L THOIL (Lyases, Transferases, Hydrolases, Oxidoreductases, Isomerases, Ligases)
Term
Serine Protease Catalytic Triad:
Definition
Ser-His-Asp
Serine, Histidine, Aspartic Acid
Term
NonCompetitive Inhibition:
Definition
Binds to [E] and [ES]
Vmax decreases. Km unchanged.
LWB Plot: Only Y-int Changes
Term
UnCompetitive Inhibition
Definition
Binds [ES].
Vmax decreased. Km decreased.
LWB Plot: Changes Parallel
Term
Competitive Inhibition -
Definition
Binds [E].
Vmax unchanged. Km increased.
LWB Plot: Only X-int Changes
Term
Nucleoside
Definition
Base + Sugar
Term
Nucleotide
Definition
Base + Sugar + Phosphate
Term
Which is stronger: FAD or NAD?
Definition
FAD, often used to oxidize C-C bonds. Found in enzyme active sites usually.
Term
De novo synthesis occurs in the:
Definition
Liver
Term
Salvage synthesis occurs in the:
Definition
Brain and Lymphocytes
Term
PRPP stands for...
Definition
Phosphate Ribose PyroPhosphate
Term
Committed step in Purine synth:
Definition
Glutamine:PRPP Amidotransferase
Term
Gout Causes:
Definition
1. Increased PRPP 2.Partial loss of HGPRT activity 3.Loss of Feedback Inhibition
Term
Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome
Definition
Deficiency of HGPRT, causes high amounts of PRPP and purine synthesis (lots of Uric Acid)
Term
HGPRT
Definition
Major Salvage pathway enzyme.
Term
Pyramidine Synthesis Committed Step:
Definition
Asparatate Transcarbomylase "ATCase"
Term
Pyramidine Synth. Regulators:
Definition
1) CTP regulates CPSII (the first enzyme), and itself.
2) GTP stimulates CTPS to make more CTP
Term
Allopurinol
Definition
Structural Analog of hypoxanthine. Suicide inhibitor of xanthine oxidase.
Term
Drugs to stop Thymine Synth:
Definition
5-fluoroUracil and Methotrexate inhibit THF regeneration.
Term
SCIDS (Adenosine Deamininase Deficiency)
Definition
causes dATP buildup. dATP is master negative regulator of dNTP synthesis. So with SCIDS very few dNTP's are synthesized.
Term
Endogenous DNA Damage:
Definition
Repaired by Base Excision Repair.
Depurination= loss of G
Deamination= C changed to U. Or 5Methyl-C changed to T <---Very mutagenic.
Term
HNCC =
Definition

heterozygote for mutation in mismatch repair genes.
Term
Replication errors are fixed by:
Definition
Proofreading or mismatch repair
Term
Endogenous DNA errors are fixed by:
Definition
Base Excision Repair System
Term
Exogenous DNA Damage (bulky lesions are fixed by:
Definition
Nucleotide Excision Repair
Term
Breaks in DNA are fixed by:

Definition
defects in Nucleotide Excision Repair
Term
RecA Protein
Definition
facilitates Homologous Recombination and heteroduplex formation
Term

Definition
Anaerobic: Lactate
Aerobic: Acetyl CoA
or just used as Alanine
Term
Glycolysis produces:
Definition
