Term
| How is the phosphate group bonded to the ADP in ATP? |
|
Definition
| The phosphate group is bonded with an ionic bond that is helped by the protein Hexokinase |

Term
| Example of Protein Function |
|
Definition
The sigmoid O2 saturation curve of haemoglobin allows it to bind O2 in lungs and release it in capillaries; high metabolic activity reduces pH and enhances unloading of O2
. At high altitude the level of bis-phosphoglycerate (BPG) rises and enhances O2 unloading. |
