(Hydrolysis) and this process is aided by Enzymes. Enzymes are biological‚ process catalysing Proteins which massively speed up the breaking down of compound molecules into micromolecules to allow nutritional absorption. All digestive Enzymes are Hydrolytic‚ i.e.‚ a water molecule is added to allow compound molecular breakdown and separation. All Enzymes have a unique shape to their ‘active site’ allowing only the target substrate to bond for biological processing. Enzymes have optimum operating requirements

An enzyme rotates around the double helix unwinding and flattening the structure. The double helix being unwinded is not a natural shape to have for dsDNA. Once the dsDNA is “unzippered”‚ ssDNA can only have new nucleotides partnered with it in one direction. each strand of the chromosome serves as a template to specify as a new complementary DNA strand. Dna acts as a template because each strand becomes a daughter strand by pairing the bases. Replication happens when the helicase attaches and breaks

Headline: Abnormal Liver Enzymes: What Does It Mean? Keywords: Liver‚ increase‚ enzymes‚ symptoms‚ test Page Description: Elevated liver enzyme is a condition in which there is an increase in the leakage of chemicals i.e. liver enzymes through liver cells. This hike leads to symptoms of various health problems. Blood test can be used in determining the associated causes and symptoms. Text: { What is meant by Elevated Liver Enzymes? Elevated liver enzymes are a common problem. Inflammation or

“Enzyme X is a highly pigmented protein that imparts the characteristic color to certain blue-green algae. It also facilitates a reaction necessary to the survival of this species; we can follow the kinetics of this reaction by measuring the conversion of Substance X to Substance Y at various times during purification.” Techniques and methodologies for extracting the proteins and purifying Enzyme X are as follows: The blue-green tinted proteins in Enzyme X give a distinct color to algae. The proteins

Substrate concentration and yeast catalase Aim: To see how the substrate concentration in hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of an enzyme controlled reaction using yeast catalase. Introduction: An enzyme is a biological catalyst made of protein. Enzymes are protein molecules found in living organisms and in this case I will use a yeast catalase. Catalase is an enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide is a poisonous by-product of metabolism‚ so it is very

Three Main Types of Volcanoes The three main types of volcanoes differ in shape‚ size‚ and make-up; the differences partly result from the different types of eruptions. Volcano Type Volcano Shape Volcano Size Volcano Materials Eruption Type UTAH example Cinder Cone Steep conical hill with straight sides Small less than 300m high cinders Explosive Diamond Cinder Cone‚ Washington County Shield Volcano Very gentle slopes; convex upward (shaped like a warrior’s shield) Large over 10s of kms

2. Describe how these three branches are supposed to interact. The three forms of government‚ the Legislative‚ the Executive‚ and the Judicial branches interact with each other through the system called‚ check and balance. Check and balance allow the feral branches to check on one another to ensure that each branch has equal power over their citizens’ rights. This eliminates a branch from consuming too much power and becoming more dominant than the other branches. Each Branch is given their own specific

raises some interesting questions. Why do we find some jokes humorous and not others? What can we define as amusing? And what philosophical value does ‘humour’ have in our lives. This essay will be exploring the three main theories of humour and the important of humour in Nietzsche’s philosophy and life. The first of the main theories of humour is the Incongruity Theory. The Incongruity Theory is the idea that humour is derived from surprise. This is‚ the sudden revelation of a previously concealed fact
