Catabolism of Proteins F. Photosynthesis Page 2 BIO 2924 Mr. Smith Unit III Enzymes An enzyme is an organic catalytic agent produced by a living cell. A catalyst is a substance that has the capacity to speed up chemical reactions without itself being altered after the reaction is complete. Characteristics of Enzymes 1. Most enzymes are proteins or proteins combined with other chemical groups‚ and other enzymes (ribozymes) are composed of RNA. Since enzymes are proteins or RNA molecules

Protein is important! 1Protein is important because its an essential nutrient found in animal products‚ nuts‚ and beans. The name protein name comes from the Greek word protos‚ which means “first.” Your body uses proteins in your diet to build new cells‚ maintain tissues‚ and synthesize new proteins that make it possible for you to perform basic bodily functions. To visualize a molecule of protein‚ close your eyes and see a very long chain‚ rather like a chain of sausage links. The links in the

discussed protein digestion‚ absorption‚ and metabolism; while the second half focused on pathological stress and kidney disease. Protein digestion occurs in the stomach and small intestine. When a protein reaches the stomach it is denatured by hydrochloric acid. Once the protein is digested pepsin breaks apart the denatured protein into peptides. Peptides move into the small intestine where they encounter an enzyme that digest the peptides into di- or tripeptides‚ then into single amino acids. Once

AP Bio Ras Protein Paper The Ras proteins are a family of proteins that belong to a class of proteins called the small GTPase’s. They belong to a large super-family of proteins known as "low-molecular weight G-proteins". They are used to transmit signals throughout a cell using transduction. They strengthen the signals conveyed by linking them to a chemically irreversible process such as the cleavage of GTP. Ras proteins are usually in the “off” state where the GDP is bound to the site. However

NOTES DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) DNA Functions • Stores genetic information and copies itself (replication) to pass on the information • Contains genes (instructions to make proteins) • Instructs cell’s activities DNA Structure • DNA is a polymer of nucleotides • Chromosomes (DNA strand + associated proteins ie. Histones wrap DNA around like a spool = condensed chromatin) ↓ genes (sections of a chromosome that codes for a protein) ↓ nucleotides (3 parts: phosphate‚ deoxyribose sugar

Cheyenne Kenny September 29‚ 2014. Biology Properties Of Water Adhesion How does temperature change affect surface tension? As the temperature of a liquid increases‚ its surface tension decreases. When water heats up‚ the movement of its molecules disrupts the imbalanced forces on the surface of the water and weakens its sheet-like barrier of tightly bound molecules‚ thereby lowering the surface tension. This is why hot water is more effective when cleaning; its low surface

The development of human behaviour is generally believed to be a combined result of numerous environmental processes impacted by the family‚ society‚ tradition‚ culture and upbringing‚ along with the internal genetic influences. Thus there are believed to be several factors at play in shaping the final personality of an individual. The family and society plays a substantial role in determining the personality or identity of the individual. It has also been accepted by many scholars that the brain

The Protein Data Bank Assignment: Glucansucrase After I came to America‚ I have already met my dentist many times. Although I brush my teeth three times a day‚ use floss correctly and meet dentist every year‚ I don’t know why my teeth keep in trouble and get cavities again and again. I really want to figure out why the bacteria from my mouth cannot be removed. When I am finding some protein‚ I found that Glucansucrase which is related on the issue of tooth decay. I think Glucansucrase
