Quaternary - interaction between two or more polypeptides necessary for protein function. Most macromolecules are assembled through condensation reactions. List the general properties associated with assembly through condensation. Write a chemical equation that describes a condensation reaction. You can use either a specific example or a general equation.
Condensation reactions require energy.
The monomer subunits must be activated to participate in the condensation reaction. The reaction favors G3P synthesis in glycolysis, and DHAP synthesis in photosynthesis. In glycolysis, the reaction is driven to the right because G3P is consumed in the next step of the pathway. The enzyme b-galactosidase catalyzes the hydrolysis of the disaccharide lactose to monosaccharides glucose and galactose. From this graph, define and determine Km and Vmax for this reaction.
