IDENTIFICATION Flashcards
globular proteins that work as a catalyst for chemical reactions.
ENZYMES
is the region on the surface of the enzyme to which substance(s) bind and which catalyzes the reaction.
ACTIVE SITE
monomer of protein.
AMINO ACID
monomer of nucleic acids.
NUCLEOTIDES
the meaning of DNA.
DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID
The meaning of RNA.
RIBONUCLEIC ACID
The meaning of sugar in DNA.
DEOXYRIBOSE
The name of sugar in RNA
RIBOSE
An intracellular source of energy
ATP
The base pairing rule of A=T and C=G is called.
CHARGAFF’S RULE
An amino acid is _____ because it behaves both as an acid or base.
AMPHOTERIC
An amino acid is ____ because they both have positive and negative charges.
Zwitterion
Polymers of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.
Polypeptide
Amino acids with acids have R group that interacts with water, which makes them hydrophilic.
Polar amino
Contain an ammonium (- NH3*) R group.
Polar basic
proteins which are folded to a more or less spherical shape.
Globular
Contain polypeptide chains organized approximately parallel along a single axis.
Fibrous
catalytically inactive protein resulting from the removal of holoenzyme’s cofactor is referred to as what?
Apoenzyme
organic compounds required by the body in small amounts for metabolism, for protection, for maintenance of health and proper growth. cannot be synthesized, therefore must be obtained thru diet.
vitamins
a nucleotide without the phosphate group
nucleoside
carries the genetic code - stores and transmits genetic info from one gen to the next
DNA
two cysteine residues form this bond which it helps stabilize polypeptides and proteins
disulfide bond
a level of protein structure with a variety of repeating structures.
secondary
the final arrangement for a protein having multiple subunits.
quarternary
catalytically active enzyme-cofactor complex is called what
holoenzyme
