O-Chem
These organic compounds contain a hydroxyl functional group.
Which amino acid forms intrastrand disulfide bonds?

Simple carbohydrates are often named as aldoses or _________.
Ketoses
The portion of the enzyme where the reaction takes place is called the: ________ ________.
active site
A peptide with a net charge of zero is called the __________.
Zwitterion
There are ___ carbons and ___ hydrogens in heptane.
7 carbons, 16 hydrogens
This type of structure generally stays intact upon denaturation unless a restriction enzyme is used.
Primary
If we are referring to the last chiral carbon, when the -OH is on the right, we call it a ___ carbohydrate.
D
Enzymes lower the __________ __________, but do not change delta G of the reaction.
activation energy
The pH at which an ionizable group will begin to lose a H atom is called the ____.
pKa
This functional group makes the peptide bond in peptides.
amide
Myoglobin does not have this level of structure.
Quaternary (it is a monomer)
The carbon where alpha or beta carbohydrates are distinguished is called the ________ carbon.
anomeric
Describe a competitive inhibitor.
Competes for the actual substrate for the active site.
How many essential amino acids are there?
9
2-butanone
What category of amino acid types do glycine and alanine fall under?
Nonpolar/Hydrophobic
We call non-superimposable mirror images __________.
enatiomers
This type of enzyme can transfer a group from one thing to another.
Transferase
If you infinitely increase the concentration of substrate, will the enzyme work infinitely faster? Answer yes or no and include an explanation.
No - because at some point you will reach the maximum turnover rate for the enzyme and you can only go as fast as diffusion brings substrate into the active site.
These two functional groups are present on all amino acids.
amino and carboxyl group
Name 3 of the forces that contribute to tertiary structure.
salt bridges, H-bonding, disulfide bonds, hydrophilic or hydrophobic interactions
The most common hexose is a building block for lactose and sucrose. It is called ___________ .
D-glucose
This type of inhibition may allow substrate to bind to the active site, but will prevent the reaction from proceeding.
There are three aromatic amino acids that absorb light in the UV-Vis region at 280 nm. Name one of these amino acids.
Tryptophan, Tyrosine, Phenylalanine
