Warm Up 10/26: What are 3 reasons that lactase is used for industrial purposes? Will lactase act on fructose? Why or why not? Is lactose a monosaccharide, disaccharide, or polysaccharide? Why type of intermolecular bonds results in alpha & beta protein structures? What type of intermolecular bonds result in tertiary level proteins, such as enzymes?
What are 3 reasons that lactase is used for industrial purposes? Less sugar required b/c monosaccharides are sweeter than larger sugars Smoother ice cream b/c monosaccharides are more soluble Bacteria ferment monosaccharides faster Will lactase act on fructose? Why or why not? No, because the lactase’s active site will not fit with fructose substrate Is lactose a monosaccharide, disaccharide, or polysaccharide? Disaccharide Why type of intermolecular bonds results in alpha & beta protein structures? Hydrogen bonds What type of intermolecular bonds result in tertiary level proteins, such as enzymes? Ionic bonds, disulfide bonds, Van der Waals bonds
