Mind Map About Proteins, Enzymes, DNA, RNA, ATP, and various vitamins.
Proteins
Definition: Large molecules composed of one or more chains of amino acids in a specific order determined by the base sequence of nucleotides in the DNA coding for the protein.
Denaturation :red_flag:
The loss of a proetin's regular three dimensional shape is called denaturation. It is always followed with a biological function loss and is often irreversible.
-
Peptide Bond :red_flag:
When amino acids polymerize, the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amino
group of another, and they undergo dehydration synthesis which eventually results in the formation of a peptide bond.

Nucleic Acids
DNA
-
Double-Helix :red_flag:
The DNA has a double helix structure that is formed by two linear strands that run opposite to each other.
-
Organic Bases :red_flag:
The DNA has 4 organic bases named adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. Adenine matches with thymine while guanine matches with cytosine. :star:
-
RNA
Definition: RNA acts as a messenger carrying instructions from DNA for controlling the synthesis of proteins
-
Uracil :red_flag:
Uracil is an organic base that is found in the RNA. It is not found in the DNA, which is one of the main differences between them. In the DNA, uracil is replaced with thymine.:star:
ATP
Definition: ATP is an organic compound and hydrotrope that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells.
-
ADP :red_flag:
When ATP is hydrolized, it is converted into ADP. At the end of this process, energy is released.
Vitamins
Definition: Vitamins are a group of substances that are needed for normal cell function, growth, and development.
Fat-Soluble :red_flag:
Some vitamins are only soluble in fat. These vitamins include vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K.
