MCAT BiologyCentral Dogma - correct answer DNA → RNA → Protein Purines - which bases? - how many rings? - correct answer Pyrimidines - which bases? - how many rings? - correct answer Remember: "Pyrimidine" has a "y" in it; so does "cytosine" and "thymine." Phosphodiester Bond - correct answer Joins one nucleotide to the next; between the 3rd C of one ribose and the 5th C of the other to create the sugar-phosphate backbone Directionality of DNA (convention) - correct ...

MCAT Chem/PhysGenerally, how are proteins formed? The connecting of a string of amino acids via peptide bonds and the folding of this string to create a completed protein. The folding is determined primarily by the hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic nature of the amino acids. Stabilized by hydrogen bonds, disulfide bridges, and other intramolecular forces. Peptide (Amide) Bonds These are formed when the n-terminus of one amino acid attacks the carboxy terminus of another amino acid. Water is ...

MCAT Biochemistry Review Amino Acid - correct answer Dipolar compound containing an amino group and a carboxyl group Amino Group - correct answer -NH2 Carboxyl Group - correct answer -COOH Alpha Carbon - correct answer Central carbon atom in amino acid Attached to amino & carboxyl groups, H atom, and side chain Side Chain - correct answer The variable component of an amino acid that gives the amino acid its identity and chemical properties also called R-group Chiral - correct a...

MCAT supercritical fluid - correct answer any substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical point, where distinct liquid and gas phases do not exist the lowest frequency corresponds to the highest/lowest period? - correct answer highest (pay attention to the question, dumb mistake) constructive interference vs destructive interference - correct answer constructive makes it bigger, amplifies. Destructive goes against, flattens the wave. Review R/S Stereochemistry - correct ...

MCAT Study Setcovalent bond formed via the sharing of electrons between two elements of similar EN bond order refers to whether a covalent bond is a single, double, or triple bond. As bond order increases, bond strength increases, bond energy increases, bond length decreases ionic bonds formed via the transfer of one or more electrons from an element with a relatively low IE to an element with a relatively high electron affinity - cation: postiive - anion: negative elect...

MCAT Bio/Biochem 2022What happens during non competitive binding? - correct answer binds at allosteric site How are peptide bonds formed? Broken? - correct answer dehydration synthesis hydrolysis What is the tertiary structure of a protein? - correct answer 3D structure including bending from hydrophilic/hydrophobic interactions R groups What is the quaternary structure of a protein? - correct answer interactions between different polypeptide chains in proteins composed of more than ...
