Entropy A measure of the amount of disorder in a substance or system. Entropy is usually measured in joules/mole degree Kelvin or calories/mole degree Kelvin (compare with enthalpy and Gibbs free energy). Enzyme A biomolecule that catalyzes a change in another molecule without being affected itself. 

Enzymes are Nature s catalysts, facilitating all of the chemical reactions of metabolism. They bind a specific substrate in an entatic state moving it along the reaction coordinate towards the reaction transition state thus lowering the reaction activation energy. Enzymes are generally made of proteins and contain an active site, often based around a metal ion. 

Nitrogen is a component of amino acids that make up proteins chlorophyll (the molecule that captures the sun s energy) enzymes and the genetic material, nucleic acids. Therefore, this nutrient is required in large amounts by all plants and forms one of three primary nutrients. Although nitrogen is available in abundance... 

Acylphosphate formation is characteristic for P-type ATPases and involves the transfer of the y-phosphate of ATP to an aspartic acid residue to form a high-energy enzyme intermediate. The phosphorylated aspartic acid residue is located in the sequence DKTGT, which is universally conserved in all members of the P-type superfamily. By this criterion, CopA and CopB of En. hirae are clearly members of the P-type superfamily of ATPases and probably function by the same underlying mechanism. Vanadate sensitivity is another hallmark of P-type ATPases. CopA and CopB were inhibited by vanadate with /50 values of around 0.1 mM. This is a low vanadate sensitivity compared to /50 values in the micromolar to submicromolar range observed for non-heavy metal P-type ATPases.
