Introduction to Cells and Biochemistry
All cells on earth store their hereditary information in this type of molecule.
What is DNA?
Beta strands come in these directional types.
What are parallel and anti-parallel?
Bonds typically found in Binding Pockets
What are Non-Covalent Bonds
Explains the flow of genetic material from DNA->RNA->Protein
What is the central dogma?
A bond that allows for a protein chain to fold and also attach to other proteins
What is a noncovalent bond?
This is the number 1 way to regulate enzyme activity.
What is Phosphorylation?
Type of bond that shares electrons to fill outer electron shells.
What is a covalent bond?
This amino acid is known to be an alpha-helix breaker.
What is Proline?
A steady state in which the number of binding events per second is equal to the number of on un-binding events per second.
What is equilibrium?
This family of genes have similar sequences to their ancestral organism, but have different functions.
What are paralogs?
The directionality of a helical structure is commonly known as...
What is handedness?
This is a target of antibodies
What is an antigen?
What is thermal or Brownian motion?
The peptide bonds that hold amino acids together to form proteins are planar and cannot rotate. This is due to what characteristic of the peptide bond?
What is electron delocalization/partial double bond character due to the double-bonded oxygen?
Example of a flexible protein chain with functional disordered regions
What is elastin?
