Biochemistry Terms flashcards are a set of study tools designed to help students learn and memorize important terms and concepts related to biochemistry. These flashcards typically include key definitions, equations, and diagrams to aid in the understanding of complex biochemical processes.
These flashcards focus on biochemistry, which is the branch of science that explores the chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms. Biochemistry plays a crucial role in understanding how cells function, how diseases develop, and how medications work in the body.
Using Biochemistry Terms flashcards can be a helpful and effective way to reinforce learning and improve memory retention. Flashcards allow students to review information in a quick and interactive manner, making it easier to recall important concepts during exams or when studying for assignments. Additionally, flashcards can be used anywhere, making them a convenient study tool for busy students.

quick facts
Biochemistry is the study of chemical processes within and relating to living organisms.
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in the body.
Metabolism is the process by which the body converts food into energy.
Proteins are large molecules made up of amino acids that are essential for the body’s structure and function.
DNA is a molecule that carries genetic information and is responsible for determining an organism’s traits.

Transcription
Transcription: The process of copying DNA into RNA.
Translation
Process of turning mRNA into a protein.
Peptide bond
A peptide bond is a chemical bond that connects amino acids in a protein chain.
Denaturation
Denaturation: Changing the shape of a protein so it can no longer function properly.
Substrate
Substrate: The material or surface on which an organism or chemical reaction occurs.
Active site
The active site is where a substance binds to an enzyme to start a chemical reaction.
Allosteric regulation
Allosteric regulation: Control of enzyme activity by molecules binding to a site other than the active site.
