Biomolecules and Enzymes

They are the complex polymers of amino acids.

It is present in muscle fibres.

These are joined by a peptide bond to form peptide chains.

Carbohydrates are used as immediate energy source.

These are the simple proteins made from amino acids alone.

It occurs due to change in the allosteric site.

In haemoglobin, globulin protein is associated with the heme-group, which gives it the red colour.

Alpha-keratin is a fibrous structural protein found in the hair, nails, and wool of mammals.

Proteins are polymers composed of amino acids, which are characterized by the presence of an amino group containing nitrogen atoms.

Lyases are enzymes cleaving C-C, C-O, C-N, and other bonds by elimination, leaving double bonds or rings, or conversely adding groups to double bonds.

Viroids are infectious agents composed solely of a short, circular, single-stranded RNA molecule, which is a low molecular weight nucleic acid. They lack the protein coat found in viruses.

The bacterial cell wall is primarily composed of peptidoglycan, which is also known as mucopeptide or murein. This structure provides rigidity and protection to the cell.

Proteins are composed of amino acids, which always contain Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen. Sulfur is present in some amino acids (like cysteine) but not all proteins.

 Separation of amino acid into amino and carboxyl group is known as deamination.In the human body, deamination takes place primarily in the liver, however glutamate is also deaminated in the kidneys.

The arginase enzyme helps in the production of urea. It is the final enzyme of urea cycle. It converts arginine into urea and ornithine.
