Bonds in a protein's tertiary structure occur entirely between the highly variable R-groups of the amino acyl residues. Firstly, hydrogen bonds further to those in the secondary structure may form between...

Glycolysis- This is the first step which occurs in the cytosol. glucose broken down into pyruvate yielding 2 net atp and 2 pyruvate molecules per glucose. This is the only step in anaerobic respiration. <...

DNA contains the nucleotide base thymine whereas mRNA contains the nucleotide base uracil instead

DNA is double stranded, mRNA is single stranded

DNA contains the sugar subunit deoxyribose, ...

Amino acids are coded for by specific codons. There are some instances where some particular amino acids can be coded for by more than one codon (codon being three nucleotides bonded together). This is kn...

pH: All enzymes have an optimum pH value which is very specific. This is because hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions have very significant changes on the tertiary structure of an enzyme, whi...
