How do you name a given structure formula?

1. Find the longest chain of carbon

2. the longest chain will be the prefix of the second element

3. add numbers to the name of groups to identify their positions on the chain

- these numbers will be the prefixes of the first name 

4. Use prefix to show how many of those groups appear in the structure

What is inhibition regarding amino acids?

Inhibition stops the substrate from binding to the active site, no new product is created

What are Amino Acids

the building blocks for proteins

200

Name the three letter code and the one letter code for this amino acid


Histidine

HIS-H

200

When net charge is 0

200

identify the 5 different enzymatic Rxns

Proximity effect: Can accelerate a reaction by holding the reactants close together

General acid and base catalyst 

Electrostatic effects

Nucleophilic or electrophilic catalyst by the enzymatic functional groups

Structural flexibility 

300

Halides 

Named by citing the location of the halogen attached to the chain.

Drop the "-ine" and add "o"

F-> most stable -> F=Floro

Br-> stable -> Br= Bromo

Cl-> less stable->Cl=Chloro

I-> least stable-> I=Iodo

300

name the 1-4 structures on amino acids 

1 structure: amino acid sequence 

2 structure: localized folding and configuration

3 structure: 3-D shape of protein 

4 structure: 3-D interaction between multiple polypeptide chains

300

Name the three letter code and the one letter code for this amino acid 

Glutamine

GLN-Q

300

What is isoelectric point

the pH where an amino acid remains motionless inside an electrical field 

300

Identify and define the 6 enzyme classes

Oxidoreductases: Enzyme catalyzes the oxidation rxn where the electron tends to travel
Transferases: Help in transportation of the functional group among acceptors and donor molecules

Hydrolytic enzymes: Catalyze the hydrolysis rxn by adding water to cleave the bond

Lyases: Adds water, CO2 or NH3 across double binds or eliminate these to
create double bonds

Isomerase: Structural shifts present in a molecule, causes a change in shape of
molecule

Ligases: Known to charge the catalysis of a ligation process
