Across
  1. 3. a substance that causes or accelerates a chemical reaction
  2. 4. a region on en enzyme that binds to a protein or other substance during a reaction
  3. 8. the process by which a messenger RNA molecule specifics the linear sequence of amino acids on a ribosome for protein synthesis
  4. 9. a sequence of three nulcletides in a region of transfer RNA that recognizes a coding triplet of nucleotides in messenger RNA
  5. 10. the process by which genetic information on a strand of DNA is used to synthesize a strand of complementary RNA
  6. 11. both the substrate and an enzyme have specific geometric shapes that they fit into each other
  7. 14. a pair of parallel helices intertwined about a common axis. Ex: DNA molecular structure
  8. 15. any various proteins or substance produced by any living thing that acts as a catalyst to bring bout a chemical reaction
Down
  1. 1. the substance acted upon by an enzyme
  2. 2. a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination
  3. 3. a non protein compounds that is necessary for the functioning of an enzyme
  4. 4. a minimum quantity of energy that the reacting species must posses in order to undergo a separate reaction
