Enzymes
The binding site for another molecule
What is active site?
4 classes of biomolecules
What is proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids?
R (rest of molecule) - OH
What is Hydroxyl Group?
increases the H+ in a solution
What is an acid?
Hydrogen molecule and an extremely electronegative molecule (2 partial charges)
What is hydrogen bond?
The molecule that binds to the active site
What is substrate?
massive biomolecules made of monomers formed into polymer chains are
What is macromolecule
R- C=0-H (Carbon double bonded to an Oxygen and single bonded to a Hydroxyl OH)
What is Carboxyl Group?
Increases the OH- in a solution
What is a base?
partial positive and negative charges that are attracted to each other, results in partial charge
What is dipole-dipole?
Limits/Increases productivity of an enzyme
What is enzyme regulator?
process of monomers H and OH components combining to form H2O
dehydration synthesis
R- N-H-H (Nitrogen bonded to two Hydrogen atoms)
Amino Group
acids ___ pH
What is decrease?
temporary dipoles due to molecules moving around and having instantaneous interactions
What is London Dispersion Forces?
inactive protein portion of an enzyme
What is apoenzyme?
process of H2O being added back into monomers which breaks the bond holding them together
Hydrolosis
R-C=O (Carbon double bonded to an Oxygen)
Bases___pH
__covalent bond has an electronegativity difference of < 0.4
Pure
inhibitor that binds the enzymes active site, effectively blocking it
What is competitive inhibitor?
used by plants as structural support
What is cellulose?
R-C-H-H-H (Carbon bonded to 3 Hydrogen atoms)
number representing neutral pH
What is 7?
__ bond has an electronegativity difference of > 1.8
What is Ionic bond?
