| Proteins | Heteropolymer of 20 amino acids, linked by peptide bonds
Essential-9, nonessential-11 |
| Nitrogenous base | Purine base- Adenine, Guanine
Pyrimidine base- Thymine (DNA), Cytosine, Uracil (RNA) |
| Nucleosides | Nitrogenous base + sugar
Ribose sugar in RNA Deoxyribose sugar in DNA Examples: Adenosine, guanosine, thymidine, cytidine, uridine |
| Nucleotides | Nitrogenous base + sugar + phosphate
Adenylic acid, cytidylic acid, etc. |

| Chitin | Polymer of N-acetylglucosamine |
| Ribozyme | Catalytic RNA |
| Competitive inhibitor | Inhibitor binds to enzyme due to structural similarity with the substrate
E.g. Malonate inhibits succinic dehydrogenase. Here substrate is succinate. |
| Hydrolases | Facilitate hydrolysis of bonds such as glycosidic, peptide, ester, ether, etc.
E.g. amylase, lipase, nuclease, protease |
| Cofactors | Non-protein part required for enzyme activity
Apoenzyme- Protein part of the enzyme |
| Prosthetic group | Tightly bound to apoenzyme
E.g. haem group present in catalase, peroxidase |
| Coenzymes | Bind to apoenzyme transiently
E.g. NAD, NADP |
| Metal ions as a cofactor | Zn in carboxypeptidase |
