Procedures and mindsets that are followed in lab so that people don't die or get hurt

bond between two amino acids, often formed in a sequence between an amine and carboxyl group

Subunit of life that contains a nucleus and membrane bound organelles

Biological molecule that reduces the activation energy of a reaction.

DNA --> RNA --> Protein

Technique used in lab that works by tagging parts of a cell with a dye that emits light when activated by a certain wavelength

Non-covalent force between an Oxygen or Nitrogen and a partially positive hydrogen

The most abundant macromolecule in the body. Makes up 15% of the cell.

Amine end of polypeptide chain

A process that involves breaking a saccharide, using a molecule of H2O in the process

Often studied in labs due to the universality of life

the observed tendency of non-polar substances to aggregate in an aqueous solution and exclude water molecules.

Largest organelle in the body. Organizes and stores genetic information.

Secondary structure that has all side chains facing outward and has a hydrogen bond along the backbone every 3-4 subunits

A process that builds things fro smaller units and tends to require energy

Instrument that uses g force to separate parts of a cell by density

Used to describe something that has a hydrophobic and hydrophilic site

the material within a living cell, excluding the nucleus.

Dictated by the hydrophobic effect as well as the electrostatic interactions between side chains

All living things are made from cells. Cells are a fundamental unit of life. All cells come from cells

Chemical that is commonly used for unfolding proteins

Describes the increase in the number electrons to a model. NADH is an agent of this

subcategory of the cytoskeleton that provides tissue structure by having protein interactions outside of the cells. Is the reason why skin cells can stretch without blistering or breaking

can be formed when two of the same protein have a hydrophilic surface exposed to the cytosol

molecules responsible for carrying energy from one molecule to another
