Def: An enzyme is a protein formed by the body that acts as a catalyst to cause a certain desired reaction. Enzymes are very specific. Each enzyme is designed to initiate a specific response with a specific result. There are many enzymes in the human body. In cystic fibrosis‚ the term enzyme generally refers to the enzymes created by the pancreas that are intended to initate a reaction that digests food. Structure :The basic mechanism by which enzymes catalyze chemical reactions begins with

Common Introduction: -Beer-Lambert Law found by Beer August and Johann Heinrich Lambert is the linear relationship between the attenuation of light and concentration of the material through which the light is travelling. It states the absorbance is proportional to the concentration when a parallel beam of monochromatic radiation of equal pathlength is passing through a homogenous concentration. A=εbc‚ where A is absorbance‚ ε is molar absorptivity (L molˉ1cmˉ1)‚ b is the pathlength (1cm) and c

Matt Lemming Biochemistry 100 5/9/2001 Final Exam: Energy Policy One solution to solving the world’s energy policy could be to invest more government spending into nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is manipulating an atom down to its molecular scale in order to change its complexion. An example of nanotechnology is Thermocells‚ which have been introduced by using carbon nanotube technology‚ and can provide up to three times the amount of energy than a normal cell. Thermocells look and feel like

Bioquímica Repaso Examen 1 Chapter 1: Introduction to Biochemistry 1.1 Biochemistry is a Modern Science • By synthesizing urea‚ Friedrich Wöhler showed that compounds found in living organisms could be made in the laboratory from inorganic substances. He used the inorganic compound ammonium cyanate. • Two major breakthroughs in the history of biochemistry are especially notable: o Roles of enzymes as catalysts o Roles of nucleic acids as information carrying molecules.

Pg. 25 Once drug goes into mucosal cells‚ the concentration gradient will decrease. Blood supply to mucosal cell keeps removing drug continuously so the drug conc is smaller & this (heavy vascularisation) maintains constant gradient so that the drugs are constantly removed into the blood stream pH in stomach about 2 Implication: weak acids absorbed readily‚ weak bases not absorbed as readily Implication: some of the drugs may not be able to suvive that acidic environment. & they may disintegrate
