Essentiality
Only get essential A.A through diet
Tertiary
When proteins denature
Fibrous protein function
Does not easily denature
Function best at muscle contraction
Enzymes
Never force 2 molecules to react that do not normally react in nature
Substrate
The chemical/molecule that will be changed by an enzyme
Carboxylase
Add CO2 to organic molecules
Dehydrogenase
Removes hydrogen
Reductase
Adds something to a molecule, changes the charge
Endergonic reactions
Require an input of energy

Not yet active
Coenzyme
Organic compound, the vitamins
Zymogens
Inactive enzyme, not fully constructed
Chaperonin
Proteins that can re-nature a denatured enzyme
Affinity
The degree of attraction between an enzyme and its substrate

Convert changes in internal environment into electrical signals
Set point
Don’t stay the same, never a fixed point
Acclimation
Long-term change in the environment; changes set point
Na+
140 meq/dL
Chemical messenger
Nervous system and endocrine system have chemical messengers
Endocrine system
Controls activities that require long duration rather than speed
Effectors
Reverse changes in the internal environment
Intrinsic control
In organs
Antagonist(negative feedback arc)
Block or inhibit function
Feedback inhibition
Stopping or reducing the output of a single biochemical pathway
Feed forward
Effector begins to change an internal environment before there’s any change in the external environment
