Question | Answer |
neg. delta G leads to what kind of reaction? | favorable |
do enzymes change the delta G of a reaction? | no |
at what point in a reaction do substrates have their highest energy level? | transition point |
what must happen to glucose before it can enter a cell? | hexokinase must phosphorylate it |
why isn't galactose a good substrate? | bad stereochemistry |

aside from histidine, what protease uses acid-base catalysis? | aspartic proteases |
where are aspartic proteases found in cells? | lysosomes |
give an example of an oxidoreductase? | ADH |
what does an activation transfer coenzyme do? | transfers functional groups from one molecule to another |
