Biomolecules Links

 
Standard 1h: Most macromolecules (polysaccharides, nucleic acids, proteins, 
lipids) in cells and organisms are synthesized from a small collection of 
simple precursors. 

Stnadard 4e: Proteins can differ from one another in the number and sequence 
of amino acids. 

Standard 1b: Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions 
without altering the reaction equilibrium and the activities of enzymes 
depend on the temperature, ionic conditions, and the pH of the surroundings.
