Across
  1. 1. a region on enzyme that binds to a protein or other substance during a reaction
  2. 4. a sequence of three nucleotides in a region of transfer RNA that recognizes a coding triplet of nucleotides in messenger RNA
  3. 8. any various proteins or substance produced by any living thing that acts as a catalyst to bring about a chemical reaction
  4. 9. a sequence of three nucleotides that together form a unit of genetic code. Ex: Like a DNA or RNA molecule
  5. 11. a minimum quantity of energy that the reacting species must posses in order to undergo a separate reaction
  6. 12. a nucleotide triplet within messenger RNA that signals a termination
  7. 14. a pair of parallel helices intertwined about a common axis. Ex: DNA molecular structure
  8. 16. the process by which genetic information on a strand of DNA is used to synthesize a strand of complementary RNA

  6. 10. a substance that causes or accelerates a chemical reaction
  7. 13. a compound consisting of a nucleoside linked to a phosphate group. Ex: basic unit of structure for DNA
  8. 15. a substance that decreases the rate or stops a chemical reaction completely
