enzyme speedrun
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| atp synthase | found in mitochrondria's inner membrane. synthesizes ATP as the name suggests |
| NADP⁺ reductase | |
| PEP carboxylase | |
| rubisco | converts inorganic carbon dioxide molecules into organic molecules during the final step of the Calvin cycle. & something abt oxygen |
| helicase | unwinds both DNA strands during replication |
| topioisomerase | relives tension that comes from untwisting DNA strand by cutting & reassembling them |
| primase | synthesizes rna primers (DNA polymerase III can't start building on its own) |
| DNA polymerase III | adds DNA nucleotides to primers. mainly responsible for synthesis |
| DNA polymerase I | replaces rna primers w/ DNA nucleotides |
| ligase | attaches the backbones of nucleic acids |
| telomerase | repairs telomeres, preserves genome from senescence (aging) |
| RNA polymerase ii | transcribes DNA into pre-mRNA. the pain player in transcription |
| aminoacyl tRNA synthetase | plays a role in central dogma. attaches enzyme to orresponding amino aid |
| RNA polymerase iii | makes noncoding RNA (tRNA, ribosomal, etc) |
| ubiquitinase | |
| reverse transcriptase | synthesizes DNA from RNA. originally encoded by retroviruses (but founded in other genomes bc of proviruses). has lots of biotech applications |
| TAQ polymerase | DNA synthesis enzyme that can withstand the high temperatures of PCR. found in thermophilius aquaticus, one of those insane vent bacteria |
| kinases (class) | adds phosphate groups from nucleic acids (like ATP) to proteins (like enzymes). this (USUALLY) activates them |
| phosphatases (class) | remove phosphate groups from enzymes. this (USUALLY) deactivates them |
| receptor tyrosine kinase | cell signal receptor that can trigger more than one signal transduction pathway at once. found in plasma membrane. they phosphorylate each other first |
| adenynyl cyclase | turns ___ into cAMP (a signalling molecule). because of this, it has a role in cell signalling pathways |
| phospholipase c | turns phospholipids (from the membrane) into signalling molecules PIP and DAG. similar to adenylyl cyclase in this respect |
| phosphodiesterase | |
| GTPase | an enzyme that hydrolyses the GTP to GDP. inactivates G proteins. plays a role in cell signalling pathways |
| acetylcholinosterase | destroys acetylcholine (neurotransmitter that increases muscle activity & decreases heart muscle activity). |
| caspase | play a role in apoptosis |
| dehydrogenases |
