molecules/ions to fall back down through gradient with a high value stowaway

ex. Na-glucose cotransport in intestine, lactose permease

56
Q

describe ion channels

A

passive transport

have a selectivity filter and a gate

movement is a result of electrostatic repulsion

57
Q

describe gap junctions

A

passive transport

channels

no filter no gate

58
Q

describe aquaporin

A

facilitated diffusion, passive transport

selevtivity filter but no gate, only allows water through
