You coat a Petri dish with fibronectin and proteoglycans and culture cells on the dish. The cells adhere to the dish. You repeat the experiment but this time add RGD tripeptides to the culture dish as the cells are added. The result of this experiment is an example of what biochemical process?

The results of the experiment is a process called competitive inhibition.

Explanation:

Competitive inhibition is a process where an inhibitor (RGD tripeptides in this case) that resembles a normal substrate bind the active site of an enzyme and prevents the a real substrate from binding and a product from being formed (blocking enzymes active site).

When RDG tripeptides are added the cells would not adhere to the dish (competitive inhibition).

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
