Peptides
________ are produced when the amide bond connects one amino acid to the ammonium group of the second amino acid carboxylate group.
New cards
2
Long chains
________ of biologically active amino acids are known as proteins.
New cards
3
substrate
A(n) ________ fits the shape of the active site exactly in the lock- and- key model.
New cards
4
covalent binding
A(n) ________ in the active area forms an irreversible inhibitor, which prevents catalytic activity permanently.
New cards
5
biological catalysts
As ________, enzymes act by reducing activation energy and accelerating cell response rates.
New cards
6
protection
In structure, transport, ________, storing, and muscle contraction, some proteins are enzymes or hormones.
New cards
7
Protein
________ is the majority of enzymes.
New cards
8
Molecular protein building blocks
________ are provided by a group of 20 amino acids.
New cards
9
protein denature
A(n) ________ occurs when the secondary, tertiary, or four- part protein structures with loss of biological activity destroy high temperatures, acids or bases, organic compounds, metal ions, or agitation.
New cards
10
Catalysis
________ occurs at the enzyme- substrate complex when amino acid R groups interact with a substrate in the active site of the enzyme.
New cards
11
enzyme
The ________ can bind to another substrate molecule when the products of catalysis are released.
New cards
12
