Results from our forumEnzymes and activation energy.... but rather it speeds up a reaction by altering the electrostatic character of the substrate molecule, by utilizing its charged or non polar side chains. This in turn increases the rate of reactivity of the substrate and stabilizes the transition state. New to biology

Re: What are microspheres and coacervates?... for the basis of the first primitive cells. In this context, a microsphere is made by amino acids joining under heat to form short peptide chains. When the water, in which they are suspended, dries out, the peptides often form into tiny spheres. A coacervate is a similar tiny sphere, but ...

But the fact that a hemoglobin molecule contains two alpha chains does not necessarily mean that one subunit came from one allele and the other came from the other allele. both alleles produce their proteins ...
