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