BMSC 208 Final Review Exam Questions & Answers
2023/2025
3 types of enzyme inhibition - ANSWER-competitive, uncompetitive, noncompetitive
.A anomer - ANSWER-has the -OH on the opposite side of the ring from the -CH2OH
.A helical bundle (membrane transport) - ANSWER-Multiple A helicies that span the membrane,
carboxyl end is within, amino is outside
.AA distribution in an integral membrane protein - ANSWER-Charged residues sit on the outside,
apolar AA's sit inside the chain along with TRP and TYR at the polar head region.
.Acid/base catalysis - ANSWER-acceleration of a reaction by transfer of a proton
.Activation energy - ANSWER-Energy needed to get a reaction started
.Aldoses - ANSWER-Contain aldehyde groups
.Allosteric enzymes - ANSWER-enzymes exist in active and inactive forms
.Amylopectin - ANSWER-branched starch made of 1-4 A glucose bonds with a 1-6 a branch every 26-30
residues, has multiple nonreducing ends
.Amylose - ANSWER-linear polymer made of a 1-4 glucose has one nonreducing and one reducing end
.Anomeric carbon - ANSWER-the carbon the become chiral due to cyclization, resulting in A and B
forms.
, .ATP hydrolysis - ANSWER-ATP is converted to ADP & phosphate energized myosin heads via H2O
.ATP synthase - ANSWER-A large rotor protein that reproduce ATP from ADP and Pi by allowing H into
the cell or use ATP to push H out of the cell
.B anomer - ANSWER-has the -OH on the same side of the ring as the -CH2OH
.B Barrel (membrane transport) - ANSWER-multiple membrane spanning strands
.B linkages vs A linkages - ANSWER-b made linear lines for support and rigidity, a make hollow shapes
for storage
.B-fructopyranose - ANSWER-a sweet sugar that converts to furan form when heated
.Bilayer - ANSWER-double layer of lipids with polar heads outwards
.Blood group antigens - ANSWER-Surface sugars that allow the body to discern self blood from foreign
blood
.Botulinic toxin - ANSWER-breaks down snap and snare proteins used in membrane fusion
.Carbohydrate empirical formula - ANSWER-(CH2O)n
.Catalysts - ANSWER-Chemical agents that selectively speed up chemical reactions without being
consumed by the reaction.
.Catalytic triad - ANSWER-Ser, His, Asp
.Cell membrane - ANSWER-bilayer of lipids with polar heads outside and nonpolar tails inside
