Enzyme ending
What is -ase?
Polypeptides that function as Catalyst for biological chemical reactions
What are enzymes?
# of Amino Acids
What is 20 due to 20 R groups?
Polypeptide that functions as a catalyst.
What is enzyme?
Strong covalent bond shared between the Carbon of 1 Amino Acid and the Nitrogen of a 2nd Amino Acid
What is peptide bond "C-N"?
Speeds up and decreases Activation "E" needed for chemical reactions
Part of enzyme where a substrate binds to it
What is active site?
Elements that make up proteins.
What is Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen?
Polypeptide that makes up structure such as muscle, skin, ligaments, tendons, and bone
What is Collagen?
What is protein monomer?
Protein Monomer
What is Amino Acid?
Speed up chemical reactions by decreasing the amount of Activation "E" needed; Some do hydrolysis and Some do dehydration/condensation reactions.
What are Enzymes?
What are meats, beans, nuts and eggs?
Polypeptide that transports oxygen gas from lungs to body tissues
What is hemoglobin?
Unique side chains of amino acids that can either be non-polar (hydrophobic) or polar (hydrophilic), acids ("-"), or bases (+), Determine how polypeptide will fold.
What is R-group?
Protein Dimer
What is Dipeptide?
A loss of enzyme shape that can cause a loss of functioning. (Temperature, pH, Salts cause this)
What is Denature?
Amount of energy derived per gram of protein ..... proteins are a last resort for energy.
What is 4 calories per gram?
Polypeptides such as insulin that trigger chemical reactions in your body
What is hormones?
Active Site
What is part of enzyme where a substrate binds to it?
Protein Polymer
What is polypeptide?
What enzymes must bind to in order to catalyze reactions. The reactant that enzymes turn into the product.
What is substrate?
Factors that affect protein folding. (not environmental)
What are:
1. Sequence of Amino Acids
2. # of Amino Acids
3. Which Amino Acids
Polypeptides made by white blood cells that help bodies defend against infection (part of immune system)
What is antibodies?
Bonus - (Not on Flashcards)
