The following list shows the precedence of binary operators in Prometheus, from highest to lowest. ^ *, /, % +, -==, !=, <=, <, >=, > and, unless; or; Operators on the same precedence level are left-associative. For example, 2 * 3 % 2 is equivalent to (2 * 3) % 2. However ^ is right associative, so 2 ^ 3 ^ 2 is equivalent to 2 ^ (3 ^ 2).
Introduction - Enzyme Characteristics: A living system controls its activity through enzymes. An enzyme is a protein molecule that is a biological catalyst with three characteristics. First, the basic function of an enzyme is to increase the rate of a reaction. Most cellular reactions occur about a million times faster than they would in the absence of an enzyme.
Enzymes are soluble protein molecules that can speed up chemical reactions in cells. Like all proteins they consist of a string of different amino acid sub units. The amino acids must occur in the correct sequence for the enzyme to work. This sequence is controlled by the genetic code for the protein.
