Lec 1 Flashcards
two types of proteins
globular, fibrous
most abundant fibrous protein
collagen
enzymes are blank
proteins
many hormones are proteins aka
peptides
receptors are blank
proteins
hemoglobin is blank
protein
proteins are both blank and blank components of cells
structural, catalytic
comprise the cells genetic information / blueprint and play a catalytic role
nucleic acids
polymers of nucleic acid are blank
dna, rna
genes encode blank
rna
rna often codes for blank
proteins
a segment of dna that is transcribed
gene
central dogma
dna –> rna –> protein
chain of monosaccharide
polysaccharide
glucose is a blank
polysaccharide
an essential structural component of living cells
saccharides
monosaccharides are consituents of blank
nucleic acids
the sugar component of rna
ribose
sugar component of dna
deoxyribose
building block of membrane that is a metabolite
lipid
lipids are important blank and blank components of cells
structural, metabolic
process by which metabolites are processed
metabolism
role of these are for cell to cell signaling
hormone
in fed state, there are blank levels of insulin
high
in fasted state, insulin is blank
low
lacking insulin
type 1 diabetes mellitus
lacking activity of insulin receptors
type 2 diabetes mellitus
unique anatomy and physiology means there must be some unique blank
biochemistry/molecules/reactions
measure of electrostatic quenching (polar)
dielectric constant
water blank electrostatic interactions between charged particles
reduces
percent of body weight from water
60%
blank stimulates reabsorption of h20 in kidney
vasopressin (peptide hormone) antidiuretic
people with blank are deficient in vasopressin and excrete lots of urine so always thirsty
diabetes insipidus
hydrogen bonds are a sharing of 2 electrons between blank and H
O or N
hydrogen bonds are blank as strong as covalent
5%
H bonds are blank times longer than covalent bonds
2x
ice molecules each have blank h bonds
4
water destabilizes blank interactions
electrostatic
hydration blank dissociation of acids
stabilizes
high dielectric constant makes a good solvent for blank materials
ionic
molecules that have polar and non polar properties
amphipathic
chain of amino acids
protein
