Biochemistry
Biochemistry
o noncompetitive inhibition
o binding somewhere on an enzyme that’s not the active site
FADH2
o Formed in citric acid cycle
NADH
o Formed in citric acid cycle
RuBP
o Catalyzed by rubisco
o Used to fix carbon, becomes G3P
Rubisco
o Enzyme that catalyzes RuBP
o Catalyzes first stage of carbon fixation
peptide bond
o on amino acids, the carboxyl group and the amino group connect.
o A form of dehydration synthesis so 1H20 is produced
phosphodiester linkage
o 2 hydroxyl groups in phosphoric acid react and for 2 ester bonds
o connects nucleotides in dna
ester linkage
o bond between hydroxyl group and carboxyl group.
o 3 fatty acids joined to glycerol with these
acetyl coa
o coenzyme which oxidates pyruvate in citric acid cycle
oxaloacetate
o substrate of acetyl coa. Binds to it to create citric acid which then
oxidizes.
Polysaccharide
o Polymer made of monosaccharides.
o Bound by glycosidic linkage
Glycosidic linkage
o Covalent bond joining carbohydrate to something
Polypeptide
o Chains of amino acids
o One or more of these form a protein
catabolic vs anabolic pathways
o catabolic- break down into simpler
releases energy
o anabolic- combine simpler to form more complex
absorbs/stores energy
endergonic vs exergonic reactions
o endergonic- energy is absorbed from the surroundings
o exergonic- energy is released to the surroundings
substrate level phosphorylation
o part of glycolysis
o directly adding P to ADP to make ATP
fermentation
o starts same as respiration: glycolysis
o pyruvate becomes waste product. Nothing continues.
induced fit
o model of how enzymes work
o only the right substrate can make the enzyme do its thing
steroid
o 4 ringed lipid
o
