proteolysis by trypsin and chain assembly leads to
formation of catalytic site (catalytic triad) and
chymotrypsin activation. First cleavage creates a
positively charged N-terminal residue which shifts its
example of chymotrypsinogen position and forms a salt bridge with Asp 194,
neighbor of Ser 195. This creates an oxyanion hone
and active site pocket. Further cleavages produce
alpha-chymotrypsin, principal and fully active form
found in digestive tract

Gram-positive: have simple cell walls with a thick layer of peptidoglycan.

gram positive vs gram negative bacteria
Gram-negative: more complex cell walls, less peptidoglycan, which is located between
2 membranes. More resistant to antibiotics.

ketoses or aldoses

a lot of chiral carbons creates complex stereochemistry. Asymmetric carbons and
stereochemistry of carbohydrates
differences in spatial arrangement give rise to lots of stereoisomers.

Nonsuperiposable stereoisomers that are mirror
images of each other. D-sugars dominate in living
enantiomers

monosaccharides with more than 3 carbons have
more than one chiral carbon. Stereoisomers that are
not mirror images of each other are called
Diastereomers
diastereomers. D or L designation is given based on
the orientation of the furthest chiral carbon from the
carbonyl group

at equilibrium carbohydrates in solution are
predominantly in a cyclic form. alpha and beta
groups are dictated by the position of the hydroxyl
cyclic form of carbohydrates group on C1 (anomeric carbon) in reference to the
C5 carbon. The alpha form is when the hydroxyl
group is "down" and the beta form is when the
hydroxyl group is "up"

epimers differ from each other at one carbon
