ase suffix indicates a enzyme. A protein molecule that preforms catabolic functions in the cell.
A protein Molecule
The type of molecule that is an enzyme is a protein molecule.
Yes, protein is a type of molecule made up of amino acids.
An informational molecule is typically a type of nucleic acid called DNA or RNA. These molecules carry genetic information that determines an organism's traits and functions. DNA stores genetic information, while RNA helps in protein synthesis.
An enzyme is a large protein molecule that functions to speed up chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. Enzymes are highly specific to the reactions they catalyze and can be reused multiple times.
Protein
A channel linked receptor transduces functions of the same protein molecule. An example of a channel linked receptor are neurotransmitters in the brain.
The molecule that can bind to a receptor protein is called a ligand.
Phosphorylation is the process where phosphates are added to a molecule, typically through the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to the target molecule. This process is important for regulating protein activity, signal transduction, and various cellular functions.
The type of molecule that a protein is is a polymer. To be more specific, protein is a polypeptide. Polymers are molecules that consist of repeating subunits. For example, a chain is a polymer of links, and can be considered a "poly-link". Similarly, proteins are repeating chains of peptide subunits, which are in turn made of amino acids.
Two functions of protein are growth and repair.
