Information recall - remember what you learned about different examples of molecules Interpreting information - verify that you understand how molecules are built Distinguishing differences - compare and contrast topics from the lesson such as atoms Additional Learning To learn more about molecules, ...
What are the main classes of large biological molecules? Which class does not consist of polymers? What is the type of hormone that can bind to an intracellular receptor? What is a macromolecule? What are the monomers and Polymers? A receptor protein on the outside of a cell ...
What kinds of molecules often trigger our sense of smell? What is the difference between sensation and perception? Is it possible to have one without the other? Provide at least 2 examples to support your position. How is the human sense of balance related to vision?
Detergentsandsoapsare familiar examples of amphipathic molecules, but many biochemical molecules are also amphipaths. Examples include phospholipids, which form the basis of cell membranes. Cholesterol, glycolipids, and fatty acids are amphipaths which also incorporate into cell membranes. Bile acids are ...
screening large molecule databases and identify which (drug-like) molecules are likely binding to a particular receptor protein predict the potency of a receptor agonist or antagonist (In the figure above, I rendered a crystal structure HIV protease and some potential inhibitors, PDB Code: 4TVH) ...
Have you ever seen a flower change color or noticed how food changes when cooked? These are all examples of chemical reactions that occur due to changes in the arrangement of atoms and molecules. Pharmaceuticals Chemistry plays a crucial role in the development of new medicines. Pharmaceutical com...
Molecules Simply put, molecules are particles composed of two or more atoms that are chemically held together; these molecules have a specific number of atomic nuclei, and can be considered an individual particle. Whether a particle consists of only one type of atom or a variety of different at...
Cell membranes are based on a framework of fat-based molecules called phospholipids, which physically prevent water-loving, or hydrophilic, substances from entering or escaping the cell. These membranes are also studded with proteins that serve various functions. Some of these proteins act as gatekeep...
The class of organic molecules characterized by their insolubility in water is the: a. Carbohydrate. b. lipids. c. proteins. d. ions. e. nucleic acids. The monomers of carbohydrates are called what? To which class of organic compound do enzymes belong?
Describe two examples of antimicrobial molecules made by a phagocytic cell. Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine is secreted by what cells? What are pluripotent cells? What compartments comprise the secretory pathway in mammalian cells? What is the function of the Schwann cells? What is an example of a pho...
