Question 4

Enzymes that isomerize a substrate

Answer 4

Isomerases

Question 5

Enzymes that eliminate groups to form double bonds or add to a double bond

Answer 5

Lyases

Question 6

Enzymes that form bonds coupled with ATP hydrolysis to provide energy

Answer 6

Ligases

Question 7

What are the 6 denaturing agents?

Answer 7

Heat
Agitation
Detergents
Organic solvents
Acids or bases
Inorganic salts

Question 8

How does adding acid, base, or nonpolar solvent denature proteins?

Answer 8

Acid or base changes charges on acidic or basic side chains and disrupts salt bridges
Nonpolar solvents disrupt hydrophobic interactions.
