Term
Heparin affects blood clot formation towards the _____ of the blood clotting pathway
Definition
end
(including both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways)
Term

Definition
has anti-thrombin activity and binds to kallikrein (a protein affecting localized inflammation)
Term
The differences between OSCS and heparin are
Definition
caused by the constituents attached to the ring, not the ring itself
Term
This type of inhibitor increases apparent KM, but does not affect Vmax.
Definition
competitive
Term
Lipids are composed of
Definition
hydrogen and carbon
Term
Distribution of lipids in the cell membrane is

asymmetric
Term
Carbs drag _____ water than lipids
Definition
more
Term
Phospholipase only interacts with the
Definition
head groups of lipids.
Term
What method of enzyme catalysis best describes how isocitrate dehydrogenase catalyzes the protonation of NADP+ to form NADPH?
Definition
Base catalysis
Term
Which of the following types of inhibition impact the Vmax of an enzyme?
Definition
noncompetitive
uncompetitive
Term
The effects of which type of enzyme inhibition are completely swamped by the presence of high concentrations of substrate?
Definition
competitive
Term
Of the following five, which function as receptor-based senses?
Definition
touch
hearing
Term
Upon reception of a signal, which molecules move into the cell and which move out of the cell?
Definition
K moves out, Na and Cl move in
Term
What function does the aspartate hold in the serine/cysteine protease mechanism?
Definition
Its hydrogen-bonds help to make histidine more basic.
Term
True or False: A high Km indicates that the binding is weak, low Km means that the binding is strong.
Definition

Definition
weakly
Term
Coupled reactions in glycolysis

Term
Which enzyme of glycolysis would be affected by the decrease in cyclic AMP concentration
Definition
Phosphofructokinase
Term
Which enzymes regulate flux through the pathway?
Definition
Hexokinase
Phosphofructokinase
Pyruvate kinase
Term
Iodoacetate --> reacts with cysteine side chain inhibits
Definition
G3P
Term
DEPC --> reacts with histidine side chains inhibits
Definition
Phosphoglycerate mutase
Term
AMPPCP --> a non-hydrolyzable analog of ATP. There is a carbon in place of the oxygen between the beta and gamma phosphates inhibits
Definition
Hexokinase
Phosphofructokinase
Term
Lower glycolysis normally produces__ ATP molecules for every glucose
Definition
4
Term
Why is it advantageous to have 3 major points of regulation within glycolysis rather than just having the first step be the primary regulatory step as in other pathways?
Definition
Multi-tiered regulation allows for shifting of metabolites in and out of the glycolytic pathway as needed
Term
Glucagon alters glycolysis flux by
