Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

26 notecards = 7 pages (4 cards per page)

back 10

reactions that store energy

front 11

anabolic reactions

back 11

front 17

Energy Coupling

back 17

process where a spontaneous reaction (exergonic) fuels a non-spontaneous reaction (endergonic)

occurs in metabolic pathways

delta G will be negative

front 18

active site

back 18

location on an enzyme that the substrate binds to

front 19

induced fit

back 19

enzyme hug

when substrate binds at active site holds on tighter

activation energy

back 20

energy needed to make the reaction occur

front 21

denaturation

back 21

loss of proteins native structure

front 22

Factors that affect enzyme activity

back 22

temperature

inhibitors

co-enzymes/co-factors

front 23

Feedback inhibition

back 23

when the product of a reactant binds the enzyme to prevent further reaction

front 24

competitive inhibitor

back 24

molecule that binds to the active site blocking substrate from binding

front 25

non-competitive inhibitor

back 25

molecule that binds to a location other than the active site and causes a conformational change

front 26

allosteric regulation

back 26

molecules that bind to a site on the enzyme and inhibits or activates its activity at another site.
