Document Summary

Condensation reactions (dehydration synthesis), synthesize polymer: used to make all organic polymers, each bond formed results in the production of 1 molecule of water, reverse reaction: hydrolysis . Chemical reactions: occur anytime two or more atoms, ions, or molecules collide in such a way that they produce a new substance. Living vs. non-living systems: non-living, less organized, lower energy, very slow, living, highly organized, high energy, fast. How do living systems accomplish this: external energy source, organic catalysts (enzymes) Enzymes: almost all are proteins, large globular proteins. G: enzyme + substrate, enzyme-substrate complex, they come together, have some attraction/some affinity between the two, enzyme-product complex, enzyme + product, figure 8. 15. Induced-fit model (induce=cause, cause fit to happen: the substrate binds to the active site, this alters the shape of the enzyme, creating a fit that promotes the reaction. What do the following things have in common: roundup (glyphosate, anti-bacterial hand cleaner (tricolsan, viagra (sildenafil, aleve (naproxen sodium, all enzyme inhibitors.
