Lipase (Definition) Lipases, such as lipoprotein lipase and endothelial lipase, are enzymes that breakdown circulating triglycerides (tg). Specifically, lipases degrade tg rich lipoproteins including chylomicrons, very low density lipoprotein (vldl) and remnant particles produced by breakdown of chylomicron and vldl particles.
Properties of a free atom include ionization energy and electron affinity. It is to be expected that the electronegativity of an element will vary with its chemical environment, but it is usually considered to be a transferable property, that is to say that similar values will be valid in a variety of situations.n atom's electronegativity is affected by both its atomic number and the distance at which its valence electrons reside from the charged nucleus. The higher the associated electronegativity number, the more an element or compound attracts electrons towards it.
Cesium, with a value of 0.7, is below lithium. In general, electronegativity increases from left to right across the periodic table. It decreases from top to bottom. The Pauling scale gives a good measure of the type of bond atoms will form. The electronegative difference between two non-metal atoms is small; thus, covalent bonds are formed.
