Hydride is
The anion of hydrogen (H-) Unstable
Hydride donors are
NADH and NADPH
Hydride acceptors
NAD+ and NADP
Water and hydronium (H3O) can
Donate or accept protons
Only AA that is neither polar nor charged
Alanine
When fatty acid synthesis is
Stimulated, the activity of the acyl carrier protein is increased
Triglyceride is composed of
Glycerol and 3 fatty acid chains
What increases fatty acids oxidation but decreases their synthesis?
Leptin
What regulates enzymatic activity by binding other than the active site causing conformational changes in enzyme?
Allosteric effectors
What is required for enzymatic activity?
Cofactors (coenzymes, metal ions)
Broca area
Speech production
Wernicke area
Language comprehension
Left hemisphere functions
Controls touch and movement on the right side of the body and language functions
Function of corpus callosum
Connects right and left hemisphere allowing them to communicate Without communication a patient can’t say what he sees but able to draw it
Right occipital cortex function
Processes visual information present in the left visual field and vice versa
Electron transport chain work relies on
Oxygen to function
Cytochrome p450 function
Membrane bound proteins that enable oxidation reactions, alters the activity of drug by acting as an oxidizing agent to allow drugs and toxins to be metabolized
Transcription factor
A protein that controls the rate of transcription of genetic material from DNA, it binds to promoter reaction and help to recruit the polymerase to begin transcription
Fatty acid oxidation occurs in
Mitochondria
Beta oxidation of fatty acids
Oxidation-hydration-oxidation - acetyl CoA
Oxidation in reactions means
Выход NADH and FADH
AA that can be phodohorylated
Serine, threonine, tyrosine
Nucleobases
32P is a
Genetic material in DNA
