Workshop #2

No Fun Fact
No Quote of the Day

Remember this:

BOLD WORDS = KEY WORDS

• Dr. Olek will make the calculations easy
• Ignore extra info like pH 7 @ 25 degrees C
  
• Spontaneous reactions => deltaG is negative at equilibrium
• a negative deltaG means free energy is released and can be used to do other work like COUPLING
  
• Activation Energy is needed to get to the transition state
• a Phosophodiester Bond links nucleotides ==> NOTE: THIS WILL BE ON THE TEST SO KNOW HOW TO DRAW THEM
• polymerization is the joining of nucleotides
  
• polypeptides are amino acid chains (proteins)
• Collision model = slow process because it depends on speed of molecules (energy) and orientation
  
• enymes lower entropy

Problem solving 101

1. list givens
2. draw diagram (may be a waste of time but if it helps do it)
3. find important relationships, proportions, whatever.
4. calculate
   

Thats it

P.S. For Ben and other freshmen. Clubs are for a meals, a side, and a fountain drink. Declining is money only for food and can be used everywhere. Flex or what they are now calling URos is money for everything.
