Enzyme Activity
This reacts with an enzyme to create product(s)
What is a substrate?
The name of the location where the substrate reacts with an enzyme
What is the activation site?
When looking at the structure of a an amino acid, the "R" represents what type of group
What is the variable group?
A dipeptide consists of this many amino acid
What are two?
True or False: Most of the time, a denatured protein can be re-formed into it's previous structure
What is false?
True or False: Enzymes are used up after a reaction and must be replaced by a new one
What is false?
Name the two types of "fits" that can happen with an enzyme and substrate
What are the lock and key fit and Induced fit?
This is the amount of amino acids that can be used to create polypeptides
What is 20?
A dipeptide is held together by this type of bond
What is a peptide bond?
Name the conditions in which a protein would be denatured
What are temperature and pH?
Name the factors that affect enzyme activity inside the body
What is temperature and pH?
When an enzyme and substrate are complementary of each other in their shapes and charges, they have this type of fit
What is lock and key?
True or False: Only plants have the Threonine amino acid in their cells
What is false?
(ALL living organisms have the same proteins)
These functional groups are involved in forming a peptide bond
What are the carboxyl and amine groups?
Denaturation affects this part of an enzyme
What is the activation site?
The name of the theory that states that enzyme activity can be increased by increasing thermal energy or concentration of substrates
What is the particle collision theory?
Daily Double!!
The next question you choose will be worth double the points!! (You will lose double the points if you get it wrong)
Name two of the functions of proteins
What are:
Hormones
Immunity
Structure
Movement
Enzymes
Transport
Sensation
These are the two types of secondary structures proteins can form
What are alpha helices and Beta-pleated sheets?
Typically, denaturation will affect a protein's ability to form this level of structure
What is tertiary?
In order to create lactose-free milk, this strategy is used
What are immobilized enzymes?
This is the level of structure that enzyme activity is dependent on
What is the tertiary level?
To be considered a "small" protein, it must have less than or equal to this number of amino acids
What is 100?
These are the two types of tertiary structures that can be formed by proteins
What is globular and fibrous?
Naturally, an amino acid has a neutral charge, with one side being positively charge and the other negative, earning it this title
What is a zwitterion?
