Document Summary

Atp: enzymes that use nad+/nadh as redox cofactor generally use only nad+/nadh in this role. 2. identify the functional group by modifying the ending of the alkane name. The hydration reaction- an addition reaction: the most important type of reaction that alkenes undergo in biological chemistry is the hydration reaction, the product of a hydration reaction is called an alcohol and contains a hydroxyl group. Markovinkov"s rule: the hydrogen atom of water prefers to become attached to the alkene carbon that is bonded to more hydrogen atoms. (in enzyme- catalyzed reactions this isn"t necessarily true) Cycloalkenes can be hydrated: cycloalkenes can also react with water to form alcohols. Thiols: compounds closely relates to alcohols but with functional group (-sh) (o and s are group. Via: normally not hydrogen bond donor or acceptor, important thiols, amino acid cysteine and methionine, glutathione, coenzyme a, that smelly stuff that makes your hair curl.
