Label the groups on this amino acid. Each colour is a group.
There are 22 amino acids but only amino acids are encoded by the universal genetic code.
The peptide bond occurs because a carboxyl group variable side group( carboxyl group, variable side group ) and an amino acid group form a strong weak( strong, weak ) covalent ionic( covalent, ionic ) bond releasing water in the process.
Complete this condensation reaction between two amino acids.
Which of these are functions of amino acids?
Protein synthesis
Energy reserves
Insulation
Protection against physical injury
An enzyme is a globular protein that increases the rate of a biochemical reaction by lowering the threshold.
The coming together of a substrate molecule and an active site is known as a .
Drag and drop the labels onto the correct areas of this diagram of how an enzyme works.
The -fit model explains how a substrate can induce a conformational change in the active site. Thus allowing the enzyme to more than one reaction.
