metabolism
-
Step by step enzime driven pathway: a precursor molecule converted to a final product
metabolic pathways
-
Construction of complex molecules from simple ones. aka biosynthetic
anabolic pathways
-
breakdown of complex molecules from simpler subunits
catabolic pathways
-
____ reactions take advantage of _____ reactions' energy released
anabolic/catabolic
-
Energy can be transfered or transformed, not created nor destroyed.
first law of TD
-
Entropy (disorder) is always increasing as energy is converted. some is lost and becomes unavailable to do work
2nd law of TD
-
these are polymers of nucleotide monomers. their main function is to store, transmit, and use hereditary information... genes.
nucleic acids
-
2 major types of nucleic acids
DNA & RNA
-
nucleotides are bound together by
phosphodiester linkages
-
These are nucleotides with one ring structure
pyrimidines
-
These are nucleotides with 2 ring structures
purines
-
purines (pure as gold)
adenine and guanine
-
Pyrimidines
cytosine and thymine (uracil in RNA)
-
this consists of 1 strand of polynucleotides but can hydrogen bond to form 3d structuers
RNA
-
this consists of 2 strands, and forms a double helix pattern
DNA
-
Uracil, adenine, and thymine have ____h bonds
2
-
Guanine and cytosine have ____ h bonds
3
-
The central dogma of genetics
DNA is transcribed onto complementary strand of RNA and translated into specific sequence of amino acids, this results in a creation of protein
-
polymer of amino acids
proteins
-
amino acids are composed of 3 parts.
amino group, variable group (R), and carboxyl group
-
this is the backbone structure of a protein
primary
-
this is the kind of protein structure that has H bonding between repeating parts, A helix and B pleated
-
This protein structure involves bond between variable R groups, it is much less predictable
tertiary
-
This protein structure involves multiple polypeptides
quaternary
-
a type of catalytic RNA
ribozymes
-
some enzymes only function in the presense of
cofactors, prosthetic groups, and coenzymes.
-
the body controls enzyme activity in two ways
regulating gene expression and regulating activity of enzymes
-
name the types of enzyme inhibitos
natural and artificial
-
two categories of inhibitors
reversible and irreversible inhibitors
-
reversible inhibitors can be
competitive and non competitive
-
