🗑
show built from a chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds  
🗑
show humans have 10 - meaning humans cannot manufacture these 10 and must be ingested  
🗑
show glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, methionine, proline  
🗑
polar R groups   show
🗑
show aspartic acid, glutamic acid  
🗑
basic R groups   show
🗑
show number and sequence of amino acids in polypeptide chain  
🗑
show contribute to conformation of protein  
🗑
alpha helix   show
🗑
beta pleated sheet   show
🗑
show 3D shape of peptide chain created by (1) covalent disulfide bonds between 2 cysteine (2) electrostatic interactions btw acidic and basic side chains (3) hydrogen bonds (4) VDW forces (5) hydrophobic side chains pushed away from H2O  
🗑
quaternary structure   show
🗑
show function as enzymes, hormones, membrane pumps and channels, membrane receptors, intercellular and intracellular transport and storage, osmotic regulators, immune response - antibodies  
🗑
structural proteins   show
🗑
glycoprotein   show
🗑
show proteins which require prosthetic heme grope in order to function  
🗑
show aka sugars or saccharides, made of carbon and water  
🗑
glucose   show
🗑
alpha-glucose   show
🗑
beta-glucose   show
🗑
show alpha linked polymerized glucose found in all animal cells as a way to store glucose  
🗑
starch   show
🗑
show beta linked polymerized glucose, animals cannot digest beta linkages only bacteria can digest  
🗑
show composed of a five carbon sugar, nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group  
🗑
show adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil  
🗑
show joins the nucelotides by creating bond between phosphate group of one nucleotide and the 3rd carbon of the pentose of the other nucelotide  
🗑
adenine and thymine form how many H bonds   show
🗑
show three  
🗑
show adenosine triphosphate, nucleotide that acts as source of readily available engery for the cell  
🗑
show cyclic AMP, important component of second messenger systems  
🗑
show NADH and FADH2  
🗑
show dissolved inorganic ions inside and outside the cell; assist in transport of substances entering/exiting cell; can combine and solidify to give strength to matrix; can act as co-factors assisting enzyme or protein function  
🗑
show globular protein, function as catalyst to lower energy of activation for bio rxn and increasing rate of rxn; exhibit saturation kinetics  
🗑
show active site of the enzyme has a specific shape like a lock that only fits a specific substrate (the key)  
🗑
show the shape of both the enzyme and substrate are altered upon binding which increases specificity and helps rxn to proceed; in cases with multiple substrates, the enzyme can orient substrates relative to each other to create optimal conditions for the rxn  
🗑
show where as the relative concentration of substrate increases, the rate of rxn also increases, but to a lesser and lesser degree until a max rate has been achieved  
🗑
show substrate conc, temp, pH, cofactors  
🗑
show non-protein component required by enzymes to reach optimal activity (coenzymes or metal ions)  
🗑
coenzyme   show
🗑
cosubstrate   show
🗑
prosthetic group   show
🗑
temperature and enzymatic rxns   show
🗑
pH and enzymatic rxns   show
🗑
show irreversible, competitive, non-competitive  
🗑
irreversible inhibitor   show
🗑
competitive inhibitor   show
🗑
show agents which bind noncovalenty to an enzyme at a spot other than the active site and change the confirmation of enzyme, will lower Vmax but the affinity of the enzyme remains the same (Km)  
🗑
Km   show
🗑
four methods of enzyme regulation   show
🗑
proteolytic cleavage   show
🗑
reversible covalent modification   show
🗑
show protein subunits that associate with certain enzymes to activate/inhibit their activity; eg calmodulin or G-proteins  
🗑
show molecules that regulate enzyme activation/inhibition by causing conformational change (eg feedback inhibition); not necessarily noncompetitive inhibitors; exhibit atypical kinetics  
🗑
negative feedback   show
🗑
show one of the products returns to activate the enzyme (occurs less often then negative)  
🗑
positive cooperativity   show
🗑
show oxidoreductases, transferases, hydrolyses, lyases, isomerases, ligases  
🗑
show all cellular chemical rxns consisting of anabolism (molecular synthesis) and catabolism (molecular degradation)  
🗑
three stages of metabolism   show
🗑
respiration   show
🗑
show respiration where oxygen is not required, includes glycolysis and fermentation  
🗑
glycolysis   show
🗑
show expends two ATPs to phosphorylate the molecule  
🗑
3-C stage of glycolysis   show
🗑
show 4 ATP + 2 pyruvate + 2 NADH  
🗑
show glucose + 2 ATP + 2 NAD+  
🗑
show glucose + 2 ATP + 2 NAD+ --> 2 pyruvate + 4 ATP + 2 NADH  
🗑
irreversible steps of glycolysis   show
🗑
show formation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate using the energy released from the decay of high energy phosphorylated compounds as opposed to using the energy from diffusion)  
🗑
