Document Summary
Tas: byron hunter 12bth@queensu. ca (wed 2;30-4;30 rm 660 botterell) tyler vance. Textbook: 5-7th ed work, principles of biochem, nelson and cox w sapling. Protein structure due to h bonding, weak acid/ base ionization, hydrophobic effect, 1 2 3 and 4 structure. Function/behaviour due to purification, ligand binding, enzyme catalysis, protein dna/rna interactions, protein-protein interactions. Storage: o2 storage= myoglobin, hemoglobin, fe storage. Single domain bacterial enzyme that degrades xylan. Xylan is in pulp and traps in lignen giving paper its brown colour then chlorine would bleach it white. Use xylanase to take out xylan and use less chlorine. Needed it to be stable at high temps. Most biochem sys exist in aq enviro.
