Basics of Biochemistry

    Cards (18)

    • Biochemistry - study of life at the molecular level
    • Collision Theory - according to this theory, for biochemical reactions to occur, there usually must be an optimal spatial arrangement between the reacting molecules.
    • Stereochemistry - the study of the interactions of molecules in three dimension
    • Stereoisomers - same four constituents bound to them, yet differ in the arrangement of constituent
    • Isomers - same chemical formula, but different bonding, shape, or orientation
    • Diastereomers - are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other
    • Enantiomers - non-superimpose mirror images
