| | 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.
