Hi there Biowiz is back! I found an awesome video about enzymes on youtube and just had to share it with you. I must say firstly that it is a wonderful video and that it teaches very coherently. My lecturer has one just as good as this…lol….ok i’m joking..its wayy better but it does give most of what you should know about the topic. I was just listening to it really to better understand enzymes but something came up….something i did not know!!.

Yupp…i know. He mentioned that amino-acids add charges to the substrate allowing it to bind to the active site. I knew that there were charges associated right…but no one really told me where those charges originated..lol. just that there are hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interactions involved. I still hadda ask My Hokage for confirmation doe….we trust this guy. He’s like the messiah of biochemistry…ALL HAIL HOKAGE!..:) Anyway, this guy also mentioned something about Induce strain on the substrate and i was like……HUH, i never heard about any substrate being strained by an active site but he said that the substrate stretches which causes it to aquire an unstable transition state which aid in the reaction. It sounds nice and dandy but imma check that up to..:) The video does lack a key thing doe…a good energy profile diagram and delta G ( free energy of activation) explaination. The graph is a bit sketchy and omits the substrate/ reactants level and the product level and should show the delta g of the uncatalysed and catalyzed reactions. Other than those mistakes, the video gets an A from me. Good job SalmonellaPlace…:)

Enzyme classes made simple

No need to try and learn off these long enzyme name. This is how i made it simple to learn

Crunch Time!!

HI Biowiz here. Ight I don’t know about my classmates but as of this point everything seems overwhelming. My biggest enemy right now is this thing called TIME (Totally Irritable over My Enzyme lab!!) With no procedure for my experiment A and B, and lab partners that wont share there result….I don’t know what I’ll do. I’m being real here, its easy to finish once u have co-operation but some student rather work by themselves. This week was STRESS ( Slowly Trying to Rip Ever Students Soul out). Only have A and B left….i’ll find something out hopefully.

Hahaha!

Saw this and just had to share it. Analysis is the process of taking apart something into it constituents in order to study it.

In-course exam tomorrow!!

Ok so there is another incourse exam in the morning at 9:00am. All i have to do now to revise cell and carbohydrates, enzymes and proteins, amino-acids and glycolysis…sigh….its alot but Mr Mattew said put our trust in him….i hope its not to hard!! Ok im ready!!!…kinda…lol

Why the eyes are anaerobic…..

Capillaries and mitochondria would refract light in the optical path to the retina and as such the cornea and lens are relatively devoid of these structures. Hence, both cornea and lens rely heavily on anaerobic metabolism. Very interesting…..don’t over work your eyes..you just might get a cramp..lol. I learnt this in my Enzyme and Glycolysis tutorial last week…really didnt know this …i just thought it was the erythrocytes and muscle cells during vigorous exercise…learning in progress..

This is my glycolysis wordle.

I’m having a lot of trouble studying over this easter weekend. Its Sunday and i haven’t picked up a book yet. Just soo hard for me to stay home when everyone is at the beach…..and i wanna go to.I guess thats the temptation we all face on any holiday, well unless your family don’t go out much. I promised myself that tomorrow is solely for studying…and updating my blog of course..:D
