Biolab finals Flashcards
Are proteins that catalyze or accelerate chemical reactions.
Enzyme
The molecules at the beginning of the process of acceleration and catalyzing, these are called?
Substrates
It is when the enzyme converts them into different molecules
The products
Enzymes can be (?) and (?) with salts, solvents and other reagents
Denatured and precipitated
Enzymes can be Denatured and precipitated with (?), (?) and (?)
salts, solvents and other reagents
(?) can be Denatured and precipitated with salts, solvents and other reagents
Enzymes
Enzymes have molecular weights ranging from (?) to (?)
10,000 to 2,000,000
Many enzymes require the presence of other compounds - cofactors - before their catalytic activity can me exerted. this entire active complex is referred to as the (?)
holoenzyme
Many enzymes require the presence of other (?) - (?) - before their catalytic activity can me exerted. this entire active complex is referred to as the holoenzyme
compounds - cofactors
Apoenzyme + cofactor = ?
Holoenzyme
(?) + (?) = Holoenzyme
Apoenzyme + cofactor
A non-protein organic substance which is dialyzable, thermostable and loosely attached to the protein part
Coenzyme
An organic substance which is dialyzable and thermostable which is firmly attached to the protein or apoenzyme portion
Prosthetic group
The enzyme will catalyze only one reaction
Absolute specificity
The enzyme will act only on molecules that have specific functional groups, such as amino, phosphate and methyl groups.
Group Specificity
The enzyme will act on a particular type of chemical bond regardless of the rest of the molecular structure
Linkage specificity
The enzyme will act on a particular steric or optical isomer
Steriochemical specificity
Are polymers of high molecular weight with nucleotides as the repeating unit.
Nucleic acids
Are mostly conjugated with proteins to form nucleoproteins
Nucleic acids
Nucleic acids are mostly (?) with proteins to form nucleoproteins
conjugated
Nucleic acids are mostly conjugated with proteins to form (?)
nucleoproteins
In most living organisms (exept for viruses), genetic information is stored in the molecule (?)
deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA
Is made and resides in the nucleus of living cells
DNA
DNA Is made and resides in the (?) of living cells
nucleus
Four different nucleotide bases occur in the DNA:
Adenine (A), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G), Thymine (T).
It gets it’s name from the sugar group in the molecule’s backbone ribose
RNA
Has a sugar phosphate backbone with nucleotide bases attached to it.
RNA
Like DNA, RNA contains the bases (?), (?) and (?)
Adenine (A), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G)
