The enzyme DNA helicase breaks the hydrogen bonds between the two polynucloetide DNA strands causing the double helix to unzip, forming two single strands. Each original single strand then acts as a template...

A condensation reaction is the formation of a chemical bond between two molecules with the elimination of a water molecule. You can tell this reaction has occurred when you see an equation written down as a ...

Glycolysis which is where glucose is broken down into 2 molecules of pyruvate releasing 2ATP and 2NADH. Second is the link reaction. This links glycolysis to the Krebs Cycle. Pyruvate molecules are decarboxy...

Competative inhibitors bind with the enzyme at the active site, blocking the substrate from binding and therefor preventing the substrate from binding and forming enzyme substrate complexes. Therefor if you ...

Changing one DNA base will alter one triplet in the DNA code. As each triplet codes for an amino acid this may result in a change to the primary structure of the protein produced. If the changed amino acid w...
