Week 1
Bonds formed between specific base pairs in the DNA Helix
What is Hydrogen Bonds
The protein structure that is known for the global folding of the protein upon itself
What is tertiary level?
Protein that acts as catalysts in living things
What is enzymes?
The orientation of DNA strands in opposite directions.
What is antiparallel?
The flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to Protein.
What is the central dogma?
The mnemonic used to identify hydrophobic amino acids in an Amphiphilic Wheel
What is "FAMILY VW"
The three ways a protein and it's ligand can fit together
What is surface-string, helix-helix, and surface-surface?
The basic unit of eukaryotic chromatin, made of DNA wrapped around histone proteins
What is nucleosome?
Weaker forces that hold molecules together without sharing electrons
What is non-covalent bonds?
The portion of a protein that folds independently and has a distinct function.
What is a domain?
When a molecule binding to a protein causing the substrate to be unable to bind
What is Negative Allostery
Two identical heavy chains and light chains containing 4 and 2 domains, in which each domain is encoded by a separate exon
What is the antibody complex?
The unit used to compare the free energy released or required for different reactions
What is the standard free energy (delta G)?
The process by which cellular components organize themselves into stable structures
What is self-assembly?
The process of attaching a ubiquitin polymer paired with Lys48 or Lys63, which results in proteasomal degradation or DNA repair.
What is polyubiquitylation?
What process eliminates individuals carrying mutations that interfere with important genetics functions
What is Purifying Selection
