Organic Molecules Life Span
525 words
The expression of genes is very complicated and is
regulated by a number of things. Something that
has a major effect on enzyme regulation and
stability is temperature. Since enzymes are
biochemical catalysts, made up at least partially
of protein, they are sensitive in varying degrees
to heat. Raising temperatures of the environment
generally multiplies the degree of activity by the
enzyme. Once an optimum temperature has been
reached, however, temperatures that are too high
will denature the e...

Amino Acids Dna Molecule

Introduction Deoxyribonucleic acid is contained in
all cells. The structure of DNA makes gene
transmission possible. Since genes are segments of
DNA, DNA must be able to make exact copies of
itself to enable the next generation of cells to
receive the same genes. The DNA molecule looks
like a twisted ladder. Each side is a chain of
alternating phosphate and deoxyribose sugar
molecules. The steps are formed by bonded pairs of
purine-pyrimidine bases. DNA contains four such
bases the purines adeni...
