Document Summary
Lecture #3: chapter : energy, catalysis and biosynthesis. Biochemical function: enzyme: biological catalyst, usually protein, but can be rna. General term for enzymes that catalyze a hydrolytic cleavage reaction. Breaks down nucleic acids by hydrolyzing bonds between nucleotides. Breaks down proteins by hydrolyzing peptide bonds between amino acids. Joins two molecules together; dna ligase joins two strands of dna together end-to-end. Catalyzes the rearrangement of bonds within a single molecule. Catalyzes polymerization reactions such as the synthesis of dna and rna. Catalyzes the addition of phosphate groups to molecules. Protein kinases are an important group of kinases that attach phosphate groups to proteins. Catalyzes the hydrolytic removal of a phosphate group from a molecule. Oxido-reductase general name for enzymes that catalyze reactions in which one molecule is oxidized while the. Enzymes of this type are often called oxidases, reductases, or dehydrogenases.
