Question
Answer
hydrogen bonding in water allows..   show
🗑
show any biological molecule that has low solubility in water and high solubility in nonpolar organic solvents; hydrophobic  
🗑
what are the six groups of lipids?   show
🗑
show building blocks of most complex lipids; long chains of carbons with carboxylic acid at one end  
🗑
triacylglycerols   show
🗑
show built from glycerol backbone but a SERVE AS STRUCTURAL COMPONENT OF MEMBRANES; polar phosphate replaces one of the fatty acids to create an amphipathic molecule  
🗑
steroids   show
🗑
show SERVE AS LOCAL HORMONES; include prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes  
🗑
show built from a chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds  
🗑
essential amino acids   show
🗑
non polar R groups   show
🗑
polar R groups   show
🗑
acidic R groups   show
🗑
basic R groups   show
🗑
primary structure   show
🗑
secondary structure, alpha helix and beta pleated sheets   show
🗑
show conformation of single protein chain (twisted into helix) which are reinforced by hydrogen bonds between carbonyl oxygen and hydrogen on amino group  
🗑
show connecting segments of two strands of sheet can lie parallel or anti-parallel which are reinforced by hydrogen bonds between carbonyl oxygen and hydrogen on amino group  
🗑
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  
🗑
show shape when two or more polypeptide chains bind together, depends on same five forces that tertiary structure does  
🗑
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
🗑
cytochromes   show
🗑
show aka sugars or saccharides, made of carbon and water  
🗑
glucose   show
🗑
alpha-glucose   show
🗑
show OH group and CH3OH group are on the same side  
🗑
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  
🗑
most common nitrogenous bases   show
🗑
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
🗑
cytosine and guanine form how many H bonds   show
🗑
ATP   show
🗑
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  
🗑
cofactor   show
🗑
show organic molecules that help enzymes obtain optimal activity; divided into two types - cosubstrates and prosthetic; eg: vitamins  
🗑
show reversibly bind to specific enzyme & transfer some chem group to another substrate and reverted back to original by another enzymatic reaction; eg: ATP  
🗑
show remain covalently bound to enzyme through reaction; eg: heme  
🗑
show increased temp will increase rxn rate until enzyme is denatured, then it rxn rate drops dramatically  
🗑
show optimal pH depends on enzyme  
🗑
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)  
🗑
show Michealis constant, substrate conc at which the rxn rate is equal to 1/2 the Vmax, good indicator of enzyme's affinity to substrate  
🗑
four methods of enzyme regulation   show
🗑
show enzymes become irreversibly active when after specific peptide bonds cleaved on its zymogen/proenzyme  
🗑
show activated/deactivated by phosphorylation or addition of some other modifier (often accomplished by hydrolysis)  
🗑
control proteins   show
🗑
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
🗑
categories of enzymes   show
🗑
metabolism   show
🗑
show (1)macromolecules broken down to their constituent parts (2)constituent parts oxidized to acetyl CoA/pyruvate/other metabolite forming some ATP and reduced coenzymes(no O2) (3)if O2 available, metabolites go into citric acid cycle & oxidative phosphor  
🗑
respiration   show
🗑
show respiration where oxygen is not required, includes glycolysis and fermentation  
🗑
show series of rxns that breaks 6-C glucose molecule into two 3-C molecules of pyruvate  
🗑
show expends two ATPs to phosphorylate the molecule  
🗑
show synthesizes 2 ATP with each 3 carbon molecule
