Topic 1
The process by which amino acid chains are synthesized from RNA sequences
Translation
This type of protein reduces the activation energy of a reaction by acting as a biological catalyst
Enzyme
This level of protein structure involves alpha-helices and beta-sheets
Secondary
A structural unit of a protein that folds more or less independently from other subunits
Domain
This suffix is frequently used to denote a molecule is an enzyme
"-ase"

Mitochondria
The way in which a product can turn off the pathway that creates it.
Feedback Inhibition
Provides the connection between the two strands of a DNA double helix
Base-Pairing
Karyotype
An activation pathway characterized by a lower rate of reaction and a high activation energy
Uncatalyzed Reaction Pathway
carefully regulated recombination that can cause inherited cancer
homologous recombination
An unfavorable reaction becomes a favorable reaction, and the standard free energy changes from positive to negative.
Reaction Coupling
